Thanks, convinient function :dance:

[Busan1]

for some reason sound doesn't work in entity for me when spawned on InitPostEntity, it works if I later on respawn it(call same function that spawns it in InitPostEntity), I tried precache sound not sure why it would do anything but it didn't anyway, I do with CreateSound( self, "soundfile", self:EntIndex() )

it seems like it has to be spawned after the player joined for him to hear it, what can I do about that?

i've an small issue with my HUD.
Code: [url]https://github.com/Tomelyr/bHUD/blob/master/lua/darkrp_modules/bhud/cl_bhud.lua#L87[/url]
Basicly it breaks, because Player:Nick() is a nil value. I didn't realised this until now, since i worked the whole time with autorefresh. After loading and refreshing, it works.
Dunno why it says nil tbh.

found the issue. LocalPlayer() is nil, when i call it the first time.

Hello, I tried to create entity without model but with gravity(falling to ground), like minecraft items, but I didn't know how do this...

As far as I know, you need a model for physics stuff. Otherwise, how would the physics engine know when it is on the ground? A solution could be to have a really small model (or even a normal model scaled down through lua), and not draw it.

Perhaps use ENTITY:PhysicsInit* functions?

this is the code I used for my minecraft gamemode, I used the skull gib as the model because it had a nice size shadow

[lua]AddCSLuaFile()

ENT.Type = "anim"
ENT.Base = "base_anim"

if SERVER then
function ENT:Initialize()
self:SetModel("models/Gibs/HGIBS.mdl")

self:PhysicsInit( SOLID_VPHYSICS )

--self:SetMoveType( MOVETYPE_VPHYSICS )
self:SetMoveType( MOVETYPE_CUSTOM )
self:SetSolid( SOLID_NONE )

--self:PhysWake()
end

function ENT:Think()
if not(self.ply) then
for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
if(v:GetPos():DistToSqr(self:GetPos()) < 64 ^ 2 and v:Alive()) then
self.ply = v
end
end
else
if(self:GetPos():DistToSqr(self.ply:GetPos() + Vector(0, 0, 32)) < 8 ^ 2) then
--self.ply:giveItem(self.item)

self:Remove()
else
local pos = self:GetPos()
local norm = ((self.ply:GetPos() + Vector(0, 0, 32)) - pos):GetNormalized()

self:SetPos(pos + norm*16)

self:NextThink(CurTime())
return true
end
end
end
else
function ENT:Initialize()
self.createtime = CurTime()
end

function ENT:Draw()
self:DrawModel()

local norm = (LocalPlayer():GetPos() - self:GetPos()):GetNormalized()
norm.z = 0

render.SetMaterial(whatever)
render.DrawQuadEasy(self:GetPos() + Vector(0, 0, 16 + math.cos(self.createtime + CurTime()*2)*4), norm, 16, 16, Color(255, 255, 255), 180)
end
end
[/lua]

[URL="http://facepunch.com/member.php?u=235325"]PortalGod[/URL], thanks. It really helpfull for me code.
UPD:
New problem, rendering without Z pos. Render code from [URL="http://facepunch.com/member.php?u=235325"]PortalGod's[/URL] code, because I do draw function without render.

Hello, i have a small problem with gui.EnableScreenClicker. I'm trying to make cursor to appear when i hold C and dissapear when i release it and it's working fine but it messes up pointshop gui.EnableScreenClicker so yeah... I'm out of ideas.

hook.Add( "Think", "BM_Clients_Key", function()
gui.EnableScreenClicker( input.IsKeyDown( KEY_C ) )
end )

I've also tried to use true and false instead of input.IsKeyDown like this:

if input.IsKeyDown(KEY_C) then
gui.EnableScreenClicker(true)
elseif not input.IsKeyDown(KEY_C) and gui.EnableScreenClicker() == true then
gui.EnableScreenClicker(false)
end

But that did the same thing as the one above. Pointshop's cursor appears and then immediately disappears.

[Eddlm]

This is what I use, hope it works for you.

canshow=1

hook.Add("Tick", "KeyDown_Test", function()
	if input.IsKeyDown(KEY_C) then
		if canshow==1 then
			canshow=0
			gui.EnableScreenClicker(true)		
		end
	elseif canshow==0 then 
			canshow=1
			gui.EnableScreenClicker(false)
	end
end)

If I remember well, [I]canshow[/I] simply tries to prevent the mouse pointer to be enable/disabled every tick.
You could remove it and leave it like this

hook.Add("Tick", "KeyDown_Test", function()
	if input.IsKeyDown(KEY_C) then
			gui.EnableScreenClicker(true)		
	else
			gui.EnableScreenClicker(false)
	end
end)

But this version would probably prevent any other functions to enable/disable the mouse pointer.

Okay, i'll try that tomorrow. Thanks! And by the way, are you using pointshop? And if so, does cursor work properly for you?

I tried with hooking PlayerInitialSpawn and respawning them, and that works, but doesn't feel like a viable method. I tried overwriting the entity.Sound = CreateSound() aswell in PlayerInitialSpawn, but that didn't work. Any suggestions? :/

How would i change money on a DarkRp hud so it has commas in? For example $500,000,241 instead of $500000241 thanks!

[Combineguy5]

How, if possible, can I use variables in a sendlua command? For example:

attacker:SendLua( "chat.AddText( Color( 200, 0, 0 ), 'Total: ', Color( 150, 0, 150 )," .. attacker.finalEXP .. " ' EXP')" )

The above does not work. Any way to work around it so I can get it working?

the problem is that the syntax of what you're sending is wrong, but the bigger problem is sendlua
sendlua is never a good option, in your case the best way to do it is with a net message

[lua]
--serverside

util.AddNetworkString("EXPPrint")

local function sendEXP(attacker)
net.Start("EXPPrint")
net.WriteUInt(attacker.finalEXP, 16) --this goes up to 65535
net.Send(attacker)
end

--clientside

net.Receive("EXPPrint")
chat.AddText(Color(200, 0, 0), "Total: ", Color(150, 0, 150), net.ReadUInt(16), " EXP")
end
[/lua]

[Combineguy5]

Alright, thanks! I'll give that a try when I get a chance.

AddCustomShipment("KAC PDW", "models/weapons/w_kac_pdw.mdl", "m9k_kac_pdw", 950, 1, true, 950, true, {TEAM_GUN})

The problem is, everytime I attempt to purchase a shipment as TEAM_GUN, it says "This shipment is unavailable."

Thank you for your time.

This is probably really easy, but I just cant seem to find out how, and plus Im super over tired, sorry. im trying to figure out how to change the button color when hovering is detected. I know how to change the color I just need to get the detection part,

heres what i got

if closebutton:IsHovered() == true then
			closebutton.Paint = function()
				   draw.RoundedBox( 0, 0, 0, 40, 40, Color( 255, 70, 60, 255) )
				   draw.DrawText("X", "x", 8, -6, Color(255,255,255,255))
			end

[A Fghtr Pilot]

How would I overwrite the code that Gmod's bots(the ones added through the console command "bot") have that makes them stop moving when they are shot? I want them to keep moving around even after they're shot. Anyone have a code for this?

Note: Probably the best method would be to make a code that makes an individual bot move around randomly, and call it upon the bot being hurt. Or, where is the code for bots in the gmod files? I could simply edit that, if I knew where the .lua file was. However, if they're coded in C++(which is a possibility), I'm out of luck with that strategy.

[^:] is a character set that only matches characters that are not a colon. The * means to match that set 0 or more times.

Not exactly a problem, but I got a glua implementation of websockets and I'm not sure what the preferred way to package this up is. Do I use module() and have people require() it, or just have a plain .lua people have to include?

What's the best way to add a rotation/zooming feature using mouse input to a DModelPanel? By this, I mean using your mouse wheel to zoom in and out and dragging your mouse while holding down left mouse button to rotate the model.
