Quick, Incredibly stupid, Question

[Banshee Friend]

Where can I find "Lua/entities/npc_turret_floor.lua" ?
What GCF or file?
I want to use it as a base for a new npc.

That's not a file that comes with GMod.

[Banshee Friend]

i know, is it in source content.gcf or halflife2.gcf or episode one.gcf?

>Implying all Source engine NPC's are coded in Lua and not C++

[Banshee Friend]

how do I get it in text format? can you post it here so i can paste it into a Lua file or something?

Haha, oh wow.

Good one OP, I havent had a laugh like that in a while. Oh wait, you're serious o_o

Not that I'm a whiz on C++ in any manner, but the NPC you're looking for is part of the Source engine. Source engine is coded in C++ and so is its contents, like the NPC. C++ is compiled and then ran to out put the given results of the code.

You cant take one language (Especially a hardcoded one like C++) and then paste it into a Lua file (A completely different language that doesnt have all of the Source funcitons included..) and then magically make it work.

What you CAN do is take one of the many turret NPC's from Garrysmod.org and use that as a base.

But thanks anyways OP, had a good laugh.

I was just there looking and all of them seem to use the same class: npc_turret_floor.

OP == Original Poster.
In this thread, it is you.

and if you want to make a turret, then try messing around with another person's code to see how it works, then write your own. Do NOT copy/paste without giving credit to the original author.

It's coded in C++.
Here it is, straight from the orangebox SDK.

thank you, also @Copperbotte i'm using valve's origional code to create a new one by modifying it.

edit: I expected something with a list of

ENT.Model = 
ENT.health = 100000
ENT.Alerted = false

and ENT. things.

[Namaste]

Banshee. Since you clearly cannot read. Valve does not, and never has used Lua to code anything. Garry's Mod, created by Garry Newman, not Valve, inserted a Lua engine into the source engine, again in C++. Therefore, your asking for us to pull something out of thin air that doesn't exist. There is no Valve made .lua file, that will give you a floor turret. As said by everyone in here, go to [url]www.garrysmod.org[/url], and download one and change it to how you like.

Note. The code you posted, is in Lua, not C++ which once again would have to be a user generated file, not a Valve made one.

Please stop being stupid.

Good god I hate you.

LUA AND C++ ARE TWO DIFFERENT LANGUAGES.

You cant just edit the C++ that Copperbotte posted and put it in a Lua file, please dear sweet jesus, either stop trolling or start reading.

I never posted anything.
He is probably wanting to make a NPC base for his custom NPC, then use Lua to implement it.
Unfortunately, this will not work, because you cannot edit the source code.
you are stuck using Lua for this project.
