Does anyone know the ACT animation name for the player lying on the ground, I've seen it on a few servers before I just can't find the ACT ENUM for it ([url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Enums/ACT[/url]).

[wauterboi]

I figured my stuff out: DoImpactEffect( ) is what you need!

Now to figure out how to create a Particle Effect tracer that follows your gun...

I was under the assumption you're not able to use any DOD ACTs for player animations. Trying it out results in the playermodel just doing the T pose.

How do you remove localized clientside models?

ENT:Remove() them within the scope? Is there a reason why you need to delete it outside of its local scope?

Anyone got ways to paint a DComboBox, making sure all of the elements of it are still displayed?

Does anyone have any good methods to overlay [URL="https://github.com/HandsomeMatt/3d2d-vgui"]Handsome Matt's 3d2d vgui[/URL] onto a view model? Angles are just not something that I entirely understand especially with view models

local client = LocalPlayer()
		
		local frame = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
		frame:SetPos( 0, 0 )
		frame:SetSize( 400, 250 )
		frame:SetTitle( "Test" )
		
		hook.Add( "PreDrawViewModel", "DrawSample3D2DFrame2", function( vm, ply, wep )
			
			if ply != client then return end
			if wep != self then return end
			
			local fwd = client:GetForward()
			local rgt = client:GetRight()
			local pos = vm:GetPos()
			local eyeAng = client:EyeAngles()
			local vmAng = vm:GetAngles()
			
			pos = pos + Vector( (fwd.x * 10) - (rgt.x * 2), (fwd.y * 10) - (rgt.y * 2), 0 )
			
			local ang = Angle( 0, eyeAng.y - 90, 90 )
			
			vgui.Start3D2D( pos, ang, 0.01 )
				frame:Paint3D2D()
			vgui.End3D2D()
		end)

After messing around today this anim seems to work but does anyone know why it's so inconsistent?
Here's what I mean:
[vid]http://zippy.gfycat.com/JadedRemoteFeline.webm[/vid]

Sometimes the player will get up using the animation, sometimes they'll just glide up and sometimes they'll slowly get up. Is it an issue with the animation not being reset or maybe there's multiple animations? I can't seem to find much on Google and it doesn't seem return much.

EDIT: Seems like it's got a pool of about 3-4 animations and one of them is instantly stand up, I can't find anything on how ACT works I'm just going off assumptions, is there maybe a way to force it to just use one animation?

Just a heads up, bonemerging is going to be a lot easier to use if you want the models to be directly on top of each other.

Just thought I'd post the solution I've found in case anyone is searching for this in the future, I simply added ply:AnimRestartMainSequence() before starting the animation.

How do I change the frame of a VMT? I set the Framerate to 0 and want a CLuaParticle to spawn with a random frame.

Yeah. I got it all working, thanks. When I first tried bone merging, I died when I realized how easy it was! It automatically perfectly aligned every single bone. Immeasurable thanks! I did end up using a function or two that Busan1 mentioned, though. "GetPhysicsObjectCount"

for i=0, someStuff:GetPhysicsObjectCount() - 1 do

That was just for bone scaling.

	  return false

	  return true

end );

That's what I have so far, what next? Still a bit confused.[/QUOTE]

I got it working. I simply changed the if statement to check the teams player count before continuing, don't know why I didn't think of that. Although, I'd like to implement a team full message, to let the player know why they couldn't join. How can I include it in the function I have?

What I have so far:

local function TeamSwitch(ply,text)
    text = string.lower(text)
	if (string.sub(text,1) == "!juggernaut") and (team.NumPlayers(2) == 0) then
	
	   ply:SetTeam(2)
	   ply:Spawn()
	   ply:StripWeapons()
	   ply:Give("weapon_crowbar")
	   ply:SetWalkSpeed(50)
	   ply:SetRunSpeed(200)
	   ply:ChatPrint(ply:Nick().." Is the juggernaut!")
	   
	    return true
	end
	
	return false
end

Thanks for the help

[Cush]

having an annoying problem when testing some of my old hatshop code from late 2012.

when the client receives a list of hats, it creates a table of clientside models similar to PS, then in PostPlayerDraw it checks if the player is alive among other stuff and returns if not, or continues to draw hats if everything checks out.

the problem is something i dont understand, if i do for example [B]hat:SetNoDraw(true)[/B] when creating the model, there's a weird issue where hats will randomly change/flash all kinds of different colours depending on the distance from them.

if i set [B]hat:SetNoDraw(false)[/B], hats will be perfectly coloured but they stick around after people die.

this code used to work fine back in the day, is there some weird hack that needs to be done to get the colours to behave correctly? i'm not really doing anything different in rendering them from how PS does it.

hu?
if !juggernaut and the value of team.NumPlayers( 2 ) is 0, then it sets team, spawn, give weapon, return true.
You have then:

end
return false

you could just put
else
ply:ChatPrint( "Team full" );
return false;
end

if() then

else

end

string.sub(text,1) == "whatever"

Could be func_door also. The only "proper" way is to check the class name of the entity for "door".

What's the best way to check and see if the weapon is the same as the weapon being defined in a script?

I wanna check and see if the weapon in the script is currently in use. I usually did it with this

self.Owner:GetActiveWeapon( ).PrintName == self.PrintName

but that seems like overkill.

EDIT: Using orthographic projection in the screenshot.

Any way to change what the camera see's when nothing is rendered? By default nothing is rendered black.

Any way to render the (un-rendered black) a different color or override what is rendered (or not) when nothing is rendered?

You could render the scene yourself onto a stencil, and do some magic with that?

If I remove one of the last two set functions, the above works totally fine. However, having them both together causes each to break immensely.

Does anyone know of an easy way to check if there is a lockdown in DarkRP?

I have this code in lua/autorun/server but it causes this error:

Disconnect: Client 0 overflowed reliable channel..

Code:

local function funcCallback(CVar, PreviousValue, NewValue)
	print(CVar.." changed from "..PreviousValue.." to "..NewValue.."!")
end
cvars.AddChangeCallback("DarkRP_Lockdown", funcCallback)

Any help would be much appreciated! =)
