Noob Lua Question

[Doomed]

So I'm quiet new with lua, but there's 1 thing i'm currently having problems with: I can't get the spawn menu to be enabled. I've derived it from sandbox, so there's no problem there. I also added this to init.lua:(might be wrong though)

Code: [Select]

function GM:SpawnMenuEnabled()
return true;
end
Any ideas?

Tried SANDBOX:SpawnMenuEnabled ?
(MrPresident is probably one of our most experienced gamemode coders here...I'm sure he'll have more questions to assist you if my suggestion isn't correct.
I've no idea if GM in a Sandbox derived gamemode actually becomes 'sandbox')

[MrPresident]

If you are deriving from Sandbox you shouldn't even have to run that function.

The spawn menu should be enabled by default unless you specifically disabled it.

As for the SANDBOX replacing GAMEMODE (or GM), I've never seen this other than just now on the wiki. Also I couldn't find anything in the gamemode's source code to support this either.

Even in the cl_spawnmenu.lua right from the Sandbox gamemode it's

Code: Lua

1. function GM:SpawnMenuEnabled()
2.         return true    
3. end
4.  

Try removing that function entirely from your code. If the spawnmenu still isn't working, let me know.

Back, sorry if this may be a semi-bump, but I finally fixed it! Turns out  I manually had to write

Code: [Select]

DeriveGamemode( "sandbox" ) in shared.lua. Putting

Code: [Select]

"base" "sandbox" in gamemode.txt didn't do anything.

[MrPresident]

I could have told you that.

Yeah, make sure you're deriving your gamemode properly and you should be fine.
