ulx module/ulx help

[lampman13]

i thought it was in the developers corner and i know that it does but i only have one comma and it i suppoesed to be there but i even tryed to remove the comma so i could test it and it didnt work but i got it to work on client but not on a server for some reason and it is in addon format

[lynx]

Remove the string concatinator (..) after the comma, and GetText is a function value so it needs to have (). So:

Code: [Select]

chat.AddText( Color( 0, 255, 0 ), "(ADMIN)", Color( 0, 255, 0 ), ..TextEntry:GetText )
Should be:

Code: [Select]

chat.AddText( Color( 0, 255, 0 ), "(ADMIN)", Color( 0, 255, 0 ), TextEntry:GetText() )

Derma (textentry, etc) is all clientside. As is chat.AddText. If you want it to be distributed to clients, you need to either set up a net message (suggested) or a usermessage.

Net messages:

Send the text to the server (net.SendToServer) then process it to the clients you want (RecipientFilter) then send it back to the clients using a second net message, which the receive function would then process using chat.AddText

so my whole code wont work?

[lynx]

It will, you just need to modify it to allow for talk between the client and the server.

You can also use something such as ULib.tsay.
