[ROFLBURGER]

Need help with math

I have two sets of values,

Ya = 100
Yb = 255

Za = 255
Zb = 100

Lets say value x dictates the final outcome

when value x is 0, Y = 100, Z =255
when value x is 0.5, Y = 177.5, Z = 177.5 (Between 100 and 255)
when value x is 1, Y = 255, Z = 100

I'm just having a massive brainfart with how to put it all together in code

You have perfectly described the behaviour of the Lerp function

    if self.Primary.ShotgunReload == true then
        
        self:SendWeaponAnim( ACT_SHOTGUN_RELOAD_START )
        local reloadStartDur = self.Owner:GetViewModel( ):SequenceDuration( )
        self:SendWeaponAnim( ACT_VM_RELOAD )
        local reloadActDur = self.Owner:GetViewModel( ):SequenceDuration( )
        self:SendWeaponAnim( ACT_SHOTGUN_RELOAD_FINISH )
        local reloadFinishDur = self.Owner:GetViewModel( ):SequenceDuration( )
        self:SendWeaponAnim( ACT_VM_IDLE )
        
        self:SendWeaponAnim( ACT_SHOTGUN_RELOAD_START )
        
        timer.Create( self:EntIndex( ).." reloadTimer", reloadActDur, 0, function( )

            if self:Clip1( ) == self.Primary.ClipSize or self:Ammo1( ) == 0 then
                self:SendWeaponAnim( ACT_SHOTGUN_RELOAD_FINISH )
                timer.Stop( self:EntIndex( ).." reloadTimer" )
                timer.Destroy( self:EntIndex( ).." reloadTimer" )
            else
                self.Weapon:SetAnimation( ACT_VM_RELOAD )
                self:SetClip1( self:Clip1( ) + 1 )
            end

        end )
        
    else

Why wouldn't this play the reload animation? The start and stop is totally fine.

How do I increase the text resolution of text rendered with [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/cam/Start3D2D]cam.Start3D2D[/url]? It's really pixelated by default, and I can't find any function on the wiki related to font size or resolution.

[xav]

Create your font with a larger size, maximum is 128

Change the scale parameter to a smaller value.

[QUOTE=wauterboi;47500817]abomination[/QUOTE]

Please, don't use timers. They're pretty great at bugging out. Instead, maybe use CurTime and something short and efficient in the think hook.

xaviergmail's answer is what I was looking for. Just making the text smaller is not what I wanted. I needed some way to keep it the same or a similar size and make it look prettier.

Making a 3D2D nametag that floats above the players head, however I want the text to always be facing the player lookin g at it. Ideas?

[lua]
( pos - LocalPlayer():GetShootPos() ):Angle()

Where pos is the position of the text above the players head.

Where do I implement this? Ive tried puttng it a few places no luck

Lucky for you, I just so happened to have written this exact code;

[lua]
surface.CreateFont( "NameFont", {
font = "Trebuchet18",
size = 128,
blursize = 2,
antialias = true,
})

hook.Add( "PostDrawOpaqueRenderables", "draw_names_admin", function()
local ply = LocalPlayer()
if ply:IsAdmin() then
local plyPos = ply:EyePos()
for _, p in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
if p ~= ply then
local targetPos = p:EyePos()
local textDelta = (targetPos - plyPos)
local textPos = textDelta:GetNormalized() * 10 + ply:EyePos()
local textAngle = textDelta:Angle()
cam.Start3D2D( textPos, Angle(0, textAngle.y - 90, 90 - textAngle.p), 0.007 )
surface.SetFont( "NameFont" )
surface.SetTextColor( 255, 255, 255, 255 )
surface.SetTextPos( 0, 0 )
surface.DrawText( p:Name() )
cam.End3D2D()
end
end
end
end )
[/lua]

Put that in a clientside lua file.

Is there any way of getting the server port, other than "hostport" convar?
Because that is wrong if it cannot bind to the original port, it'll be different but the convar doesn't update.

This doesn't seem to be working for me I'm running sandbox offline, I tried putting myself in users.txt as an admin, I even tried changing if ply:isadmin to if ply:isplayer. When I point a camera at myself, nothing. I am runing it cl.

It doesn't show a tag for yourself. You need other players on the server.

Hm. I just tried it with bots on a listen server. Replaced ply:IsAdmin with if ply:IsPlayer. Does anything of that sort work for you. ?

Not sure. I'm pretty sure player.GetAll() won't return bots.

So I want to make a function that outputs a color, but the color gradually changes to other colors in the ROYGBIV order (like a rainbow). I'm guessing it's a matter of having a HSL color table, +1 on the Hue and converting to color, but I don't know the maths required.

Adding 1 to the Hue should work fine.

Is there any way I can limit the size of a table. So say I want it to be capped at 100. If I've got 100 entries and another is added it'll remove the earliest added ones to make room.

Just do something like this,

[lua]function insert ( table, value, max ) -- Have max as a argument, or a variable outside of the function.
if ( table.Count ( ) == max ) then
table.remove ( table, 1 )
table.insert ( table, value )
return
end

table.insert ( table, value )
end[/lua]

[QUOTE=AnonTakesOver;47506855]just create a function to manage it, assuming your table increases by index, so your keys are just numbers increasing, this'll work

local function AddToTable( tbl, val )
    if #tbl == 100 then
        table.remove(tbl, 1)
    end
    tbl[#tbl + 1] = val
end

[/QUOTE]

Honestly, that's not really an ideal way of doing it since #table would only return values without a variable, meaning { hello = "2" } would return 0.

There is no lua errors at all in the console, i've read the code and even made improvements. It works through GMod client if server started through "Start New Game".

Im hosting the server through Linux. They used to work perfectly before until restart.

I understand why if nobody can answer this.

Well your function doesn't allow string indexes anyways, so why is that a problem?
