Utime -- Show how long your players have been connected this session and total

[TeoTown]

I'm very nooby with Lua. :c

I'm trying to add this to give the players experience points by how long they have played. I made a DarkRP chat command to check the total time but it appears as zero.

Code: [Select]

local function CheckTime(ply)
ply:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK,"[UTime] You have played on the server for: " .. ply:GetNWInt("TotalUTime") .. ".")
return ""
end
AddChatCommand("/time", CheckTime)
Is ply:GetNWInt("TotalUTime") wrong?

[TweaK]

I think ply:GetUTimeTotalTime() is what you're looking for.

Will there be a working release of this for GMod 13?

Is it not already working?

It spams my console and the blue box in the corner is white and doesn't show any text. Serverside stuff is probably working though.

I don't even get a box, no errors in rcon or console.. nothing.

Spams the server with

[ERROR] addons/utime/lua/autorun/cl_utime.lua:138: attempt to index global 'utilx' (a nil value)
  1. unknown - addons/utime/lua/autorun/cl_utime.lua:138

[Stickly Man!]

This is on our radar-- we'll get around to it as soon as we have the time.

Serverside part already works, here's a fixed cl_utime.lua for now until an official update.

Thanks you kindly, we'll put these changes up on GitHub in the near future...

I get this in console but it works.

Code: [Select]

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, when I add this to my addons, and apply the cl_utime fix mentioned above, it doesn't even recognize the addon.

Code: [Select]

Don't forget to rename info.txt to addon.txt

Silly me, I got it working by just adding the .lua files to the modules folder of ULX anywho. Thanks.

[Megiddo]

Official fix is now on GitHub. It's mostly unmodified from what TweaK had, though. Thanks, TweaK!
