The sad truth is - without interfacing to the fs to get the true path name - you're screwed if you want to check if a path points to an exact file.

Anyone know how I would get started creating a "free sway" code for a SWEP? If you don't know what I mean when I say "free sway", think of the weapons Red Orchestra 2 or Insurgency, that kind of free sway.

Anyone know why this isn't working?

local URL = "PERFECTLY VALID URL HERE"

function ENT:Use(activator, caller) -- Called when the ent is used.
	if not ( activator:IsPlayer() ) then return end
	print("Attempting to play sound")
	sound.PlayURL ( "URL", "", SoundPlay )
end

function SoundPlay( SoundPlay )
	print("SoundPlay function called")
	SoundPlay:SetPos( activator:GetPos() )
	SoundPlay:Play()
end

I'm trying to make an entity play a sound clip from a url when a player presses E on it.
The url is a hosted mp3 file that the playURL function works with, but it doesn't seem to be playing.

This is in the cl_init.lua of my entity.

Is there something im overlooking? Any help would be much appreciated.

How do would you network a derma entity in the client. I've tried to use SetNetworkedEntity, but that doesn't work?

I was just wondering where the code for the default Hl2 hud is, because I'd like to make a hud based on that and would like access to everything it uses... Thanks :D

When is it safe to call http.Post? I can't seem to get it to run on dedi server startup, though in singleplayer it seems to run just fine. I've ran it in InitPostEntity, with and without a timer and my http server doesn't seem to acknowledge the GMod server at all.

Do I just have to say fuck it and use http.Fetch instead?

How come I never see any custom VGUI elements released? There's themed elements for Bootstrap and .NET applications, why aren't there any for VGUI elements? The only themed elements I've seen were made for that addon specifically.

This is more of a curiosity than a problem. Is there any reason you'd ever return something from a console command function? I found [URL="https://github.com/putta-jon/gstats/blob/master/gStats/lua/autorun/server/sv_cmds.lua"]this [/URL]while randomly searching github.

I know it has something to do with the physgun prop halo effect/ Freeze effect, but I'm unsure if there is a way to fix it.

A really bad reason. To hack around it just prefix all your error messages with "]".

Hmm, I have uncommented the URL so it looks like this:

sound.PlayURL( URL, "", SoundPlay )

But it still doesn't seem to be calling the function SoundPlay, as it isn't printing the messages to the console, and isn't playing anything.

Any ideas? Im stumped.

local URL = "LINK TO HOSTED MP3 FILE"

function ENT:Use(activator, caller) -- Called when the ent is used.
	if not ( activator:IsPlayer() ) then return end -- Making sure that wire users cannot trigger the secret.

This is copy+pasta'd from a thread I made but I figured someone here might know:

Hello, I'm having an issue with an animation for a weapon ported from csgo.
The animation (to inspect the weapon) has around a 6 second delay so I've tried to solve that using this:

function SWEP:Think()
   --Key is just temp for testing ofc
   if self.Owner:KeyPressed(IN_JUMP) then
      self.Weapon:SendWeaponAnim( ACT_VM_IDLE ) --play anim
      self.Owner:GetViewModel():SetPlaybackRate( 7 ) --set the speed high
      timer.Simple( 0.4, function() self.Owner:GetViewModel():SetPlaybackRate( 2 ) end ) --set speed back after 2.4 seconds to slow back down skipping the 6 seconds
  end
end

Hopefully someone will understand what I'm trying to accomplish :P

Is there a function similar to player.GetAll except it only grabs players of a certain team?

[QUOTE=Shadico;47910734]Is there a function similar to player.GetAll except it only grabs players of a certain team?[/QUOTE]

team.GetPlayers()

[Shadico]

[QUOTE=PigeonPatrol;47910761]team.GetPlayers()[/QUOTE]

With this in mind, any way to incorporate that into this piece so it only applies to a certain team? In this case FACTION_CP, if that's relevant.

function PLUGIN:HUDPaint()
		client = LocalPlayer()
		
		if (client:IsAdmin() and client:GetMoveType() == MOVETYPE_NOCLIP and !client:InVehicle() and NUT_CVAR_ADMINESP:GetBool()) then
			sx, sy = surface.ScreenWidth(), surface.ScreenHeight()

			for k, v in ipairs(player.GetAll()) do
				if (v == client) then continue end

				scrPos = v:GetPos():ToScreen()
				marginx, marginy = sy*.1, sy*.1
				x, y = math.Clamp(scrPos.x, marginx, sx - marginx), math.Clamp(scrPos.y, marginy, sy - marginy)
				teamColor = team.GetColor(v:Team())
				distance = client:GetPos():Distance(v:GetPos())
				factor = 1 - math.Clamp(distance/dimDistance, 0, 1)
				size = math.max(10, 32*factor)
				alpha = math.Clamp(255*factor, 80, 255)

				surface.SetDrawColor(teamColor.r, teamColor.g, teamColor.b, alpha)
				surface.DrawLine(sx * 0.5, sy * 0.5, x, y)

[Matsilagi]

So, could anyone help me getting this RT to work? It refuses to draw anything, either giving a error texture or a black screen.

SWEP.RTMaterialPath = "models/weapons/kf2/shared/optic"


local function KF2RenderScreen()

	if !IsValid(LocalPlayer()) or !IsValid(LocalPlayer():GetActiveWeapon()) then return end
	
	local self = LocalPlayer():GetActiveWeapon()
	local w,h = ScrW(), ScrH()
	
	if !self.RTMaterialPath then return end
	
	if not self.RTMat then
		self.RTMat 	= Material( self.RTMaterialPath )
	end
	
	if !self.HudCol then
		self.HudCol = Color(0,0,0,0)
	end
	
	local RTTexture 	= GetRenderTarget( "tfa_kf2_rt", 512, 512,true)
	
	if self.RTMat and !string.find(tostring(self.RTMat),"error") then
		self.RTMat:SetTexture( "$basetexture", RTTexture )	

		local OldRT = render.GetRenderTarget()
		
		render.SetRenderTarget( RTTexture )
		render.SetViewPort( 0, 0, 512, 512 )
		render.Clear( 255, 0, 0, 255, true, true)
		render.UpdateScreenEffectTexture()
		cam.Start2D()
			local c = self.Owner:GetWeaponColor()
			self.HudCol.r = c.r
			self.HudCol.g = c.g
			self.HudCol.b = c.b
			draw.NoTexture()
			surface.SetDrawColor(self.HudCol)
			surface.DrawRect(25,25,100,100)
		cam.End2D()
		render.SetRenderTarget( OldRT )
		render.SetViewPort( 0, 0, w, h )
		--render.DrawTextureToScreen(RTTexture)
	end
	
end

hook.Add("PreDrawOpaqueRenderables","KF2SCREENS",KF2RenderScreen)

Really? No help? I tried lots of stuff but nothing worked.

[NiandraLades]

I have a table of weapons, in this format:

AddItemToTable("weapon_hp_crowbar", 
{
	name = "Crowbar",
	desc = "A firm and sturdy crowbar that should be used for mechanical work.",
	model = "models/weapons/crowbar.mdl",
	start = 500,
	category = CATE_WEAPONS
})

I want to insert the key and start value into a new table (when the weapon is used, which I have on a PlayerDeath hook). I know I can just do the start value with table.Insert, and it looks like this:

1 = 500
2 = 650
etc

However, what would be the correct syntax so it's like below instead? My intention is that items only get inserted into a table once, but the value associated with them will change.

weapon_hp_crowbar = 500
weapon_hp_sawblade  = 650

(basically I've gone back to working on my The Ship gamemode - each weapon has a starting value which you get in cash when you kill with it, the more time it's used, the lesser that value is and if I'm over complicating this, please let me know)
