Gmod Nutscript Server How To Set Factions Health

[Capin]

I have no idea how I'm supposed to setup the health that a faction spawns with, could someone please tell me what kind of function I need to put in that factions lua file?

I don't know exactly what you're talking about, but I believe the Entity:SetMaxHealth line might help you here.

[Capin]

That doesn't work

Can I see the code that you have right now? Please post it using the (code=lua) tag (with brackets [] not parentheses)

You can use [nobbc][/nobbc] tags to disable BBCode parsing for anything between them.
Example:
[b]bold[/b]                ---> bold
[nobbc][b]bold[/b][/nobbc] ---> [b]bold[/b]

FACTION.name = "Deathwatch"
FACTION.desc = "Space Marine battle brother of the Sons of Dorn"
FACTION.color = Color(85,85,85)
FACTION.models = {
"models/player/group01/female_01.mdl",
"models/player/group01/female_02.mdl",
"models/player/group01/female_03.mdl",
"models/player/group01/female_04.mdl",
"models/player/group01/female_05.mdl",
"models/player/group01/female_06.mdl",
"models/player/group01/male_01.mdl",
"models/player/group01/male_02.mdl",
"models/player/group01/male_03.mdl",
"models/player/group01/male_04.mdl",
"models/player/group01/male_05.mdl",
"models/player/group01/male_06.mdl",
"models/player/group01/male_07.mdl",
"models/player/group01/male_08.mdl",
"models/player/group01/male_09.mdl",
}
FACTION.isDefault = false
SetMaxHealth(1000)
FACTION_DEATHWATCH = FACTION.index

[iViscosity]

That's not how you would do it. I don't know exactly how these things "factions" work, but try putting in

Code: Lua

1. Deathwatch:SetMaxHealth( 1000 )

instead. I don't know if that's considered an entity, so if that doesn't work try putting in something like

Code: Lua

1. PlayerSpawn = function( ply )
2.     ply:SetMaxHealth( 1000 )
3.     ply:SetHealth( 1000 )
4.     return CLIENT
5. end
6.  

(PS, I stole that from here and it seems to be different from what you're doing, so I don't know for sure if it will work)

[Capin]

sorry that didn't work

[iViscosity]

Can you tell me exactly what didn't work except "that didn't work"? It's kind of hard to fix things if you don't give what happens.

Are you getting any errors? If so, what are they?

the first one gives me these two errors while the second one gives me no errors but it still doesn't work.

Please use the  tag when you are posting errors.


Can you post the entirety of the "Deathwatch" file using the [code] *put all your stuff here [/code] tag, please?


Also, if you have any other factions that have altered health, you could look at the code and copy paste it. I'm looking for some documentation about it, but I can't seem to find much as I'm not very familiar with NutScript.

[iViscosity]

I may have found something. Try putting in this into a server file (or, if in shared, do

Code: Lua

1.  if SERVER then

Code: Lua

1. function SCHEMA:PostPlayerLoadout( client )
2.  
3.   if ( client:Team() == FACTION_DEATHWATCH ) then
4.  
5.     for k, v in ipairs(nut.class.list) do
6.  
7.       if ( client:getChar():joinClass( k ) ) then
8.  
9.       break
10.       end
11.   end
12.  
13. hook.Run( "PlayerRankChanged", client )
14.  
15.   client:SetMaxHealth( 1000 )
16.   client:SetHealth( 1000 )
17.  
18. end

(stole code from here so it may or may not work).

thanks so much it works
