@Magiddo Sorry I didn't notice your post, using csay solved the problem without having to go the SendLua route!

Completed code:

--- Code: ---function ShowKiller(victim,inflictor,killer)
  if killer:IsPlayer() then
    ULib.csay(victim, "You were been killed by "..killer:Nick()..". A "..killer:GetRoleString().."!")
  elseif not killer:IsPlayer() then
    ULib.csay(victim, "CLUMSY!")
  end
end
hook.Add("PlayerDeath","killer name and roll",ShowKiller)
--- End code ---
This will now tell a player who killed them, and what their role was in a TTT game!

I haven't done any intense testing yet, but the bug mentioned above seems to have been solved.

Thanks everyone, learned a lot on this first simple project, I'll keep all my noob questions in this thread when they come up, anyone else is welcome to use this thread, too.

Is it possible to target a game function, remove it, then replace it with your own edited version added as an addon in the addon's folder?

I took a look at the sui_scoreboard and it looks to be doing something like this, but I don't fully understand it. I think its a lot more in-depth because that is a complete scoreboard overhaul, when I'm looking to modify just one part of it.

Basically, what I've done is I edited one part of the default scoreboard by adding a new row to player_row.lua. After some trial and error I got it working nicely, but I would rather not have to re-edit the game file every time I update gmod.

An Error Has Occurred!
