Alpha color player

[godred2]

Hi, FacePunch.
Again I ask at you for help.
It is a script doesn't work correctly.
The player doesn't become transparent.

local function skinalfa( ply )
        ply:SetPlayercolor( Color( 0, 17, 255, 100 ):ToVector( ) );
end
		
hook.Add( "PlayerSetModel", "skinalfa", skinalfa );

p.s mcd1992 - Dumb

You have to set their render mode, add this to your code:

[lua]
ply:SetRenderMode( RENDERMODE_TRANSALPHA )
[/lua]

As seen here: [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Enums/RENDERMODE"]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Enums/RENDERMODE[/URL]

Also, I think you want to use ply:SetColor instead of ply:SetPlayer[b]C[/b]olor, since the latter doesn't affect transparency.

[godred2]

local function skinalfa( ply )
        ply:SetColor( Color( 0, 17, 255, 100 ) );


ply:SetRenderMode( RENDERMODE_TRANSALPHA )

end
		
hook.Add( "PlayerSetModel", "skinalfa", skinalfa );

Doesnt work. =(

(SetPlayerColor .. not SetPlayercolor) btw

But that is not how SetPlayerColor works (I think).
SetPlayercolor sets the mask color of the player-texture (r,g,b)
SetColor draws the material (r,g,b,a)
So you need todo:

ply:SetRenderMode( RENDERMODE_TRANSALPHA )
ply:SetColor(Color(255,255,255,<Any alpha>))

It doesn't work

I found a problem: The matter is that it works in the SandBox mode. A in the ZombieSurvival mode - doesn't work. How to correct?

Something in ZombieSurvival is setting the player's color after you are. Add the code inside the hook into a timer with a really small delay (eg, 0.1 ).

local _time = "0.1"; --Protection in seconds for the human

local function skinalfa( ply )
timer.Simple( _time, function()
ply:PS_Notify( "Защита выключена!" )
ply:PS_Notify( "Защита выключена!" )
ply:SetRenderMode( RENDERMODE_TRANSALPHA )
ply:SetColor(Color(255,255,255,50))
end)
end
		
hook.Add( "PlayerSetModel", "skinalfa", skinalfa );

Doesn't work in ZombieSurvial

timer.Simple doesn't take a string as the first argument.

I tried it and with digit

What's the error?

[godred2]

[QUOTE=James xX;47526509]What's the error?[/QUOTE]

There are no errors

[James]

[QUOTE=godred2;47526519]There are no errors[/QUOTE]

Have you tried increasing the delay?

[godred2]

[QUOTE=James xX;47526536]Have you tried increasing the delay?[/QUOTE]

Yes

[James]

[QUOTE=godred2;47526562]Yes[/QUOTE]

It's possible that ZombieSurvival is setting the playercolor in a think hook. If you send me the source code I can look through the code and tell you what you need to change.

[Nak]

local alpha = 50 -- 0-255
hook.Add("PrePlayerDraw","Potatos",function(ply)
        render.SetBlend(alpha/255) -- 0-1
end)
hook.Add("PostPlayerDraw","PotatosPost",function(ply)
        render.SetBlend(1)
end)

If that doesn't work .. then idk what will.

Have you tried the post above's solution first?

[VortexZ]

Have you tried not using [B];[/B] in [B]gLua[/B]

[James]

[QUOTE=VortexZ;47531325]Have you tried not using [B];[/B] in [B]gLua[/B][/QUOTE]

Semi-colons don't do anything in gLua apart from separate statements. To explain the dumb rating: You bolded gLua as if it was obvious that semi-colons cause errors, which isn't the case.

[VortexZ]

Okay Sorry about that. Didn't read previous posts

[godred2]

Doesn't work

local alpha = 50 -- 0-255
hook.Add("PrePlayerDraw","Potatos",function(ply)
        render.SetBlend(alpha/255) -- 0-1
end)
hook.Add("PostPlayerDraw","PotatosPost",function(ply)
        render.SetBlend(1)
end)

Because the gamemode overrides it

1358: function GM:_PrePlayerDraw(pl)

You have to edit the zombiesurvival/gamemode/cl_init.lua to mess with the blend/alpha
