Set player speed Has no effect.

[GaleTheHusky]

Ok, so im running a server, and want to set players speed. I have written a script, and it autoexecs when the server starts.

function playerSetSpeed(ply)
 
	GAMEMODE:SetPlayerSpeed(ply, 160, 240)
        player:SetWalkSpeed( 160 )
        player:SetRunSpeed( 240 )
end
 
hook.Add( "PlayerSpawn", "playerSetSpeedtest", playerSetSpeed )

I even -basically- ran the speed command twice to make doubly sure it did work, but still does not. To troubleshoot, i did run the script manually, kill myself, and it says it launches with no error, but still does not work. I suspect it is a mod I have installed, maybe Customisable weaponry mod? but I haven't found anything signifying player speed anywhere in the scripts.

Please help with this, i -really- want to get my server into beta.

EDIT: NOPE, not Customisable weaponry mod. just backed up, then deleted the mod. Reset the server, and still the same sh*t :/

If you're creating a gamemode change the [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Player_Classes]Player_Classes[/url].

As for why your code isn't working you should learn how lua [url=http://www.lua.org/pil/5.html]functions[/url] work and their arguments. Look at the difference between your ply argument and the player argument you're trying to use. Player is a class already defined by garrysmod itself, hence why its not error-ing.

Yeah, I was just looking at that. Thank you for the quick response! First in a while, for sure.

This is rediculous. I've went into the config, set the run and walk speed. I've edited the player_class.lua to set the runspeed, even went into the shared.lua gamemode file and put this in:

function GM:PlayerSpawn( pl )

	player_manager.SetPlayerClass( pl, "player_darkrp" )
        pl.WalkSpeed 			        = 1
        pl.RunSpeed				= 50


	BaseClass.PlayerSpawn( self, pl )
	
end

Obviously those numbers are excessively low.

I seriously need help on why this isn't working. I've spent 3 hours wondering why this i'snt working. I've even edited the BASE and Sandbox gamemode player_class.lua files, and still nothing.

I saw in some other thread you made that you were trying to do this in DarkRP, if that's the case here, look at DarkRP/gamemode/config.lua on lines 207, 209, and 231. Pretty sure this could be interfering with whatever you're trying to set when the player spawns, but I could be completely wrong.

207 | GM.Config.runspeed = 240
209 | GM.Config.runspeedcp = 255
231 | GM.Config.walkspeed = 160

Already set it. didn't budge.

Im looking around my addons, to see if there is an addon doing this.

Just tried deleting all of the files I set the runspeed in, and edited the CFG again, nothing -.-

Well, I've found an addon that allows me to set the runspeed and walkspeed among other things in console (which i much prefer anyway.). I haven't tested it yet, we will see if it works.

Have you tried sticking a timer in it? That's solved many of my problems, and I had a similar problem with Mr-Gash's Deathrun.
I think calling it a few seconds later allows it to override all of the sets the game mode files do after PlayerSpawn and PlayerLoadout and such.

Who knows, maybe it'll work, maybe it won't.

function playerSetSpeed(ply)

timer.Simple(2, function()
 
	GAMEMODE:SetPlayerSpeed(ply, 160, 240)
        player:SetWalkSpeed( 160 )
        player:SetRunSpeed( 240 )
end)
end

hook.Add( "PlayerSpawn", "playerSetSpeedtest", playerSetSpeed )
