Problems That Don't Need Their Own Thread v3.0

[JasonMan]

Oh you're using Pointshop2.
Well if it's anything like Pointshop, ITEM:OnEquip is ran everytime the player respawns, meaning it'll do it every time.
If not just call a HasItem check on a PlayerSpawn hook

I've got a question. I want to change the vehicle system in Garry's Mod to be able to boost the vehicle in ways similar to how it's done in Rocket League (hopping, rolling, rocketing forward, boosting toward the ball, etc...). I'd like to incorporate it directly into the vehicle class rather than creating some work around - currently my setup makes clients send their button press events to the server before boosting can be done, which doesn't work with the prediction system and creates a noticeable lag.

[url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/VehicleMove[/url]

It seems that prediction for vehicles is something already being done, so if I could figure out a way to incorporate Rocket League style boosting directly into it's class by overriding... [I]something[/I]... then I believe this would allow the prediction system to work with it. The question is, would this even work and how exactly would I go about doing this?

[DEL]Also, another question, how would I add a network variable to a vehicle? Like, say, the vehicle's fuel levels.[/DEL]

[Mr. Bix]

fairly simple question:

anyone know how to layer sequences on scripted entities?

i'm trying to whip up my own tf2 buildings but i can't get the firing sequences on the sentry to work right and it's doing my head in

ent:SetSequence() applies the sequence improperly (as it's meant to be layered on) and ent:RestartGesture() appears to be completely broken

[QUOTE=NiandraLades;48850926]How would I add a delay to this so the menu doesn't tend to reopen when you try to close it? I noticed the wiki says that stuff like input.WasKeyPressed is only used for move hooks and this is giving me a little trouble

I know it's something with CurTime(), but I'm not sure what the structure of it is

hook.Add("Think", "menukey", function()
	if input.IsKeyDown(key) and not open then
		OpenMenu()
		open = true
	elseif input.IsKeyDown(key) and open then
		CloseMenu()
		open = false
	end
end)

local pizzatime = CurTime()
local pizzadooropen = false -- yes im hungry ty

local pizzastatus = false

local function togglepizzastatus()
	
	pizzastatus = not pizzastatus
	
	if(pizzastatus) then
		print("PIZZATIME")
	else
		print("no pizza Q__Q")

end

Why would a concommand work fine in console but when you bind it to a key it doesn't work? I've tried multiple keys with no luck...

just FYI, togglepanel works absolutely perfect when I use console but whichever key I bind it to does nothing...really weird.

function togglemypanel ()
	if 		PanelTable.base:IsVisible(true)
				then
			PanelTable.base:Hide()
	else
			PanelTable.base:Show()
			end		
end


concommand.Add("togglepanel",togglemypanel) 

edit MakePopup was screwing things up....I removed it but now Panel:SetMouseInputEnabled( true) doesn't have any effect and I can't access any of the panel items without a mouse

Edit: reporting back after solving. Use gui.EnableClicker instead

[ForrestMarkX]

Currently having a strange issue involving KeyValues, an ent I define that is spawned by the map has certain keyvalues set that I want to check but everytime I do even though the value is present when calling it outside KeyValue returns nil. Here is the code I have

function ENT:KeyValue( key, value )
	key = string.lower(key)
	if key == "nodename" then
		self.nodeName = value
	end
end

function ENT:GetSpawnNode()
	local pNodeEnt = ents.FindByName(self.nodeName)[1]
	
	if IsValid(pNodeEnt) then
		return pNodeEnt
	else
		return nil
	end
end

Basically what this system is doing is building a hierarchy of nodes the nodeName in the parent will be the name of the child and the while loop works down the list until the last node doesn't have a nodeName in which it'll return nil and break the while loop

Here is the while loop

local node = ents.FindByName(self.nodeName)[1]
while IsValid(node) do
	table.insert(nodePoints, node)
	node = node:GetSpawnNode()
end

Hey guys.
How would I create a randomizing system based on values in tables?

Example: 100 has a higher chance to be the output as 10

[QUOTE=deinemudda32;48863794]Hey guys.

Maybe have higher values more then once in the table?

[deinemudda32]

I dont understand what you're talking about.

[JasonMan]

[QUOTE=deinemudda32;48864296]I dont understand what you're talking about.[/QUOTE]

He says do somthing like this: [lua] local tbl = {
100,
100,
100,
10
}[/lua]
Now 100 has a 75% chance to be picked, whereas 10 has a 25% chance.
That's not recommended tho.
I'd suggest giving each value a key which will be the chance of getting picked, e.g. [lua]local tbl = {
75 = 100,
25 = 10,
}[/lua]
Now you can do math.Random( 1, 100 ) and convert the number into the key of the table.

[deinemudda32]

Yea, but that'll drop the performance if the table is too big.
I already tried that.

I personally use NW for variables that won't be changed, and will only be ran once (e.g. check a player's time on the server (utime) on a PlayerAuthed hook).
But if I want to store someone's kill count, I'd use ply.kills
"var = var + 1" is a lot easier than redefining a NWInt

I don't see you resetting your color before calling draw poly.

[ExtReMLapin]

So i added "draw.NoTexture()" before each draw poly call.

Strange, because it only turn to shit (see screenshit) sometimes, not everytime. When using other stencils or spawning weird props.

Edit :

Adding draw.NoTexture() fuckup the colors.

I don't know if by "reset color" you meant draw.NoTexture(), i never had to reset color tbh :v:

How it looks when not using others stencils/weird props :
[T]http://puu.sh/kEd7s/8c818bf542.jpg[/T]

[Rubat]

In what world by reading the word "color" you immediately think of "material/texture"?

But yeah, you should also reset the texture. You must reset them at least once per your drawing function.

Okay so im making a ent based addon, it basically works by putting two ents together and it makes a new ent. How can i make it that once 10 ents have been made, a player can't create anymore untill someone collects their ent (Clicks e after 5 minutes) or if it gets destroyed(Health reaches 0)

[MaximLaHaxim]

Okay, I'm a little confused as to how I'd do this. It's probably really simple but I can't really think of it right now.

Alright, so let's say I have a weapon in my inventory that has a value "SWEP.WepType = WEP_PRIMARY"

Now, in the PlayerCanPickupWeapon hook, how would I make it so that if the player has a weapon with the SWEP.WepType = WEP_PRIMARY variable value and the weapon they want to pick up has that same value, they couldn't pick the weapon up? It's resulting a mindfuck on my part right now, I can't think :tired:

[AK to Spray]

[QUOTE=MaximLaHaxim;48867045]Okay, I'm a little confused as to how I'd do this. It's probably really simple but I can't really think of it right now.

Alright, so let's say I have a weapon in my inventory that has a value "SWEP.WepType = WEP_PRIMARY"

Now, in the PlayerCanPickupWeapon hook, how would I make it so that if the player has a weapon with the SWEP.WepType = WEP_PRIMARY variable value and the weapon they want to pick up has that same value, they couldn't pick the weapon up? It's resulting a mindfuck on my part right now, I can't think :tired:[/QUOTE]

Something like this?

hook.Add('PlayerCanPickupWeapon', 'SlotRestriction', function(ply, wep)
	for _, v in pairs(ply:GetWeapons()) do
		if v.WepType == wep.WepType then
			return false
		end
	end
end)

If this is for a gamemode, just use the GM:* function instead of hook.Add.

Seriously shouldn't need its own thread...

I'm trying to make my character invisible to others (and his weapons)

When I use any iteration of SetColor or SetWeapon color, it works but my weapons are GONE. I try cycling through them but when I respawn (that's the function command) my weapons are gone. (i had a camera so i verified I was invisible)

function GM:PlayerSpawn( ply )
 ply:SetColor( Vector( 0, 0, 1 ) )
ply:SetRenderMode(RENDERMODE_TRANSALPHA)

end
