setting up classes to be restricted to certain people in nutscript

[Capin]

Code: Lua

1. SCHEMA.name = "The Institute Warhammer40K RP"
2. SCHEMA.desc = "A Semi-Serious Warhammer40K Server."
3. SCHEMA.author = "Capin"
4.  
5. nut.currency.set("$","Credit","Credits")
6.  
7. nut.util.includeDir("hooks")
8. nut.util.includeDir("config")
9.  
10. function SCHEMA:isCombineFaction(faction)
11.         return faction == FACTION_SONS_OF_DORN or faction == FACTION_OW
12. end
13.  
14. do
15.         local playerMeta = FindMetaTable("Player")
16.  
17.         function playerMeta:isCombine()
18.                 return SCHEMA:isCombineFaction(self:Team())
19.         end
20.  
21.         function playerMeta:getCombineRank()
22.                 local name = self:Name()
23.  
24.                 for k, v in ipairs(SCHEMA.techmarineRanks) do
25.                         local rank = string.PatternSafe(v)
26.  
27.                         if (name:find("[%D+]"..rank.."[%D+]")) then
28.                                 return v
29.                         end
30.                 end
31.         end
32.        
33.                 function playerMeta:isCombineRank(rank)
34.                 if (type(rank) == "table") then
35.                         local name = self:Name()
36.  
37.                         for k, v in ipairs(rank) do
38.                                 local rank = string.PatternSafe(v)
39.  
40.                                 if (name:find("[%D+]"..rank.."[%D+]")) then
41.                                         return v
42.                                 end                            
43.                         end
44.  
45.                         return false
46.                 else
47.                         return self:getCombineRank() == rank
48.                 end
49.         end
50.        
51.         function playerMeta:getRank()
52.                 for k, v in ipairs(team.GetPlayers(FACTION_SONS_OF_DORN)) do
53.                         local techmarineRanks = string.Explode(",", nut.config.get("Techmarine"):gsub("%s", ""))
54.                         local name = string.PatternSafe(v:Name())
55.  
56.                         for k, v in ipairs(techmarineRanks) do
57.                                 if (name:find(v)) then
58.                                         return CLASS_TECHMARINE
59.                                 end
60.                         end
61.                         end
62.                         end
63.                         end

I modified this from the HL2RP schema for nutscript to try and work for my schema. Whenever I try to switch to the class when I have my name modified to "Techmarine, Test" and try /beclass Techmarine it says failed to become techmarine so I'm really not sure what I did wrong. Also this error pops up and I'm not sure how to fix it.

Please, use code=lua tags when posting code. It wraps your code in a nice box, and gives line numbers, which are important for the next part.
Though I'm likely no help with this code, providing the exact error your getting, all lines of it, will help anyone trying to help you.
It will also specify line numbers near the error.

Code: Lua

1. CLASS.name = "Techmarine"
2. CLASS.faction = FACTION_SONS_OF_DORN
3. CLASS.color = Color(180, 180, 180)
4. CLASS.loadout = {
5. }
6.  
7. CLASS_TECHMARINE = CLASS.index
8.  
9. if (SERVER) then
10.         -- Hook the 'charname' variable to change the class of a playing if the character's name
11.         -- contains '.RCT' inside.
12.         nut.char.HookVar("charname", "Techmarine", function(character)
13.                 local client = character.player
14.  
15.                 if (IsValid(client) and client:Team() == FACTION_SONS_OF_DORN and string.find(character:GetVar("charname"), "Techmarine")) then
16.                         client:SetCharClass(CLASS_TECHMARINE)
17.                 end
18.         end)
19. end

I've decided to try and use this instead but it isn't switching me to the class. Anyone have any ideas how to get it to work?

I don't see any syntax errors in your code. Unless someone uses Nutscript it's unlikely they'll be able to help you. I think it would be a good idea to post on Facepunch asking for help with this, as you're more likely to get help there simply due to the larger userbase. You might even get a reply from Chessnut himself.
