Is it possible to check if a certain convar is bound to any key?

Why do my ironsights sort of... stutter... at high ping?

	ft = math.Clamp(ft,0,1/30)

	self.LastSys2 = SysTime()

	local isrv = self:GetIronSights() and 1 or 0

-long code-

[/QUOTE]

My guess is that you're not using CurTime (which is predicted, while SysTime isn't)

[QUOTE=MaximLaHaxim;49204385]My guess is that you're not using CurTime (which is predicted, while SysTime isn't)[/QUOTE]

Wouldn't using CurTime() make it worse as SysTime would progress normally clientside regardless of server activity or lag?

[QUOTE=TFA;49204516]Wouldn't using CurTime() make it worse as SysTime would progress normally clientside regardless of server activity or lag?[/QUOTE]

Have you tried using FrameTime() instead?

Can you show all the code? Or at least all ironsights related code

I'm trying to make the pot with mud inside, what i currently have just looks like someone has taken a massive shit inside a plant pot,

Could i make a better effect with stencils some how? ( less turd like )

Why not make the model fill the entire pot? Like put a flat circle instead of the ground and then add some variation in height.

Does anyone know how to run 2 Garry's Mod windows at the same time? I've heard that it can be done, but I'm still skeptical.

Start hl2.exe with the following parameters:"-multirun -steam -window".

I'm not sure why, but RunConsoleCommand gets called even when the usergroup of the player does not meet the usergroups said below.
Could anyone help?
[lua]
if ply:GetUserGroup("user") or
ply:GetUserGroup("member") or
ply:GetUserGroup("vip") or
ply:GetUserGroup("vip+") then
RunConsoleCommand("ulx", "adduserid", ply:SteamID(), "vip++")
end
[/lua]

You can't do it that way, because [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Player/GetUserGroup"]Player:GetUserGroup[/URL] only returns the User Group.

Example for [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Player/GetUserGroup"]Player:GetUserGroup[/URL]:
[lua]if (ply:GetUserGroup() == "groupname") then
-- Code
end[/lua]

I'd use a table for what you are doing:
[lua]local groupTable = {
"user",
"member",
"vip",
"vip+"
}

if (table.HasValue(groupTable, ply:GetUserGroup())) then
RunConsoleCommand("ulx", "adduserid", ply:SteamID(), "vip++")
end[/lua]

Oh okay, thank you very much guys.

I'm planning to show a text over a player's head.
I never did that before. Can anybody tell me which functions could be useful?

[QUOTE=Goodroid;49209376]Start hl2.exe with the following parameters:"-multirun -steam -window".[/QUOTE]

Well, I tried that. I used a .bat file and used a shortcut. It kept saying:

[t]http://i.imgur.com/xQ1mG1k.png[/t]

Obviously this is because of -steam, but with the Steam launch parameters clicking on "Play" will just maximise the Garry's Mod window.

New problem. I have a textured rectangle, whose texture is a circle with a transparent background. A regular circle. I am using stencils to mask drawing of a rectangle onto this circle, however the stencils only mask to the rectangular edges of my DrawTexturedRect, rather than to the texture itself. Is there a way around this?

[PortalGod]

no, you have to use a poly

I really am not understanding docking. Anyone have a crash course in this? VGUI stuff has always been miserable for me. I'm making a serious attempt now at learning this but docks never seem to do what I want them to, and they always seem to be picking their own incorrect sizes.

I was under the impression that docking was supposed to make resizable layouts much easier to work with so we didn't have to implement our own scaling methods for everything..

Docking to some sides makes your panel smaller, but if you do Panel:SetSize on it after you've docked it, you can make it larger again.

Also, if you need more sides to dock to, E.G. top-left, then you can just create a new DPanel or something like that, run Dock(LEFT) on it and then parent your other panel to it and do Dock(TOP).

My timer doesn't get removed after it's done so nothing happens

BTW how do I remove the number after a number slide?

I'm trying to get the amount of staff online but I can't seem to do it because staffOn always returns 0, any help would be appreciated.
Here is my current code:

[lua]
local ulxRanks = {"moderator", "vipmoderator", "admin", "headadmin", "superadmin"}

function getStaff()
for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
if table.HasValue(ulxRanks,v.GetUserGroup()) then
staffOn = staffOn + 1
end
end
end[/lua]
