How to make something constantly happen.

[Iskuri]

Hi, I am making a SENT that lets you fly around the map. I was wondering how I would constantly keep applyforcecenter updating, I tried ENT:Think but only does it about every second. This probably sounds like a dumb question but I am an idiot. Also I was wondering if there was a way to use applyforceoffset to reach a desired angle. Thanks.

ENT:Think runs multiple times a second (About 60 AFAIK), post the code so we can help you.

Here is what I have on this computer, I have heavily modified what is here now but here is basically it:

 function ENT:Think()
if(driver:IsValid()) then
 	if (driver:KeyDown(IN_ATTACK2)) then
	local clk = not clk
	end

 if (clk == true) then
 veh:SetAngle(Angle(0,yaw,0))
 veh:SetPos(p)
 
	local driver = veh.GetDriver())
	if (driver:KeyDown(IN_FORWARD)) then
	p = p+veh:GetForward()
	end
	
	if (driver:KeyDown(IN_RUN)) then
	local p = p+veh:GetForward()*10
	end
	
	if (driver:KeyDown(IN_BACK)) then
	local p = p-veh:GetForward()
	end
	
	if (driver:KeyDown(IN_MOVELEFT)) then
	local yaw = yaw+1
	end
	
	if (driver:KeyDown(IN_MOVERIGHT)) then
	local yaw = yaw-1
	end

	if (driver:KeyDown(IN_JUMP)) then
	local p = p+Vector(0,0,1)
	end
	
	if (driver:KeyDown(IN_ALT1)) then
	local p = p-Vector(0,0,1)
	end

 else 
 
 local p = veh:GetPos()+Vector(0,0,30)
 local yaw = veh:GetAngles():y
 
 end
 end
end

If you're using ENT:Think() correctly then it should run every frame or something. We would probably need to see the context in which you are using it.

[Iskuri]

OK, I will upload the entire code when I get home. Could I please have some help with the getting the entity to the right angle as well?

It should be commonly known by now that a Think hook and ENT:Think() run at different speeds.

Shut up CptFuzzies. Stop abusing the fact that you know marginally more than a person completely new to Lua.

Iskuri, what you want to use in this case is a physics think hook.

Thank you very much, Rambo. I am indeed a complete noob, so thanks for helping me know slightly more. :D

This is an earlier version, iRzilla, but thanks for taking an interest. I have got everything working now so thank you all.

I know you hate boxes but now you're just asking for them.
