Set Player Run Speed

[Johnoo]

On player spawn I set the run speed, however the run speed never changes in-game. Keep in mind this is a mod so the original on spawn hook is also running. So I assume that mine is being run before the original and therefore when the original hook sets the run speed it over writes my mod's speed.

So how do I fix? :P

I've tried using GAMEMODE:SetPlayerSpeed and ply:SetRunSpeed (both PlayerSpawn event) and while they work when they're called normally, they don't work on the spawn event.

The best work around I can think of is setting some value to true, then in a think hook detect if said value is true then change the walk speed from there. But I feel like that'd be very inefficient and generally shit. (Yes, the mod needs to be completely external from the gamemode itself)

function GM:PlayerSpawn( ply )
      ply:SetRunSpeed( x )
end

That's what I did, but it doesn't work

Are you running it in a gamemode or a script?

EDIT

function PlayerSpawn( ply )
       ply:SetRunSpeed( x )
end

Try that ^

[Johnoo]

Just a script in the addon's folder (the gamemode is DarkRP)

[QUOTE=CGHippo;49131953]

function PlayerSpawn( ply )
       ply:SetRunSpeed( x )
end

Try that ^[/QUOTE]

And I tested that and it didn't work :(

[NiandraLades]

Are you actually using a number instead of x

Do it as a hook instead

Add print statements before and after to see where the error lies

[Johnoo]

hook.Add( "PlayerSpawn", "On Player Spawn", function( ply )
    print("Test")	
    ply:SetRunSpeed(1000)
    print("Test2")
end)

^If I do that, I get Test and Test2 in console, but my run speed stays the same

Any ideas on how to fix?

It might be gmod/lua not liking huge numbers - Try something smaller like 100 or 300

[Johnoo]

Doesn't work either :S

[lua]
hook.Add( "PlayerSpawn", "On Player Spawn", function( ply )
timer.Simple(0.1, function()
if !IsValid(ply) then return end
ply:SetWalkSpeed(600)
ply:SetRunSpeed(1000)
end)
end)
[/lua]

This, if it doesnt work either try changing it from PlayerSpawn to PlayerLoadout or increasing the amount of time in the timer to 1-3 seconds.

That seems to work, thanks you legends ;)
