Car mod for server

[vincenzoluke]

hey i have made a car mod for my server but the client has to have the actual addon even tho they download the modles and stuff to be able to spawn a car, they can see the cars and drive them tho is there a way to let them spawn the car?

[commander204]

If I understand right: PPl can see, use but NOT spawn them? Any errors?

[vincenzoluke]

no errors but what i am saying is how do i script it so people dont need to download th carpack off my website to use it.

[Mandalore777]

resource.AddFile is your friend.

[vincenzoluke]

i used that for everything in the folder and it downloads to client but the clients still cant spawn cara with out the car addon
vent mab can do it i dont se why i cant!!!! starting to piss me off!

the resource.lua goes to Lua>Autorun>Server in your servers FTP.

Make it "sbox_maxvehicles 1" or something.

I have and u can spawn cars if u have the pack read befor posting!

You need to "add" the cars clientside too. There is a lua script which defines which cars to add. Make the clients execute it with AddCSLuaFile and be happy.
For example

local Category = "blablabal vehicles"

local V = { 	
	-- snip crap
	}

list.Set( "Vehicles", "HelloVehicle", V )

if SERVER then AddCSLuaFile("autorun/vehicles.lua") end -- basically just add this with correct lua and dance.

ok thanks but were do i put this autorun/client or autorun

 local Category = "enzos cars"

local V = { 	
	-- snip crap
	}

list.Set( "Vehicles", "enzos cars", V )

if SERVER then AddCSLuaFile("autorun/shitscript.lua") end 

would this be correct?

[Python1320]

You put it in autorun not client or server. But in your case you shouldn't need to put anything anywhere.
And actually, I meant you need to find a file there where reads something like
list.Set( "Vehicles", "enzos cars", V )
And if that file is in autorun/client or autorun/server move it to autorun.

And to that file, add
if SERVER then AddCSLuaFile("autorun/whateverthenameis.lua") end
to the beginning or end or somewhere between in the file. You need to naturally change the file name in AddCSLuaFile.
