So the answer is yes, someone will probably be able to help you

Press 'F4' to be one again!"); -- eg: Aliens (blue) p:SprintEnable () p:AddFrags(1) else p:SetTeam( TEAM_BLUE ) p:Kill( ) p:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK,"you don't want to be in the Blue team? Press 'F4' to be one again!"); -- eg: Predator(red) p:SprintDisable () p:AddFrags(1) end end self.BaseClass:KeyPress(p, key) end Edit: this might also be where the teams problem comes from but i dont think so CODE TEAM_RED = 1 TEAM_BLUE = 2 team.SetUp(TEAM_RED, "Red Team", Color(255, 0, 0, 255)) -- RED TEAM, It appear in scores team.SetUp(TEAM_BLUE, "Blue Team", Color(0, 0, 255, 255)) -- BLUE TEAM, It appear in scores This post has been edited by A208: 19 May, 2009 - 03:05 PM

New D.I.C Head Joined: 19 May, 2009 Posts: 5 My Contributions	yes i think they are still in scope but i just thought it might be better if the 3rd code is in init.lua with the 1st code lol right now the 3rd part is in shared.lua but my friend gave me an idea what if i change CODE TEAM_RED = 1 TEAM_BLUE = 2 team.SetUp(TEAM_RED, "Red Team", Color(255, 0, 0, 255)) -- RED TEAM, It appear in scores team.SetUp(TEAM_BLUE, "Blue Team", Color(0, 0, 255, 255)) -- BLUE TEAM, It appear in scores to CODE TEAM_RED = 1 TEAM_BLUE = 2 team.SetUp(1, "Red Team", Color(255, 0, 0, 255)) -- RED TEAM, It appear in scores team.SetUp(2, "Blue Team", Color(0, 0, 255, 255)) -- BLUE TEAM, It appear in scores i changed the team.setup(team_red to 1 which is team red as you can see that might be better but i have no clue if it will work any comments on that idea?? maybe it might fix my prob but for now i cant test as once again i am at school This post has been edited by A208: 20 May, 2009 - 08:56 AM

Isn't there a wiki or knowledge base on it somewhere? Yes there is but really it is the most usless "Help" site i have ever seen to tell you the truth i think how garrys set up garrysmod to use its scripts is stupid as hell and look this is how it tells you to do it for teams which this is exactly how i did it (with some modification of corse) CODE function GM:CreateTeams() if ( !self.TeamBased ) then return end TEAM_USSR = 1 team.SetUp( TEAM_USSR, "USSR/Russia", Color( 255, 0, 0, 255 ) ) team.SetSpawnPoint( TEAM_USSR, "info_player_terrorist" ) TEAM_USA = 2 team.SetUp( TEAM_USA, "USA", Color( 0, 0, 255, 255 ) ) team.SetSpawnPoint( TEAM_USA, "info_player_counterterrorist" ) end Edit: Omg im so stupid i never called the function for createteams..its always those stupid little things that mess me up This post has been edited by A208: 20 May, 2009 - 03:42 PM
