Then, use .Primary.AmmoType or .Secondary.AmmoType, depending on what AmmoType you want to get.

I think ip is a convar. You can use that?

Sure. Surprised you guys managed to dig that up.

This only works if you use the +ip command line option. Not everybody does.

OpenURL should work fine. Got example code?

What happens when you try to use OpenURL?

function OpenWarningDerma()

I get a blank page.

Gonna ask this again since I never got a reply but I would like to report the issue somewhere -

[img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/sound/PlayURL]sound.PlayURL[/url] doesn't work quite as it should.
Who can I report the issue to?

I've been trying to learn things about c++ modules and have come to a bit of a problem. I'm trying to call the concommand.Add function, but I'm unsure how to go about it.

LUA->GetField(-1, "concommand");
LUA->GetField(-1, "Add");
LUA->PushString("command");
LUA->PushCFunction(SomeFunc); // Do I use this here and pass a C function or do I use some other method?
LUA->Call(2, 0);

I used the example of math.abs from the tutorials, but I'm unsure if that's the correct way to add a command since it requires a function to be passed.

Is it possible to set a value inside an entity's GetSaveTable()?
Specifically m_bInReload?
I've done it like entity.m_bInReload = true but it doesn't seem to respond to that. It sets the value but when I check it using GetSaveTable, it hasn't changed.

Try this.

LUA->PushSpecial(GarrysMod::Lua::SPECIAL_GLOB);
	LUA->GetField(-1, "concommand");
	LUA->GetField(-1, "Add");
	LUA->PushString("command");
	LUA->PushCFunction(SomeFunc);
	LUA->Call(2, 0);
LUA->Pop(2); // Pop the concommand and global table.

The Call function pops all arguments and the function, so that leaves only the concommand and global table to be popped. Here's an example for SomeFunc.

int SomeFunc(lua_State* state)
{
	LUA->PushSpecial(GarrysMod::Lua::SPECIAL_GLOB);
		LUA->GetField(-1, "print");
		LUA->PushString("Hello!");
		LUA->Call(1, 0);
	LUA->Pop(); // Pop the global table.

	return 0;
}

This concommand would then print "Hello!" when ran.

Worked perfectly, thank you. I was missing the part about popping the extra stuff off.

what are the benefits of writing c++ modules?

[wauterboi]

[QUOTE=AnonTakesOver;47480546]what are the benefits of writing c++ modules?[/QUOTE]
More features that aren't available in Lua, or stronger modification of the Source code (afaik). I believe there was a module that handled net stuff a lot better and prevented players from accessing other people's IP's, but I could also be an idiot that doesn't remember stuff well.

Ok thanks

This one is more of a maths problem, I want to get the angle the player is looking at, but for some reason the Player:GetAimVector() isn't returning the values I need. What I'm trying to do is look at the sun painted in the skybox texture, get the aim angle, so I can plug in the values in hammer so I can place the light_environment and env_sun entities correctly.

Your better off just looking at BSP files to get the actual settings of the env_sun etc.
Not sure if it still works nowadays, but i think [url=http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php?p=45]this tool[/url] will let you look at the settings of map entities, if it doesnt, google around a bit for BSP decompilers/viewers, the file format is well known, so theres bound to be multiple apps for it.

[Suicidal_B]

Oh sorry then i misunderstood you, i thought u where trying to get the angle of the sunrays (wich can relate too the used skybox btw, but is something totally different) my bad.

It seems really unlikely this is what you're asking for, but are you just asking how to get the angles of where a player's looking? ([img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Entity/GetAngles]Entity:GetAngles[/url])

If not, you can get the angles of a vector with :Angle. ([img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Vector/Angle]Vector:Angle[/url])

Again, if this doesn't help, please explain further what you're trying to do, it's still a bit unclear.
