ENT:(Set/Get)NWVector Does not seem to stanfer data cl-sv

[dvd_video]

Hello,

As i was Coding my New Sent I used the functions in question here:

[url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Entity/SetNWVector[/url]
[url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Entity/GetNWVector[/url]

My code is as follows:

-- SERVER

function TOOL:Think()
  if(CLIENT) then return false end
  Tr = self:GetOwner():GetEyeTrace()
  if(not Tr) then return end
  trEnt = Tr.Entity
  if(not trEnt or not
         trEnt:IsValid() or
         trEnt:GetClass() ~= "gmod_magnetdipole")
  then return end
  print("SetNWVector: "..tostring(trEnt.MagData.SVec).." !")
  trEnt:SetNWVector("magnetdipole_svec_dir", trEnt.MagData.SVec)
  trEnt:SetNWVector("magnetdipole_nvec_dir", trEnt.MagData.NVec)
  return true
end

function TOOL:DrawHUD()
  if(SERVER) then return false end
  Tr = self:GetOwner():GetEyeTrace()
  if(not Tr) then return end
  trEnt = Tr.Entity
  if(not trEnt or not trEnt:IsValid()) then return end
  local SPos = Vector()
  local NPos = Vector()
  if(trEnt:GetClass() == "gmod_magnetdipole") then
    local Length = tonumber(self:GetClientInfo("length")) or 0
    local Ang    = trEnt:GetAngles()
    local SDir   = trEnt:GetNWVector("magnetdipole_svec_dir",Vector(0,0,0))
    print("GetNWVector: "..tostring(SDir).." !")
   
    --- The rest is not important ( using this this data in surface.Draw ... )

In the console I have like so ( something else ~= Vector(0,0,1) ):

SetNWVector: 0.000000 0.000001 1.000000 !     --- Data is read from the server correctly, but is it stored correctly ?
GetNWVector: 0.159599 -0.048604 -0.954226 !  --- Get gives Crappy data, not nil (  Vector(0,0,0) ) Read correctly or incorrectly 
SetNWVector: 0.000000 0.000001 1.000000 !
GetNWVector: -0.271833 -0.102626 -0.924097 !
GetNWVector: -0.647282 -0.142769 -0.706416 !
SetNWVector: 0.000000 0.000001 1.000000 !
GetNWVector: -0.890651 -0.160897 -0.345303 !
SetNWVector: 0.000000 0.000001 1.000000 !
GetNWVector: -0.952609 -0.153335 0.086048 !
GetNWVector: -0.820600 -0.121617 0.500206 !
SetNWVector: 0.000000 0.000001 1.000000 !

It's not supposed to.

I'm still trying to figure out whats going on here D:

[Rubat]

Nice title. It's not supposed to transfer data cl -> sv, but it seems you are doing the proper way, sv -> cl.

[dvd_video]

Yes exactly what i thought !

[G4MB!T]

I thought as much, but if he is doing it the right way why is he getting weird behaviour?

[Rubat]

Try testing with something that is not a vector.

[G4MB!T]

You could try 3 ints i guess.

The strange thing is on my other Addons it works flawlessly:

With Vector and Float

Should it be because of stepping over sample times ?

function ENT:Think()
  local NextTime = CurTime() + 0.02
  local Phys     = self:GetPhysicsObject()
  
  if(Phys:IsValid() and self.MagData.On) then
    
    self.MagData.Centre:Set(self:LocalToWorld(self:OBBCenter()))
    self.MagData.SPos:Set(vPosPlusVecMulNum(self.MagData.Centre,
                                            self.MagData.SVec,
                                            self.MagData.Length / 2) )
    self.MagData.NPos:Set(vPosPlusVecMulNum(self.MagData.Centre,
                                            self.MagData.NVec,
                                            self.MagData.Length / 2) )
    if(WireLib) then
      WireLib.TriggerOutput(self,"eMagnet",self)
    end
  end
  self:NextThink(NextTime)
  return true
end

But i doubt that ....

Transferring 3 floats instead of a vector works perfectly !
