Gmod lua help (pro lua coders only please)

[MrPlonker]

I don't like to steal people's time and I am quite new here but I was wondering if I could get some help in GLua...I have made a chair gun of some sort that you can load and shoot chairs although I want to make it so that I can right click and have a menu which pops up and gives you a list of props to shoot with, only 4 reloads each.

Please don't refer me to coderhire as I am a stingy fuck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your time!

So, you basically want us to make you a thing?

That's not how this place works.

Not at all...just a lead in the right direction...

[boxama]

Take a look at these: [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/VGUI/Elements/DIconLayout]DIconLayout[/url], [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/VGUI/Elements/SpawnIcon]SpawnIcon[/url], and [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/VGUI/Elements/DScrollPanel]DScrollPanel[/url], pick the ones you think are most applicable in your situation.
You'd have to make some table to store how many of each you've fired, and change which prop is active when any item is clicked.

[Rubat]

I am not pro enough to reply with code. :(

[MrPlonker]

This isn't a Michael McIntyre show. Just a bit of friendly help lol...

[Mitsudigi]

You've got more than enough help already. Beyond that we'd be writing it for you.

If you try to use the advice given and are still having problems then show your code and tell us what's wrong with it.

^ is this guy even a pro lua coder?

Yes he is actually he coded many successful servers including the "hunger games" gamemode on Garrys Mod. Very skilled and I have been apart of his community for about a year now. Still doesn't get boring as he does frequent updates to all servers. Come check us out at [url]www.420servers.com[/url]

Thanks for the help everyone!

Not 420 servers :suicide: I've read their code; it's all just stolen code mashed together into messy file organizations. All of the functions come straight from the wiki too and there's no defined style. Half of the code uses non-lua operators, semi-colons, and many other things; while the other half doesn't. Just a suggestion, clean up the code and that'll fix up the major lag issues.

Also, it's called 420 servers.

Please get off the internet. It's a game who gives a fuck? Stop whining.

[JetBoom]

You give enough of a fuck to give your game server's plug in this thread.

[c👌de_g🎷]

[QUOTE=MrPlonker;43576743]Please get off the internet. It's a game who gives a fuck? Stop whining.[/QUOTE]

Then don't advertise your crappy server then. "Stop whining."

I was poking fun at your title. Good advice is good advice, regardless of who it comes from. Also please don't try and plug your server to me. This isn't the time nor the place.

[QUOTE=code_gs;43572931]You definitely aren't.[/QUOTE]

Did I say I was? It was poking fun at the OP's title. Damn.

[MrPlonker]

People are mean :,(

[arcaneex]

And you posted this trying to achieve what? Sympathy? I doubt you'll get that here, after advertising your servers after making requests, but no not just regular request like other users do you wanted THE 'pro lua coder' to do it for you and you even failed to fill in a simple table that matt gave you.

Just leave.

Hey Callmepyro, I know you're immature and can't handle criticism but you can stop spamming me with dumb ratings.

[Flapadar]

I always laugh when someone here asks for a "pro lua coder"

[ENG.jonny]

I lol'd at the title.

[MrPlonker]

haters g0n hate

[ENG.jonny]

I'm not "hatin", I'm just "lol'ing"

[Netheous]

Why are people still replying to this thread?
Report his posts and move on...

I apologize. It was late and I was in a bad mood. I removed all the ratings.

[MrPlonker]

When people rate me dumb, I feel self-conscious about myself :(

[MrPlonker]

More dumb pls I kind of like the hate!
