+zoom

[swinginman]

So in zombie survival, when you use +zoom it allows you to phase through props. But there is an issue of props on top of ladders. If you press your +zoom bind before you get on the ladder, it works. But I want to make it so you can press it while on the ladder. I know for a fact this is possible, for I played on a server that accomplished it. Does anyone know where to start?

I'm a lua noob, so these are just some link to things:

[url]http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/index8173.html[/url]

"MOVETYPE_LADDER = 9 -- For players, when moving on a ladder."

Below is not real code, but how I start to figure this out:

if (pl:Alive() && (all the other valid checks you want) && key == +zoom && MOVETYPE_LADDER ) then

cycle through your prop code

end

1. I used GMAD Extractor to extract all the files within zombie_survival_105462463.gma after subscribing to it.
2. I used Agent Ransack to search within all the files for the word "zoom".
3. I see "In_ZOOM" in the init.lua, so I opened it up in Notepad++
4. I found:

function GM:KeyPress(pl, key)
	if key == IN_USE then
		if pl:Team() == TEAM_HUMAN and pl:Alive() then
			if pl:IsCarrying() then
				pl.status_human_holding:Remove()
			else
				self:TryHumanPickup(pl, pl:TraceLine(64).Entity)
			end
		end
	elseif key == IN_SPEED then
		if pl:Alive() then
			if pl:Team() == TEAM_HUMAN then
				pl:DispatchAltUse()
			elseif pl:Team() == TEAM_UNDEAD then
				pl:CallZombieFunction("AltUse")
			end
		end
	elseif key == IN_ZOOM then
		if pl:Team() == TEAM_HUMAN and pl:Alive() and pl:IsOnGround() and not self.ZombieEscape then --and pl:GetGroundEntity():IsWorld() then
			pl:SetBarricadeGhosting(true)
		end
	end
end

5. Like I said, I'm a noob, so I don't know if this is the right approach.

I think the pl:IsOnGround() is returning false if you're on a ladder. You can get rid of that but I'm not sure if that will have any negative impacts or not.

Replace
pl:IsOnGround()
with
(pl:IsOnGround() or pl:GetMoveType()==MOVETYPE_LADDER)

Should work.

Thank you very much
The pl:IsOnGround() or pl:GetMoveType()==MOVETYPE_LADDER did not work, but removing pl:IsOnGround() worked beautifully.
Thanks

And now you can bunnyhop through the props for maximum abuse. Try using the brackets like he posted.

[swinginman]

You wanna elaborate? I cant see how being able to suite zoom in the air results in bunny hopping ._.
When I used the pl:IsOnGround() or pl:GetMoveType()==MOVETYPE_LADDER it worked, but the first time you suit zoom through a prop, you get a strange error isn't coming from the gamemode.
And the with the extra ()'s it just doesn't looks right.

if pl:Team() == TEAM_HUMAN and pl:Alive() and (pl:IsOnGround() or pl:GetMoveType()==MOVETYPE_LADDER) and not self.ZombieEscape then

Why?^
