Is there a way to change the lighting origin of an entity created using ClientsideModel?

I'm doing stencil work and the things I'm drawing are outside of the map, so light can't reach them. At the very least, is there a way to make a dynamic light that only lights them up? I tried render.SetLocalModelLight and that gave me weird results.

My code for reading a json .txt file ain;t working like it should.
It spawns the object's but all in one pos.
Code:
[lua]function GM:InitPostEntity()
local read = file.Read( "simplerpg/" .. string.lower( game.GetMap() ) .. "_json.txt", "DATA" )
local config = util.JSONToTable( read )
for k,v in pairs( config ) do
if v[1] then
for c,d in pairs( v ) do
if k == "point_base_cops" then
function spawnentity()
local ent = ents.Create( k )
ent:SetPos( d )
ent:Spawn()
end
timer.Simple( 5, function() spawnentity() end )
end
end
end
end
end[/lua]
The Json File
[lua]{"point_base_cops":{"1":"[5.530015 -555.378906 -146.891373]","2":"[-2.144687 -350.373993 -146.890488]","3":"[95.893425 17.936914 -146.888580]","4":"[366.544434 358.352081 -146.902420]","5":"[775.693481 445.117218 -142.890366]"}}[/lua]

This is more of a general programming question but whatever

I want an image to move up until it hits a certain point then move back down to its original location

This is what I have so far, but it just shakes back and fore, which is not what I want:

image.Think = function()
		print(image.y)
		if image.y < 5 and image.y > 0 then
			image.y = image.y - 1
		else
			image.y = image + 1
		end
	end

What would be the logic/maths behind moving it how I'd like?

Use panel move

Not really what I meant. I'm suppressing engine lighting, but I want to use the lighting functions (SetModelLighting and such) to fake the light that should be coming in from outside. The problem is that every functions I use still gives that fullbright feel, and it doesn't look at all natural.

function rb655_FixModelLighting( ent, pos )

	render.SuppressEngineLighting( true )
	render.SetLightingOrigin( pos )

	local colAmbientLight = render.GetLightColor( pos )
	render.ResetModelLighting( colAmbientLight.x, colAmbientLight.y, colAmbientLight.z )

	ent:DrawModel()

	render.SuppressEngineLighting( false )

end

Here's what I used for a SENT that suffered from similar or same problem. It isn't perfect, but it's something at least.

How does ents.FindInBox() work?

Although it doesn't need another, here is a quick description. Anything within the lower corner of a box to the opposite upper corner of that box will be put into a table and given to you. By anything I mean entities like players, props, and cars.

hey i have seen that darkrp use global config strings/numbers with config.darkrp.moneyrp or something like that how do i make that i would like to have a config file with
global strings/numbers i can take in any file

example

from darkrp

// this is rp money default
config.darkrp.defaultmoney = 100
// auto kicked when joining
config.darkrp.autokick = true
// bal bla bla
config.darkrp.bla = "Hello"

I don't really know anything about DarkRP, but considering [URL="https://github.com/FPtje/DarkRP/blob/master/gamemode/config/config.lua"]this file[/URL] calls all the variables something like

GM.Config.Whatever

without actually defining GM, so I think you could just do

GM.Config.variable = value

in any old Lua file(?)

One of your scripts maybe

I mean, when will this error shows up? What's LuaCMD in this context?

Nevermind solved

Is there a way to detect the "pre-load" state, like when map is about to change? Because gui.HideGameUI() called in PreDrawHUD() hook hides the loading screen

The input to ply:SendLua or BroadcastLua is an empty string

Thanks, that is explaining the problem.

What do you mean with "the object"?

I'm guessing he means the prop a player is holding with the physgun.

If you are talking about that then these should help.

I mean with the E key

Edit:

Basically I want my SWEPs to properly holster and then +use after the animation is done

There is no built-in function that I know of to do this, so instead look into [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/AllowPlayerPickup]GM/AllowPlayerPickup[/url] and have it set a variable on the player retaining the entity they picked up.
Then use [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Global/DropEntityIfHeld]Global.DropEntityIfHeld[/url] on the entity with a check to make sure the player holding it is the owner of the gun.

Does anyone know of a way to draw a 3D2D panel with a HTML texture on it?
Been searching for a way to make one but can't find anything.
Thanks! :smile:
