Errors when in jail

[DankNessProvides]

I am getting an error with getting the print name of the weapon when the player is either stripped or in jail on darkrp how would I go about getting it to actually check if the player is either stripped of weapons or is in jail.

Code: Lua

1.         if LocalPlayer():Alive() and LocalPlayer():GetActiveWeapon():GetPrintName() != nil then
2.                 draw.SimpleText( LocalPlayer():GetActiveWeapon():GetPrintName(), "Trebuchet24", ScrW() / 2 + 690, ScrH() / 2 + 305, Color(255,255,255), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER, TEXT_ALIGN_TOP)
3.         end

This code stops the error but removes the weapon name:

Code: Lua

1.         if LocalPlayer():Alive() and LocalPlayer():GetActiveWeapon != nil then
2.                 if LocalPlayer():GetActiveWeapon():GetPrintName() != nil then
3.                         draw.SimpleText( LocalPlayer():GetActiveWeapon():GetPrintName(), "Trebuchet24", ScrW() / 2 + 690, ScrH() / 2 + 305, Color(255,255,255), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER, TEXT_ALIGN_TOP)
4.                 end
5.         end

Using an unchecked function return value as the object for another function call is an anti-pattern.  You should be checking all of those to make sure they are valid. Additionally, not every weapon will have a Print Name defined, necessarily.  They should -- but not a guarantee.

Code: [Select]

if ( IsValid( LocalPlayer() ) ) then
if ( IsValid( LocalPlayer():GetActiveWeapon() ) ) then
draw.SimpleText( LocalPlayer():GetActiveWeapon():GetPrintName() or "NoPrintNameDefined", "Trebuchet24", ScrW() / 2 + 690, ScrH() / 2 + 305, Color(255,255,255), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER, TEXT_ALIGN_TOP)
end
end

getting the print name of the weapon when the player is either stripped or in jail

Well, when they don't have any active weapon, what do you expect GetActiveWeapon() to return?

What I want to know is what is the DarkRP variable or how do I check to see if the player is in arrested.
