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

[zippy36jr]

How do i check if a player is visible on my screen, I have tried Entity:Visible(ent) but it just throws me an error saying [ERROR] lua/modmenu.lua:471: attempt to call method 'Visible' (a nil value)

EDIT: Never mind i found why this does not work, it is server sided code XD

[QUOTE=Robotboy655;49095657]Make sure you are up to date, that was already fixed.[/QUOTE]

As of right now, the issue still stands. Vehicle entities are returning null, even in the OnEntityCreated hook, which is where I previously setup datatables. I can no longer do that now since IsValid returns false on a vehicle.

Does anyone know the name of the table where DarkRP warrants/wanteds are stored? I cannot find it.

Theres no table.
There are functions:

What vehicles are you trying to use? Classnames, addon names, etc.

[Ndsbot]

Why dosen't render.MaterialOverrideByIndex force Material override when Bonemerging?

hook.Add("PostDrawOpaqueRenderables","testMaterialOverride",function()
	if not IsValid(ViewTestingModel) or not IsValid(ViewTestingModelParent) then // Setup Viewmodel
		SafeRemoveEntity(ViewTestingModel)
		SafeRemoveEntity(ViewTestingModelParent)
		ViewTestingModel = ClientsideModel("models/weapons/cstrike/c_rif_sg552.mdl")
		ViewTestingModel:SetPos(Entity(1):GetShootPos())
		ViewTestingModel:SetNoDraw(true)	
		ViewTestingModelParent = ClientsideModel("models/weapons/c_arms_chell.mdl")
		ViewTestingModelParent:SetPos(Entity(1):GetShootPos())
		ViewTestingModelParent:SetNoDraw(true)
		ViewTestingModelParent:SetSequence(2)
		ViewTestingModelParent:SetCycle(1)
		-- Apply Bonemerging
		ViewTestingModel:SetParent(ViewTestingModelParent)
		ViewTestingModel:AddEffects(EF_BONEMERGE) 
	end
	ViewTestingModelParent:SetRenderAngles(AngleRand()*0.01)

	-- ViewTestingModel:RemoveEffects(EF_BONEMERGE) 
	-- use to remove bonemerge, and see the material!

	ViewTestingModelParent:DrawModel()

	render.MaterialOverrideByIndex(1,Material("models/props_forest/sawmill_logs")) -- apply SubMaterial
	ViewTestingModel:DrawModel() -- Shows default Material
end)

While Bonemerge is active, the Material is not getting drawn.
But after the Bonemerge effect is removed, it is drawn.

Any ideas?

Best way of getting x and y coordinates of a player's death?

[MysteryPancake]

[QUOTE=McSniper12;49141072]Best way of getting x and y coordinates of a player's death?[/QUOTE]

Probably

hook.Add( 'PlayerDeath', 'GetXandY', function( victim, inflictor, attacker )
    local pos = victim:GetPos()
    local x, y = pos.x, pos.y
end

Now for another question-is there a way to rotate any type of panel, e.g. DFrames?

[QUOTE=Robotboy655;49138973]What vehicles are you trying to use? Classnames, addon names, etc.[/QUOTE]

TDM and LoneWolfies are the only addons that have anything to do with the vehicles. The others are just EPOE, dbugr, etc.

Function creating the vehicle:
[lua]function SetupVehicle(veh,pos,ang)
print("SetupVehicle","Step in")
if !VEHICLE_DATABASE[veh] then return false end
print("SetupVehicle","Vehicle exists")
local m = VEHICLE_DATABASE[veh].PaintJobs[1].model
local s = VEHICLE_DATABASE[veh].Script
local c = ents.Create('prop_vehicle_jeep')
print(m,s,c,veh,pos,ang)

c:SetModel(m)
c:SetKeyValue('vehiclescript','scripts/vehicles/'..s..'.txt')
c:PhysicsInit(SOLID_VPHYSICS)
c:SetUseType(SIMPLE_USE)
c:SetPos(pos)
c:SetAngles(ang)

c:Spawn()
c:Fire('lock','',0)

return c
end[/lua]

Print output of above function:

SetupVehicle Step in
SetupVehicle Vehicle exists
OEC Vehicle [NULL]
models/tdmcars/hon_civic97.mdl civic Vehicle [NULL] civic -5128.467285 -13398.031250 82.992577 0.000 0.000 0.000

The third line (OEC ...) is from this function:
[lua]local function SetupVehicleDataTables(veh)
print("OEC",veh)
if IsValid(veh) and veh:IsVehicle() then
print("Install DT")
veh:InstallDataTable()
veh.SetupDataTables = function()
print("Setup DT")
veh:NetworkVar("Bool",0,"Stolen")
veh:NetworkVar("Entity",0,"CarOwner")
veh:NetworkVar("String",0,"LicensePlate")
veh:NetworkVar("Int",0,"VehicleHealth")
veh:NetworkVar("Bool",0,"Disabled")
end
veh:SetupDataTables()
end
end
hook.Add("OnEntityCreated","SetupVehicleDataTables",SetupVehicleDataTables)[/lua]

The scripts, models, etc are all existing and valid, I should add. As well as this all working some time before the latest dev branch update that included the CreateParticleSystem functionalities.

I was wondering how would you make a custom lua animation?
is it by manipulating the bones?
And if you know any good example, it would be really awesome if you could link me it, thanks!

Ok, so it's a different problem, as it turns out, all vehicles are not vehicles until Spawn is called on them.

This is a problem because if I change IsValid back, it will return true if the vehicle object is invalid, and if you try to call any vehicle functions on such invalid vehicle, you will get a crash. ( Which is why it was changed in the first place )

I will spawn it first, and move all the function calls after that.

What do you recommend as far as the DTVar stuff goes? Would it be possible to have a hook for entities actually being spawned rather than created in the future? (The hook as it is right now is convenient since it's shared and the spawn function is not. But if worse comes to worse, I can make my own hook for it.)

Is there a way to determine if a player is typing in a text field i.e. the chat box?

I want to use input.IsKeyDown(SOME_KEY) but it registers the key down when the player types in text field's.

The second argument of vgui.Create is where the vgui element is going to be located. (I what element it will be)

Get the vehicles in the sphere, then for each vehicle, check the location of their bones/attachements, and see if the distance from the position of the bone/attachment to the center of your FindInSphere is less than the distance you used?
