What's the error you get

Edit:
Nevermind, I see it
On line 14 of the code you posted here, you're missing a ) at the end of the line
It should read
local MyLabel = vgui.Create( "DLabel", MyDerma )
but you have
local MyLabel = vgui.Create( "DLabel", MyDerma

Edit2:
You're also missing some things on line 10, give me a second to fix it
Working line (untested): MyDerma:SetPos( midW - ( MyDerma:GetWide() / 2 ), midH - (MyDerma:GetTall() )

[XxLMM13xX]

For somereason its not workign can you please test it? maybe its just me? idk

[Zmaster]

what's the error you're getting

[XxLMM13xX]

Im gonna get off for now but im be on tomorrow so please watch this thred ;( thanks!

[FunnyCop]

After Zmaster's edits these are the things you need to correct.

Remove the "local" in line 7

Code: Lua

1. function OpenMyDerma()

Zmaster's correction for line 10 is incorrect, the code on line 11 needs to be on line 10

Code: Lua

1. MyDerma:SetPos( midW - ( MyDerma:GetWide() / 2 ), midH - (MyDerma:GetTall() / 2) )

You also have a nil value "midW" on line 10 and probably should be "midx" instead

Code: Lua

1. MyDerma:SetPos( midx - ( MyDerma:GetWide() / 2 ), midH - (MyDerma:GetTall() / 2) )

Like Zmaster said, line 14 should be

Code: Lua

1. local MyLabel = vgui.Create( "DLabel", MyDerma )

There was a ":" on line 18 that isn't supposed to be there.

Code: Lua

1. MyButton:SetText( "Click to die" )

The corrected script should be

Code: Lua

1. if (SERVER) then
2.  
3. end
4.  
5. if (CLIENT) then
6.         local midx, midH = ScrW() / 2, ScrH() / 2
7.         function OpenMyDerma()
8.                 local MyDerma = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
9.                 MyDerma:SetSize(250, 250)
10.                 MyDerma:SetPos( midx - ( MyDerma:GetWide() / 2 ), midH - (MyDerma:GetTall() / 2) )
11.                 MyDerma:SetTitle( "Best Derma EVER" )
12.  
13.                 local MyLabel = vgui.Create( "DLabel", MyDerma )
14.                 MyLabel:SetPos( 175, 20 )
15.                 MyLabel:SetText( "This is my awesome label" )
16.  
17.                 local MyButton = vgui.Create( "DButton", MyDerma )
18.                 MyButton:SetText( "Click to die" )
19.                 MyButton:SetPos( 90, 60 )
20.                 MyButton.DoClick = function()
21.                         RunConsoleCommand( "kill" )
22.                 end
23.         end
24.         concommand.Add( "openmyderma", OpenMyDerma )
25. end

Now that your code is able to be ran there are some things that need to be added in order for the GUI to be used.

Add this below line 11

Code: Lua

1. MyDerma:SetVisible( true )
2. MyDerma:MakePopup()

Without that you can't click the button you have.

The final code should be

Code: Lua

1. if (SERVER) then
2.  
3. end
4.  
5. if (CLIENT) then
6.         local midx, midH = ScrW() / 2, ScrH() / 2
7.         function OpenMyDerma()
8.                 local MyDerma = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
9.                 MyDerma:SetSize(250, 250)
10.                 MyDerma:SetPos( midx - ( MyDerma:GetWide() / 2 ), midH - (MyDerma:GetTall() / 2) )
11.                 MyDerma:SetTitle( "Best Derma EVER" )
12.                 MyDerma:SetVisible( true )
13.                 MyDerma:MakePopup()
14.  
15.                 local MyLabel = vgui.Create( "DLabel", MyDerma )
16.                 MyLabel:SetPos( 175, 20 )
17.                 MyLabel:SetText( "This is my awesome label" )
18.  
19.                 local MyButton = vgui.Create( "DButton", MyDerma )
20.                 MyButton:SetText( "Click to die" )
21.                 MyButton:SetPos( 90, 60 )
22.                 MyButton.DoClick = function()
23.                         RunConsoleCommand( "kill" )
24.                 end
25.         end
26.         concommand.Add( "openmyderma", OpenMyDerma )
27. end

Thank you so much!!! I will try that out!!!

Please keep watch on this tho just incase!!!

[Zmaster]

I thought that this was true by default so you don't have to use it?
MyDerma:SetVisible( true )

[FunnyCop]

You're right, it is set by default but I had LMM add it as a precautionary measure in case something he/she adds causes a problem with the frame popping up.

Also you can remove

Code: Lua

1. if (SERVER) then
2.  
3. end

And

Code: Lua

1. if (CLIENT) then
2.  
3. end

It will add "openmyderma" as a concommand on the server itself instead of making it be just a client-side command. This way if you end up putting a script like this on your server the clients won't have to have the script installed.

[XxLMM13xX]

I dont know why but it wont come up?!? it says unknown command but there are no errors?!? its annoying!!! please help!!!!!!!!!!!!

[XxLMM13xX]

This is the error that i get...

[ERROR] addons/mynewderm/lua/autorun/sh.lua:22: '<eof>' expeted near 'end'
1. unknown - addons/mynewderm/lua/autorun/sh.lua:0

[FunnyCop]

Don't put it in your addons folder.

If you're running a dedicated server put it in
/gmod/garrysmod/lua/autorun

If you're running a listen server (by pressing start new game) put it in
/garrysmod/garysmod/lua/autorun

If you're just using your game client put it in
/garrysmod/garysmod/lua

This script is just a script, not an addon. I ran it without any issues.

[Edit]
I attached the lua file I edited and ran without issues.

Code: Lua

1. local midx, midH = ScrW() / 2, ScrH() / 2
2.         function OpenMyDerma()
3.                 local MyDerma = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
4.                 MyDerma:SetSize(250, 250)
5.                 MyDerma:SetPos( midx - ( MyDerma:GetWide() / 2 ), midH - (MyDerma:GetTall() / 2) )
6.                 MyDerma:SetTitle( "Best Derma EVER" )
7.                 MyDerma:SetVisible( true )
8.                 MyDerma:MakePopup()
9.  
10.                 local MyLabel = vgui.Create( "DLabel", MyDerma )
11.                 MyLabel:SetPos( 175, 20 )
12.                 MyLabel:SetText( "This is my awesome label" )
13.  
14.                 local MyButton = vgui.Create( "DButton", MyDerma )
15.                 MyButton:SetText( "Click to die" )
16.                 MyButton:SetPos( 90, 60 )
17.                 MyButton.DoClick = function()
18.                         RunConsoleCommand( "kill" )
19.                 end
20.         end
21. concommand.Add( "openmyderma", OpenMyDerma )

[XxLMM13xX]

I put it in the right folder and its not working!!!

Do i type openmyderma in the console because thats what im doing and its not working!!!!!

This is the code....

Code: Lua

1. local midx, midH = ScrW() / 2, ScrH() / 2
2.         function OpenMyDerma()
3.                 local MyDerma = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
4.                 MyDerma:SetSize(250, 250)
5.                 MyDerma:SetPos( midx - ( MyDerma:GetWide() / 2 ), midH - (MyDerma:GetTall() / 2) )
6.                 MyDerma:SetTitle( "Best Derma EVER" )
7.                 MyDerma:SetVisible( true )
8.                 MyDerma:MakePopup()
9.  
10.                 local MyLabel = vgui.Create( "DLabel", MyDerma )
11.                 MyLabel:SetPos( 175, 20 )
12.                 MyLabel:SetText( "This is my awesome label" )
13.
