[QUOTE=bigdogmat;49772968]Oh I didn't notice, his example table must be wrong.[/QUOTE]

you wouldn't normally have a table with keys as tables unless you intentionally do so

[QUOTE=funnygamemake;49772829]Okay so heres the scenario

So Im loading my Main table data from the players data, but for each key in the main table they have their own table,[B][U] for example[/U][/B]

GMI.Businesses = {
Lemonade = {
            name = 'lemonade',
            price = 1,
            amount = 0,
            income = 1,
            timerlength = 1,
            timerstart = false
            },
Mail     = {
            name = 'Mail',
            price = 20,
            amount = 0,
            income = 6,
            timerlength = 60,
            timerstart = false
            }

}

but when I load the data, then try and print the data with this

for k, v in pairs(business) do --business is the players data verison of the GMI.Business
        print("                     ~"..k)
            for key, val in pairs(v) do
                print('                                   '..key.." : ".. val )
            end
        end

[B]i get an error of[/B]

[B]So I changed the print out to this[/B]

for k, v in pairs(business) do --business is the players data verison of the GMI.Business
        print(k)
            for key, val in pairs(v) do
                print(key)
            end
        end

[B]and the output was this
[/B]

So my question is, how can I get it to actually print the table instead of the (table: 0x29780108)[/QUOTE]

try this

GMI.Businesses = {
    ["Lemonade"] = {
        name = "Lemonade",
        price = 1,
        amount = 0,
        income = 1,
        timerlength = 1,
        timerstart = false
    },
    ["Mail"] = {
        name = "Mail",
        price = 20,
        amount = 0,
        income = 6,
        timerlength = 60,
        timerstart = false
    }
}

that is exactly the same table, except you surrounded the keys with [" "]

But that still has nothing to do with what I posted, only way it's using a table as the key is if he's doing so and not knowing it or he posted the wrong example.

[funnygamemake]

it broke again after I just got it to work with somehow
[QUOTE]for key, val in pairs(business) do
for k,v in pairs(key) do
print(k.." : "..v)
end
end[/QUOTE]

Do you think it might be the way the table is first saved? because I dont know if JSONToTable can a table with in a table(but still be able to fetch all the tables.)
so when I load the table its just not fetching the table values due to the JSONToTables

this is the line I use to load the table data

util.JSONToTable(ply:GetPData('GMI_Business', '{}'))

this is the line I use to save the table data

ply:SetPData('GMI_Business', util.TableToJSON(business))

Is there a way to check if a certain addon is active?

[Billy]

[QUOTE=MaxShadow;49774561]Is there a way to check if a certain addon is active?[/QUOTE]

If the addon creates any global variables, you can simply check whether the global variable is set.

This is usually the case with all object oriented addons as they will create a global table somewhere in the code.

Is there a way to force a "hook.Add" execute after another "hook.Add" of the same type? I have a gore mod that creates a ragdoll when "OnNPCKilled" is executed, and my mod needs to do something with that ragdoll on "OnNPCKilled". So far it's working fine. However, if my hook (the second one) is executed before the other, it wont work (because the ragdoll is not created yet), and I want to make sure that doesn't happen. Is it possible?

(I can't use OnEntityCreated, because I need the reference to the NPC that dies, and it isn't stored in the corpse)

By default there isn't, though you could call both from the same hook.Add and just order it that way. Also you [I]could [/I]use OnEntityCreated and stored the reference NPC on the corpse entity.

[MaxShadow]

The thing is that the gore mod is not mine, and I can't modify it. I'm trying to add compatibility. I need to store the created ragdoll corpse in a table, but only if the NPC who died is included in another table. If I use OnEntityCreated, I can't tell if the NPC was in my table or not. I need to do it in OnNPCKilled, but right after the other hook is executed.

Anyway, after experimenting a bit, I noticed that adding an "A" to my hook's name breaks it (and the other too). Apparently, all "hook.Add" are ordered alphabetically (by their names) before executing them, so I can control the order of execution by changing the name of my hook. This solves my problem :D

[kpjVideo]

Maybe I'm just dumb but for some reason I can't use SetSubMaterial on a viewmodel.

	for k, v in pairs(ply:GetViewModel():GetMaterials()) do
		ply:GetViewModel():SetSubMaterial(k - 1, 'models/wireframe')
	end

This appears to do nothing at all ^

I have a problem with my timer.

	if ( self.Owner:HasWeapon( self.Data.Class ) ) then
		local weap = ents.Create( self.Data.Class )
		weap:SetPos( self.Owner:TraceFromEyes( 100 ).HitPos + Vector( 0, 0, 15 ) )
		weap:Spawn()
		SPropProtection.PlayerMakePropOwner( self.Owner, weap )
		timer.Simple( math.random( 10, 20 ), function() if ( IsValid( weap ) ) then weap:Fadeout( 2 ) end end )

In the code you're crafting a weapon, e.g. a pistol. If you already have one, you drop it on the ground and it will then fade after some time. This works fine, however, how do I cancel the timer for the fadeout if a player picks up the weapon? Perhaps there's a whole other way of doing this with the same results?
I do apologize if I'm missing information and what not, I am new to all of this.

Don't create a simple timer. Use this instead:

Then you can stop it with timer.Remove( name )

Thank you. I managed to replace the timer line with

		timer.Create( "gms_weaponcreate", 30, 0, function() if ( IsValid( weap ) ) then weap:Fadeout( 2 ) end end )

I seem to be unable to find the function for when a player picks up the weapon. E.g. #OnPlayerPickup# timer.Remove( gms_weaponcreate )
What do I add at "OnPlayerPickup"?

So I'm currently creating an anti-spam addon and I have the chat commands in the main lua file. I was wondering how I could give said chat commands their own file or make an "API" out of them. Below is a pastebin to the code, as I didn't want to make a long post.

[url]https://github.com/garrynewman/garrysmod/blob/master/garrysmod/lua/includes/modules/hook.lua#L77[/url][/QUOTE]

I tested it a few times, and the hooks were always executed in alphabetical order. Look at this:

function Add( event_name, name, func )
	if ( !isfunction( func ) ) then return end
	if ( !isstring( event_name ) ) then return end
	if (Hooks[ event_name ] == nil) then
			Hooks[ event_name ] = {}
	end
	Hooks[ event_name ][ name ] = func -- This
end

I found that when you insert a value into a table directly with a string key, lua logically inserts it with an alphabetical order, just like it does with numerical keys. It can be seen in this example:

lua_run testtable = {}
lua_run testtable["B"] = "B"
lua_run testtable["A"] = "A"
lua_run testtable["C"] = "C"
lua_run PrintTable(testtable)

Output:
A	=	A
B	=	B
C	=	C

Thats why when "for k, v in pairs( HookTable ) do " is executed, the table is already ordered alphabetically.

[QUOTE=bigdogmat;49777741]As zerf already said they aren't, but still why can't you tell if it was in your table?[/QUOTE]

I couldn't because the reference to the NPC is not stored into the ragdoll, and I can't make it work that way because the mod is not mine. If I use OnEntityCreated, I have the reference to the ragdoll, but not the NPC, so I can't check if it was in my table or not.

You were just lucky. The order is based on the hash code of strings inside it. Since you are using single characters, their hash code is heavily influenced by their ascii code,
and that is why it seems to work. Try inserting random strings of random length, and you will see.

[MaxShadow]

I tested it a bit more:

] lua_run testtable["asgfdgdf"] = "C"
] lua_run testtable["asgfdgda"] = "C"
] lua_run testtable["asgfdgdz"] = "C"
] lua_run testtable["asgfagdz"] = "C"
] lua_run testtable["asgfzgdz"] = "C"
] lua_run testtable["ASGFZGDZ"] = "C"
] lua_run testtable["ASG"] = "C"
] lua_run testtable["BSDAG"] = "C"
] lua_run PrintTable(testtable)

Output:
A	=	A
ASG	=	C
ASGFZGDZ	=	C
B	=	B
BSDAG	=	C
C	=	C
asgfagdz	=	C
asgfdgda	=	C
asgfdgdf	=	C
asgfdgdz	=	C
asgfzgdz	=	C

It always seem to be ordered alphabetically. Perhaps you're right, but it seems like most of the time the ASCII code influences it enought to keep an alphabetical order. Anyway, as long as the name of the hooks in both mods don't change, it will be executed in the order I want, so my problem is solved.

(Off topic)
You seem to have quite a long list of elseif statements, and a lot of repetitive commands with different variables inside.
You might wanna take a look at [URL="https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1504473"]this[/URL] thread, you can make 84 lines into 20 or less (And it wouldn't require as much effort when adding chat commands)

sprites/strider_blackball works, but sprites/splodesprite doesn't, and neither does any sprite I like the look of in the texture browser. I grabbed splodesprite from [url]https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/render/DrawSprite[/url] so I figured it would work.

[lua]
AddCSLuaFile();

ENT.Base = "base_anim";
ENT.Type = "anim";
ENT.Spawnable = false;
ENT.PrintName = "Tombstone";
ENT.Purpose = "Celebrating and marking a player's clumsy death";
ENT.Author = "Lexi"
ENT.RenderGroup = RENDERGROUP_BOTH

DEFINE_BASECLASS "base_entity";

function ENT:Initialize()
self:SetModel("models/gibs/hgibs.mdl");
self:SetMoveType(MOVETYPE_NONE);
self:SetSolid(SOLID_NONE);
end
local behindGlow = Material("sprites/splodesprite");

function ENT:Draw()
self:DrawModel();
end

function ENT:DrawTranslucent()
local obbs = self:OBBMaxs();
local size = obbs:Length() * 4;
render.SetMaterial(behindGlow)
render.DrawSprite(self:GetPos(), size, size);
end
[/lua]

...Huh, I just checked the code on [url]https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/render/DrawSprite[/url] and turns out it [i]doesn't[/i] work.
Is there some witchcraft I can do to make it actually do alphas?

[QUOTE=!cake;49778792]PrintTable sorts its keys alphabetically.

Oh... that explains it then. I tried printing the keys with "pairs" and I got this:

B
asgfdgdz
ASG
A
asgfzgdz
asgfdgda
BSDAG
ASGFZGDZ
asgfdgdf
C
asgfagdz

Definitely not an alphabetical order :v: So it was luck then. Well thanks for clearing it. I was just trying to be informative. I guess I'm back with my original problem :/

[QUOTE=MaxShadow;49778964] - hook thing - [/QUOTE]

Well, you could remove the original mods hook, then call it from yours manually. Just make extra sure to make it appearent in the stacktrace, or something like that, so the original mod author does not have to go crazy while he tries to debug his code based on users reporting that the mod is broken.
