[BlackDeft]

Hi i want to create a vip using ulx
but if i create a script with one i want to give him some more healt and speed i get this error :



[ERROR] lua/viptest.lua:2: attempt to call method 'IsUserGroup' (a nil value)
  1. fn - lua/viptest.lua:2
   2. unknown - addons/ulib_557962238/lua/ulib/shared/hook.lua:110
    3. Spawn - [C]:-1
     4. unknown - gamemodes/base/gamemode/player.lua:115



 my script at that moment look :

local function spawn( ply )
   if ( Player( 2 ):IsUserGroup( "VIP" ) ) then

      SetPlayerSpeed( ply , 300, 80 )
   end
end
hook.Add( "PlayerSpawn", "some_unique_name", spawn )


can someone tell me whats wrong ?

Code: [Select]

  if ( Player( 2 ):IsUserGroup( "VIP" ) ) then

Why Player(2)?  Should by ply, like the other two references to it in your script.

"some_unique_name"

You really should change that to something, um... unique.

I know this is fairly old and the OP didn't post anything new, but I'm just putting this here for future reference if anyone needs.


Especially if you try to load it in a singleplayer game, this error is no surprise. If you have ( Player( 2 ):IsUserGroup it's going to find the usergroup of that person. If you're in singleplayer, there is no one with the ID of 2, so it becomes a nil value. All you'd need to do is ( Player( ply ) because your function has the variable ply.

If you change it to just

Code: Lua

1. local function spawn( ply )
2.    if ( Player( ply ):IsUserGroup( "VIP" ) ) then
3.     SetPlayerSpeed( ply , 300, 80 )
4.    end
5. end
6. hook.Add( "PlayerSpawn", "some_unique_name", spawn )

It should work just fine

Or you could just use UTeam, no need for lua.

UTeam doesn't work on every gamemode.
