Other GetClass Function?

It seems to be a very needed function that is lacked in the framework. I might be wrong but I can't find a function that gets a class by a player variable? I would have thought at this point it would be included. I need something like player:GetFaction();

 

From what I've found, this is how you'd get a player's class:

Code:

local class = Clockwork.class:FindByID(player:Team());

Change 'player' if needed, and you'd use 'class' however you'd want to use it (e.g. class.limit would give you that particular class' limit). I looked over how CW's classes work and they're stored on a player's team which is built into GMod, see here:

edit: "FindById" should've been "FindByID" in my code sample, I've corrected it.

 

I see. I have tested this on the cl_hooks file in the schema. This error comes up despite it being a shared function in sh_class.lua?

Code:

[Clockwork:HL2 RP]
The 'ScoreboardAdjustPlayerInfo' hook has failed to run.
gamemodes/cwhl2rp/schema/cl_hooks.lua:350: attempt to call method 'FindById' (a nil value)

 

Can you paste the code that you tested?

 

I tested it again on the serverside and it said it was nil again.

Code:

-- Called just after a player spawns.
function Schema:PostPlayerSpawn(player, lightSpawn, changeClass, firstSpawn)
    local class = Clockwork.class:FindById(player:Team());

    print(class);
end;

Code:

[Clockwork:HL2 RP]
The 'PostPlayerSpawn' hook has failed to run.
gamemodes/cwhl2rp/schema/sv_hooks.lua:1646: attempt to call method 'FindById' (a nil value)

 

It's FindByID, not FindById

 

Ah, clever eye. I figured I was wrong as usual but I was lazy and C+P'd lol

 

Thanks for pointing that out, I've corrected my code sample.
