Player Classes and Addon Integration to Gamemodes?

[MarcusOy]

Hi there!
Question 1: I was wondering on how to make player classes (such as Assault, Sniper, etc.) How could I do this?
Question 2: How do you make it so if you download a gamemode and it comes with maps and addons?
Thanks,
MarcusOy

Please define what you mean by downloading a gamemode with maps and addons?

There are several things you have to do aside from just creating the classes. You'll need to actually EXECUTE them.

On function GM:PlayerSpawn( Player ) you need to add something like this:
[lua]
player_manager.SetPlayerClass( Player, "player_acecool_dev" )

player_manager.OnPlayerSpawn( Player )
player_manager.RunClass( Player, "Spawn" )[/lua]

You need to modify it for each class you do. If you want to set it up so different teams are different classes you can make an array and index them that way.

Here's the default player class which can be found in garrysmod/gamemodes/base/gamemode/player_class/player_default.lua
[lua]
AddCSLuaFile()

include( 'taunt_camera.lua' )

local PLAYER = {}

PLAYER.DisplayName = "Default Class"

PLAYER.WalkSpeed = 400 -- How fast to move when not running
PLAYER.RunSpeed = 600 -- How fast to move when running
PLAYER.CrouchedWalkSpeed = 0.3 -- Multiply move speed by this when crouching
PLAYER.DuckSpeed = 0.3 -- How fast to go from not ducking, to ducking
PLAYER.UnDuckSpeed = 0.3 -- How fast to go from ducking, to not ducking
PLAYER.JumpPower = 200 -- How powerful our jump should be
PLAYER.CanUseFlashlight = true -- Can we use the flashlight
PLAYER.MaxHealth = 100 -- Max health we can have
PLAYER.StartHealth = 100 -- How much health we start with
PLAYER.StartArmor = 0 -- How much armour we start with
PLAYER.DropWeaponOnDie = false -- Do we drop our weapon when we die
PLAYER.TeammateNoCollide = true -- Do we collide with teammates or run straight through them
PLAYER.AvoidPlayers = true -- Automatically swerves around other players
PLAYER.UseVMHands = true -- Uses viewmodel hands

Here's a modified player class called player_acecool_dev. You can see what you can adjust inside. I left default functions within.

Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong as I haven't yet uploaded to the Workshop, but I'm assuming ( remember assumptions are the basis of all failure ) that the creator included them maps in the package when they uploaded it.
