I'm trying to write an inventory system, but the problem is when a person walks over an item, it is either automatically used (health, armor) or automatically equipped (weapons).
I would like to overwrite this function so that it is only used on certain conditions.
Already there's a condition set so that if a player is at full health, they wont pick up the health.. but I don't know if I can access it.
If I can't write a script to replace the current system, is there at least a function that will allow me to detect if a player had picked up an item? I'll have to.. take it from them.. and put it in the inventory... or something...
But before I make a messy function like that, is it possible to overwrite them?
Edit:
Kind of answering my own question a little, found this [B][URL="http://[URL=%22http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Gamemode.HUDItemPickedUp%22"]wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Gamemode.HUDItemPickedUp[/URL][/B]

These are very simple entities, if I were you I would just remake them in lua with your own conditions.
Ok, so just make my own entities. Yeah, that makes sense. Now I gotta figure out how to do that :)
Thanks
For reference, everything in lua is overwritable in some way. If an entity has a function Think, you can overwrite that by saying ent.Think = MyEntThink. As for overriding hooks, simply name it the same unique name as the original unique name of the hook. The system will overwrite the old.

True, but note that this is only valid for scripted entities. You can't overwrite a npc_zombie's TakeDamage function.
Yes, I forgot to mention that.
