Changing player speed with Lua

[Blitzoreo]

I'm trying to find a lua script (that is, I can simply type lua_openscript) that makes me able to change player speed. Walk speed to 120 and run speed to 240. What must I do for that? Also, any reversing to it?

And in case you know how, how can I make it so jumping doesn't make any "boost"? I'm tired of seeing bunnyhopping in scary maps.

Player:SetWalkSpeed( int ) and Player:SetRunSpeed( int )

[Blitzoreo]

Doesn't work, when I run it I get this lua error;
[ERROR] lua/speed.lua:1: attempt to index global 'Player' (a function value)
1. unknown - lua/speed.lua:1

This is what I put on the lua script if it matters;
Player:SetWalkSpeed( 120 )
Player:SetRunSpeed( 240 )

You have to provide a proper player variable in a function or hook. You can't just outright set the player's speed

[Blitzoreo]

Then how do I make it so it affects everyone? Even people that just got in the server?

[c👌de_g🎷]

Put it in a PlayerInitialSpawn hook. Alternatively, you could use player classes.

[Blitzoreo]

Player class? How? I forgot to say that I know nothing about lua, not sure if that matters though.

[QUOTE=Blitzoreo;47838344]Player class? How? I forgot to say that I know nothing about lua, not sure if that matters though.[/QUOTE]

[lua]
hook.Add("PlayerInitialSpawn", "nice unique name here", function(ply)
ply:MethodHere(arguments_here)
end)
[/lua]

[Blitzoreo]

Like this?

hook.Add("PlayerInitialSpawn", "speedchange", function(ply) 
    ply:SetWalkSpeed(120)
	ply:SetRunSpeed(240) 
 end)

It doesn't work. I get no lua error but it still doesn't do anything to speed. It still remains at 200 and 400.

[c👌de_g🎷]

You're putting that in autorun/server, right?

[Blitzoreo]

No, I'm just making a "Speed.lua" file in the garrysmod/lua folder and just run it on console ("lua_openscript Speed.lua").

I just want this Lua script to be manual, not automatic.

[c👌de_g🎷]

Then it will only start applying to people who first join the server.

[Blitzoreo]

I remember being able to make a lua script in which ALL players that were in the server had their speed changed and couldn't be reset when they die. How do I do that? Any full script about it?

[c👌de_g🎷]

Use player.GetAll() in a loop

[Blitzoreo]

I put this code

local Players = player.GetAll()
for i = 1, table.Count(Players) do
    local ply = Players[i]
	ply:SetWalkSpeed(120)
	ply:SetRunSpeed(240)
	ply:SetJumpPower(150)
end

It works nice, but when a player respawns he gets back to "normal speed" (200 and 400), how can I avoid that?

Also, is there any way to remove "Jump Speed"? I mean, with jump power it should be okay, but there's still the way how when a player jumps while running forward will give him like a triple speed boost.

[QUOTE=Blitzoreo;47855336]I put this code

local Players = player.GetAll()
for i = 1, table.Count(Players) do
    local ply = Players[i]
	ply:SetWalkSpeed(120)
	ply:SetRunSpeed(240)
	ply:SetJumpPower(150)
end

And it works perfectly. Thanks for the help.

Although, is there any way to remove "Jump Speed"? I mean, with jump power it should be okay, but there's still the way how when a player jumps while running forward will give him like a triple speed boost.[/QUOTE]

Try adding in an anti-bhop script.

[Blitzoreo]

What do you mean by that? The "Velocity Killer" that is on Gmod workshop?

Also, I edited my post after that.

Even if I put

hook.Add("PlayerInitialSpawn", "speedchange", function(ply) 
    ply:SetWalkSpeed(120)
	ply:SetRunSpeed(240) 
 end)

into autorun/server, it doesn't work.

That means something else is setting the player speed. For a *hacky* fix, put it in a 5 second timer.

[Blitzoreo]

Can't I put a "Think" function/hook in here?

local Players = player.GetAll()
for i = 1, table.Count(Players) do
    local ply = Players[i]
	ply:SetWalkSpeed(120)
	ply:SetRunSpeed(240)
	ply:SetJumpPower(150)
end

So it constantly activates it on every tick or so? I just don't know how, that's what I'd like to know.

[c👌de_g🎷]

No. That's useless and inefficient.

GOD! Please take a look at the official gmod lua wiki!
[lua]
hook.Add("PlayerSpawn", "Gayfagfunctionhookofallpenissuckingmonsters", function(ply) -- playerspawn hook(important!)
timer.Simple(1, function() -- timer for overwriting other shit scripts which sets walk,run speed and jump power :(
if ply:IsValid() -- HAHA i Used ply:IsValid() thats totally out of date |||||| IsValid(x) is the new x:IsValid() <3333333
ply:SetWalkSpeed(500000) -- high
ply:SetRunSpeed(5000000000) -- super high
ply:SetJumpPower(100) -- really low
end -- men this took like 2 minutes :(
end) -- another end(this looks sooo messed up, but nvm!!)
end) -- an end with a ")" awsm
-- every player who spawns gets high speed and if they run more high speed (change the speed var else youll never see anyone again on youre server) Well I should sell it on scriptfodder as "dynamic player speed changement without vgui (good performance,yay) (first day sale)". :P
[/lua]

on TTT this wont work, as TTT resets playerspeed everytime you zoom with a weapon :)

if you use TTT and want a ugly method so this is something for you!

[lua]
hook.Add("PlayerSpawn", "Gayfagfunctionhookofallpenissuckingmonsters", function(ply) -- playerspawn hook(important!)
timer.Create("Imgayandthatscool_", ply:UniqueID(), 0.3, 0, function()
if IsValid(ply) then -- is player still here
ply:SetWalkSpeed(500000) -- high
ply:SetRunSpeed(5000000000) -- super high
ply:SetJumpPower(100) -- really low
end -- another end yay
end) -- end again!
end) -- an end with a ")" awsm

hook.Add("PlayerDeath", "timerfuckyou;death", function(ply) death fuck
fuckyoutimer(ply) fucky
end

hook.Add("PlayerDisconnected", "timerfuckyou;death", function(ply) disconnect fuck
fuckyoutimer(ply) -- fuuuuuk you ....
end

function fuckyoutimer(ply)
timer.Remove("Imgayandthatscool_", ply:UniqueID()) -- YOU SHOULD GO AWAY, I said fuck off TIMER!!!
end
[/lua]

This doesnt work for 70% :D, just paste lua error here.

[Blitzoreo]

[ERROR] lua/whogivesafuck.lua:11: '=' expected near 'fuck'
  1. unknown - lua/whogivesafuck.lua:0

and the first lua script gives;

[ERROR] lua/speedactionistic.lua:4: 'then' expected near 'ply'
  1. unknown - lua/speedactionistic.lua:0

Apparently forgot a "then" right in the end of "ply:IsValid()". I tried it though, and it works great. Thank you.

[deinemudda32]

goes to lua/autorun/server

Yea i forgot a "then"
The 2nd script, I forgot a "--" before "fucky..
