Death Notify

[iViscosity]

I'm trying to make a death notification thing for TTT and right now I have:

Code: Lua

1. function notifyDeath( victim, inflictor, attacker )
2.  
3.  
4.         if victim == attacker then
5.  
6.  
7.                 victim:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "You killed yourself. Good job." )
8.  
9.  
10.         elseif !attacker:IsPlayer() then
11.  
12.  
13.                 victim:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "You probably fell to your death." )
14.  
15.  
16.         elseif attacker:GetRole() == ROLE_TRAITOR then
17.  
18.  
19.                 ULib.tsayColor( victim, "You were killed by " .. Color( 255, 0, 0 ) .. attacker:Nick() .. Color( 255, 255, 255 ) .. " who was a " .. Color( 255, 0, 0 ) .. "Traitor!" )
20.  
21.  
22.         elseif attacker:getRole() == ROLE_INNOCENT then
23.  
24.  
25.                 ULib.tsayColor( victim, "You were killed by " .. Color( 0, 255, 0 ) .. attacker:Nick() .. Color( 255, 255, 255 ) .. " who was an " .. Color( 0, 255, 0 ) .. "Innocent!" )
26.  
27.  
28.         elseif attacker:getRole() == ROLE_DETECTIVE then
29.  
30.  
31.                 ULib.tsayColor( victim, "You were killed by " .. Color( 0, 0, 255 ) .. attacker:Nick() .. Color( 255, 255, 255 ) .. " who was a " .. Color( 0, 0, 255 ) .. "Detective!" )
32.  
33.  
34.         end
35.  
36.  
37. end
38. hook.Add( "PlayerDeath", "deathNotif", notifyDeath )

but it's not working... right now I have it in

Code: [Select]

garrysmod/addons/deathnotify/lua/autorun, is this the right place to put it or what? There were no errors in the console (neither client nor server) but I'm getting no message in the chat.


I've only tried killing myself as I didn't have anyone to test it on at the time..

While I can't say for certain what your issue is, you'll probably run into this in the future as an issue, so I'll point it out now:
You're concatenating Color values, not providing them in the arguments list that tsayColor expects (see ULib.tsayColor(ply, wait, ...)). Instead of using .. between strings and color values, use ,.

Ooooh, I'll try that out, thanks.




Alright, so I tried that


and again, nothing. So I tried maybe deathnotify/lua/ulx/autorun and put in that same code, again, didn't work. I'm not getting errors, it's just not showing up.



Any idea where I need to put it?

What folder do I put it in?

[dankpepe]

Try garrysmod/addons/whatever/lua/autorun/server

[JamminR]

ULib doesn't have an autorun folder, except to start ULib.
Place ulib code in a non ULib folder and you're likely to try to load it before ULib loads, which would cause errors in server and or game console about ULib function not being known.
You'll want /addons/<myaddon>/lua/ulib/modules/
See what_is_this.txt

Oh ok, I'll try it tomorrow.
