Adding more to the script from above, I'm trying to have server promotions based on the players total time in the server while they have not had a warning lvl.

Players_Time.txt:

Code: [Select]

"players"
{
"STEAM_0:1:13630765"
{
"time"
{
"0"
}
}
}
Promotions.lua:

Code: Lua

1. Promotion_Inerval = 2 // Time in hours
2. Time_Reduction = 10 // Time lost in minutes per warning level
3.  
4.  
5. Player_Time_Table = (ULib.parseKeyValues( file.Read("Player_Times.txt")))
6.  
7.  
8. function PromotionInit( ply )
9.         timer.Create( ply:Nick().. "Promotion_Timer", 1, 0, SetTime, ply)
10.         ply.Last_Check = 0
11.                 for _, Id in pairs(Player_Time_Table.players) do
12.                         if string.find( Id, ply:SteamID(), 1, true) then
13.                                 ply.total_time = Player_Time_Table.players.ply:SteamID().time
14.                         else
15.                                 ply.total_time = 0
16.                         end
17.                 end
18. end
19. hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "PromotionInit_Hook", PromotionInit )
20.  
21. function SetTime( ply )
22.         ply.total_time = (ply.total_time + 1)
23.         table.insert( Player_Time_Table.players.ply:SteamID().time, 1, ply.total_time)
24.         file.Write( "Player_Times.txt", ULib.makeKeyValues(Players_Time_Table))
25. end
26.  
27.  
28. function Warn_Think()
29.         for _, ply in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
30.                 if ply.warn > 0 then
31.                         if timer.IsTimer( ply:Nick().. "Promotion_Timer" ) then
32.                                 timer.Stop( ply:Nick().. "Promotion_Timer" )
33.                         end
34.                 else
35.                         if timer.IsTimer( ply:Nick().. "Promotion_Timer" ) then
36.                                 timer.Start( ply:Nick().. "Promotion_Timer" )
37.                         end
38.                 end
39.                 if (ply.warn > 5) and (!ply.warn == ply.Last_Check) then
40.                         if (!ply.total_time == 0) then
41.                                 ply.total_time = (ply.total_time - (ply.warn * Time_Reduction))
42.                                 ply.Last_Check = ply.warn
43.                                         if ply.total_time < 0 then
44.                                                 ply.total_time = 0
45.                                         end
46.                         end
47.                 end
48.         end
49. end
50. timer.Create( "ThinkTimer_Warn", 1, 0, Warn_Think)

Error:

Code: [Select]

Timer Error: ULib/modules/Promotions.lua:22: attempt to perform arithmetic on fi
eld 'total_time' (a nil value)That's with me in the server, I realize I didn't add the PlayerDisconnected hook to Destroy the timer yet.
Um... Warn_Think is working as it should, but the total_time isn't getting set, and I need that inorder to go any further in this script. I don't see anything wrong, but I've been know to miss the little to medium problems :S.

[jay209015]

Ok, wow. There were alot of errors in that last script, so here's the new one.

Promotions.lua:

Code: Lua

1. Player_Time_Table = (ULib.parseKeyValues( file.Read("Player_Times.txt")))
2. Msg("Table Created and set \n")
3.  
4. function PromotionInit( ply )
5.         Player_Time_Table = (ULib.parseKeyValues( file.Read("Player_Times.txt")))
6.         ply.Last_Check = 0
7.                 for _, Id in pairs(Player_Time_Table.players) do
8.                         if string.find( Id, ply:Nick(), 1, true) then
9.                        
10.                         else
11.                                 Player_Time_Table.players.ply:Nick() = {}
12.                                 Player_Time_Table.players.ply:Nick().time = 0
13.                         end
14.                 end
15. end
16. hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "PromotionInit_Hook", PromotionInit )

Player_Times.txt:

Code: [Select]

"players"
{
"Jay209015"
{
"time" 20
}
"TestPlayer"
{
"time" 0
}
}
Jay209015 was entered straight into the text file by me, but test players was entered in with:

Code: [Select]

Player_Time_Table = (ULib.parseKeyValues( file.Read("Player_Times.txt")))
lua_run Player_Time_Table.players.TestPlayer = {}
lua_run Player_Time_Table.players.TestPlayer.time = 0
in that order. After the server starts Player_Time_Table = nil for somereason, even if the tables are in the text file.

Code: [Select]

> PrintTable(Player_Time_Table)...
includes\util.lua:21: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil)
==EDIT==

More to the errors list:

1. Player_Time_Table = (ULib.parseKeyValues( file.Read("Player_Times.txt")))
2. Msg("Table Created and set \n")
3.  
4. function PromotionInit( ply )
5.         ply.Last_Check = 0
6.                 if !(util.tobool(Player_Time_Table.playersJay209015.time)) then
7.                         Player_Time_Table.players.Jay209015 = { time = 0}
8.                 end
9.                 timer.Create(ply:Nick().. "Promotion_Timer", 1, 0, SetTime, ply)
10. end
11. hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "PromotionInit_Hook", PromotionInit )
12.  
13. function SetTime( ply )
14.         Player_Time_Table.players.Jay209015.time = Player_Time_Table.players.Jay209015.time + 1
15.         file.Write( "Player_Times.txt", ULib.makeKeyValues(Player_Time_Table))
16. end

Above works fine, but below does not.

Code: Lua

1. Player_Time_Table = (ULib.parseKeyValues( file.Read("Player_Times.txt")))
2. Msg("Table Created and set \n")
3.  
4. function PromotionInit( ply )

6.                 if !(util.tobool(Player_Time_Table.players.ply:Nick().time)) then
7.                         Player_Time_Table.players.ply:Nick() = { time = 0}
8.                 end
9.                 timer.Create(ply:Nick().. "Promotion_Timer", 1, 0, SetTime, ply)
10. end
11. hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "PromotionInit_Hook", PromotionInit )
12.  
13. function SetTime( ply )
14.         Player_Time_Table.players.ply:Nick().time = Player_Time_Table.players.ply:Nick().time + 1
15.         file.Write( "Player_Times.txt", ULib.makeKeyValues(Player_Time_Table))
16. end

is there something else I can use other than ply:Nick() to get the players name and have it work in a table?

[jay209015]

Ok, after a bit of research I fixed the problem from above, but the new one is confusing.

All was good until my server was completely restarted. Now it does something really wierd.

Player_Time.txt:

Code: [Select]

"players"
{
"TestPlayer"
{
"time" 0
}
}

lua_run PrintTable(Player_Time_Table):

Code: [Select]

???^*#1:
                TestPlayer:
                                time    =       0
Code that rights this table.

Code: [Select]

Player_Time_Table = (ULib.parseKeyValues( file.Read("Player_Times.txt")))
Msg("Table Created and set \n")
verification table was set:

Code: [Select]

[ULIB] Loading module: Promotions.lua
Table Created and set
Only error reported:

Code: [Select]

ERROR: Hook 'PromotionInit_Hook' Failed: ULib/modules/Promotions.lua:13: attempt
 to index field 'players' (a nil value)
Removing Hook 'PromotionInit_Hook'
Function of the hook mentioned above:

Code: Lua

1. function PromotionInit( ply )
2.         ply.Last_Check = 0
3.                 if Player_Time_Table.players[ply:Nick()] == nil then
4.                         Player_Time_Table.players[ply:Nick()] = { time = 0 }
5.                 end
6.                 if !ply:IsAdmin() and !ply:IsSuperAdmin() then
7.                         if ply:IsUserGroup( "user" ) then
8.                                 ply.promotionlvl = 0
9.                         else
10.                                 if ply:IsUserGroup( "mod" ) then
11.                                         ply.promotionlvl = 1
12.                                 else
13.                                         if ply:IsUserGroup( "respected" ) then
14.                                                 ply.promotionlvl = 2
15.                                         else
16.                                                 if ply:IsUserGroup( "operator" ) then
17.                                                         ply.promotionlvl = 3
18.                                                 end
19.                                         end
20.                                 end
21.                         end
22.                 end
23.                 timer.Create(ply:Nick().. "Promotion_Timer", 1, 0, SetTime, ply)
24. end
25. hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "PromotionInit_Hook", PromotionInit )

It's obvious why the hook is broken, but not the reason that the "players" changes to "^*#1" this is the wierdest errors I've seen so far. Any suggestions/idea on how to fix or as to why this is happening?

==EDIT==
Got this error on client:
