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

[Blazer232]

I'm attempting to make a SWEP that uses VElements to put a laser dot in the center of the screen. When I aim down the ironsights on the weapon, the dot appears out of place to the left of the weapon, and I'd like to make it so that when I aim down the sights, it hides the dot. How would I go about doing this?

What is VElements?

[QUOTE=Cheese_3;49467393]Im using Mr.Gash's Deathrun gamemode, How do i change the max BHop speed from 500 to 1500[/QUOTE]

You'll have to increase the max speed/move speed. BHopping speed is a Source engine thing.

Simple question, how would I make a horizontal list? So, rather than have a dscrollpanel that scrolls vertically (when I use a dlistlayout) how would I make that horizontal?

[QUOTE=code_gs;49468504]What is VElements?[/QUOTE]

allows for the addition of models to the view model without having to put them in using a modeling program.

This code won't work for some reason

for _,repo in pairs(CommitGrab.Repos) do
    http.Fetch("https://api.github.com/repos/"..repo.."/commits",
    function(body)
        CommitGrab.Data[repo] = util.JSONToTable(body)
        CommitGrab.LatestCommit[repo] = CommitGrab.Data[repo][1]
    end,
    function(err)
        MsgC(Color(100,200,100),"[CommitGrab] ",color_white,"Error getting data: "..err.."(repo: "..repo..")")
    end)
end

It's not making a table in the table or even throwing http error.

I have changed the max speed to 1500, changed the run speed to 1500 but they still can't get over 500-600

Also in addition to my other problem, does anyone know how to do FFT for voice?

Is this from some addon?

[cpone]

[QUOTE=code_gs;49473086]Is this from some addon?[/QUOTE] I believe he is talking about the Swep Construction Kit that was created by Clavus. Link:[URL="https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=109724869"]https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=109724869[/URL]

[Blazer232]

yes, swep construction kit allows the user to attach models to the client's view model. you can then copy/paste the code it gives you into the shared.lua file for the swep and it will appear on the view model.

Being plagued with CUtlLinkedList overflow! (exhausted index range) (65535)

I've made sure on all of my particles finish is being called correctly, this only seems to be triggered on certain maps with 60+ players.

I've tried Matts fix here: [url]https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1350845[/url] however It's just causing errors
[lua]Tried to use invalid object (type CLuaEmitter) (Object was NULL or not of the right type)[/lua]

It was apparently also fixed in a gmod update? The only thing we use is custom models and trails (util.SpriteTrail)

It happens when you create too many entities in general. Try removing some addons and seeing what could be creating things in excess.

[img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/http/Fetch]http.Fetch[/url] says that the first function should have 4 variables, yours has one. I don't remember what happens in lua if you pass a function too many arguments, so this might not be an issue.

Try printing 'success' and 'failure' in each function to verify that it's actually calling one of them.

[editline]7th January 2016[/editline]
I just tested, and as zerf says it works fine if you pass more arguments than the function accepts. The only other thing I can think of is that CommitGrab.Repos is empty. Try printing before the fetch in the loop to verify that the table is populated.

The entity count is only around 1000 at max, we don't run any addons but pointshop.

I bought [URL="https://scriptfodder.com/scripts/view/1167"]LimbHUDLite [/URL]and it works great but in console it seems to be spamming [URL="https://i.gyazo.com/de6a46c1fd1ab67578ab291c53b67aea.png"]this message[/URL]. The addon creator insists that his addon is not the cause of this spam.
How can i stop this spam ?

[MysteryPancake]

That doesn't look like an error? Probably best to contact the author

Anyway, here's a simple question - how can I get an entity's center as a vector without using OBBCenter or any of that OBB stuff? Actually, nevermind

Edit: Actually I guess maybe its not the addon, I just google netlog wrote to table and there was a lot of stuff about it happening (specifically on darkrp) so my guess is that table is just written to a lot and darkrp prints stuff like that to console? I don't really know might wanna look more into itt yourself and look it up.

How can I get the 'direction' a user is clicking on a DModelPanel? I tried doing

local direction = DModelPanel:GetCamPos() + gui.ScreenToVector( gui.MousePos() )

But this just returns a vector equal to the camera's position plus a little due to the mouse part, but I need it to be further away, not pressed up to the camera as it is, I'm kind of looking for a version of [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Player/GetAimVector"]GetAimVector[/URL] that works for DModelPanels, if that makes sense.

Because the function gui.ScreenToVector returns a normal, and you haven't multiplied it by anything.

[MysteryPancake]

What should I be multiplying it by? Is there a certain value or should I just be estimating?

[zamboni]

[QUOTE=MPan1;49482396]What should I be multiplying it by? Is there a certain value or should I just be estimating?[/QUOTE]

Well that's entirely up to you. It's the same as ply:GetAimVector() — you do ply:EyePos() + ply:GetAimVector() * (distance you want it to travel)

Is it always going to be accurate though? I thought multiplying it would screw it up and make it slightly off point or something

[QUOTE=MPan1;49482632]Is it always going to be accurate though? I thought multiplying it would screw it up and make it slightly off point or something[/QUOTE]

Only multiply the number returned by gui.ScreenToVector, nothing else. A direction vector/normal is clamped between 0 and 1 in all coordinates (x, y, z), so multiplying it simply moves it further in that direction. The higher the multiplied factor, the further along the normal the returned position will be.

Is there a way to unclamp a players view when in a vehicle? So that the camera can go wherever? I have a custom CalcView but it seems to be still clamped by the vehicle.

You probably already know about it but it could be this hook?

Anyone know how to hide the scroll bar on the side of an HTML vgui panel?

local motd = vgui.Create("HTML", MainMenu )
	motd.SetParent( MainMenu )
	motd:SetPos(ScrW(), ScrH() / 6)
	motd:MoveTo( ScrW() / 4, ScrH() / 6, 1.1, -1, 4)
