Medic Entity + weapon

[Dwatring]

Hey FP! I need someone to make me a quick entity. Its an entity for my new gamemode. The entity would heal all players within a radius over time, maybe 5HP per second? This entity can only heal players on the same team as the person who placed it. That would be awesome!

I also have another request. I need a SWEP to go along with that entity that spawns the entity as a model and freezes it on spawn. One last thing, a person may only have one at a time!

That would be so awesome! Thanks in advance Facepunch!

It might be worth your trouble to either learn lua or get a job. You have like 30 posts in the requests section from the past 2 weeks.

I do need to learn lua. I need so many small things done, but can never do them myself.

Then read the pil, and the tutorials.

Nothing says it's wrong posting 30 posts the last 2 weeks. Why not try helping him instead?

[lua]
function ENT:Initialize()
timer.Create("HealPlayers",1,0,self.HealPlayers,self)
end
function ENT:HealPlayers()
for _,ply in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
if (self:GetPos():Distance(ply:GetPos()) <= 256) and (ply:Team() == self.Owner:Team()) then
ply:SetHealth(math.Clamp(ply:Health() + 5, 0, 100))
end
end
end
[/lua]

util.FindEntityInSphere would be also useful for that, but Garry didn't add this in Gmod.

ents.FindInSphere?

This would be shared.lua for the entity? Can you also make a weapon that deploys this?

It's serverside code. If you're limited to one file, put this into "if SERVER then" block.

Weapon code:
[lua]
function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()
for _,hkit in pairs(ents.FindByClass("Insert medkit classname here")) do
if hkit.Owner == self.Owner then return end
end
local canspawn = util.TraceLine({
start = self.Owner:GetPos() + Vector(0,0,16);
endpos = self.Owner:GetPos() + (self.Owner:GetForward()*32) + Vector(0,0,16);
filter = self.Owner}
if canspawn.Hit then return end
local newkit = ents.Create("Insert medkit classname here")
newkit:SetPos(self.Owner:GetPos() + self.Owner:GetForward()*32 + Vector(0,0,16)
newkit:SetAngles(0,self.Owner:GetAngles().y,0)
newkit:Spawn()
newkit:SetMoveType(MOVETYPE_NONE)
end
[/lua]
