Hud indicator

[quotable]

Hud indicator doesn't work it shows some text in console and I will copy it later today here.

[InfectiousFight]

It's been broken since I first started using Wiremod in August, and it doesn't look like anyone will ever fix. Bad luck, man.

[-Gamah]

I've used it dozens of times since august.... please post console dump.

It says:

entities/gmod_wire_hudindicator/cl_init.lua:167: bad argument #1 to 'GetTextSize' (string expected, got nil)

Apparently ther are no definitoin of the text size in the script, i think it would be easy to fix.

If you need further info here's the script that's wrong:

local function HUDFormatDescription( eindex )
// This is placed here so we don't have to update
// the description more often than is necessary
local indinfo = hudindicators[eindex]
if (indinfo.ShowValue == 0) then // No Value
hudindicators[eindex].FullText = indinfo.Description
elseif (indinfo.ShowValue == 1) then // Percent
hudindicators[eindex].FullText = indinfo.Description.." ("..string.format("%.1f", ((indinfo.Factor or 0) * 100)).."%)"
elseif (indinfo.ShowValue == 2) then // Value
// Round to up to 2 places
hudindicators[eindex].FullText = indinfo.Description.." ("..string.format("%g", math.Round((indinfo.Value or 0) * 100) / 100)..")"
end

// Do any extra processing for certain HUD styles
// so we aren't calculating this every frame
surface.SetFont("Default")
local textwidth, _ = surface.GetTextSize(hudindicators[eindex].FullText) <---- THIS IS APPARENTLY WRONG

if (indinfo.Style == 1) then // Gradient
local ent = ents.GetByIndex(eindex)
if (ent && ent:IsValid()) then
local r, g, b, _ = ent:GetColor()
hudindicators[eindex].DisplayColor = Color(r, g, b, 160)

local textcolor = Color(255, 255, 255, 255)
if (r >= 192 && g >= 192 && b >= 192) then
// Draw dark text for very bright Indicator colors
textcolor = Color(32, 32, 32, 255)
end

hudindicators[eindex].TextColor = textcolor
end
elseif (indinfo.Style == 2) then // Percent Bar
local pbarwidth = math.max(textwidth + 16, 100) // The extra 16 pixels is a "buffer" to make it look better
hudindicators[eindex].BoxWidth = pbarwidth
hudindicators[eindex].W1 = math.floor((indinfo.Factor or 0) * pbarwidth)
hudindicators[eindex].W2 = math.ceil(pbarwidth - hudindicators[eindex].W1)
elseif (indinfo.Style == 3) then // Full Circle Gauge
local ang = math.rad(math.fmod((indinfo.Factor or 0) * 360 + (indinfo.FullCircleAngle or 0), 360))
hudindicators[eindex].LineX = math.cos(ang) * 32
hudindicators[eindex].LineY = math.sin(ang) * 32
hudindicators[eindex].BoxWidth = math.max(textwidth + 16, 80)
elseif (indinfo.Style == 4) then // Semi-Circle Gauge
local ang = math.rad((indinfo.Factor or 0) * 180 + 180)
hudindicators[eindex].LineX = math.cos(ang) * 32
hudindicators[eindex].LineY = math.sin(ang) * 32
hudindicators[eindex].BoxWidth = math.max(textwidth + 16, 80)
end
end

// Function to ensure that the respective table index is created before any elements are added or modified
// The HUDIndicatorRegister umsg is *supposed* to arrive (and be processed) before all the others,
// but for some reason (probably net lag or whatever) it isn&#39;t (TheApathetic)
local function CheckHITableElement(eindex)
if (!hudindicators[eindex]) then
hudindicators[eindex] = {}
end
end

Oh you made it first. I have samekind console text I c/p it directly from console

[CapsAdmin]

I&#39;m getting that error as well sometimes. It works if I just load the default preset and remake it.

It rarely works for me, same error, but randomly it DOES work, like on LAN servers (when a friend copies my gmod folder and uses it on the server since I am the only one who knows how to make everything work)
