[QUOTE=YourStalker;48015830]Anyone know why IN_ATTACK2 isn't working? Jump and attack seem to work fine though.
[lua]hook.Add( "KeyPress", "doThatStuff", function( ply, key )
local spwnKeys = { IN_JUMP, IN_ATTACK, IN_ATTACK2 }

if spwnKeys[key] then
doStuff()
end
end )[/lua]

Also, here is a nice bump:[/QUOTE]

Because you're placing them in the table as the value.

You'd want to do this:
[lua]
local spwnKeys = {
IN_JUMP = true,
IN_ATTACK = true,
IN_ATTACK2 = true,
}
[/lua]

[QUOTE=LUModder;48011693]I'm trying to make a money printer for my sandbox server's money system. The problem is I have multiple values set in the entity (time,maxtime,ink,value and cash). Time gets set just fine in the think hook but Ink and Cash only get set clientside and not serverside making it so I can't get money.

Code

[/QUOTE]Use networked values [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Entity/SetNWInt[/url] Use that function and set it serverside then you'll be able to retrieve the value anywhere using [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Entity/GetNWInt[/url].

I'm using this in an entities init.lua to open a menu, but nothings happening

function ENT:Use( ply )
	--self.SongOne:Play()
	if ( ply:IsPlayer() ) then
		print( "test1" )
		self.OpenMenu()
	end
end
function ENT:OpenMenu()
	print( "test2")
	if ( CLIENT ) then
	print( "test3" )
local Frame = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
Frame:SetPos( 5, 5 )
Frame:SetSize( 300, 150 )
Frame:SetTitle( "Song Selection" )
Frame:SetVisible( true )
Frame:SetDraggable( false )
Frame:ShowCloseButton( true )
Frame:MakePopup()

local Button = vgui.Create( "DButton", Frame )
Button:SetText( "Midnight Crew" )
Button:SetTextColor( Color( 255, 255, 255 ) )
Button:SetPos( 100, 100 )
Button:SetSize( 100, 30 )
Button.Paint = function( self, w, h )
	draw.RoundedBox( 0, 0, 0, w, h, Color( 41, 0, 0, 0 ) )
		end
Button.DoClick = function()
	print( "Working!" )
	self.SongOne:Play()
		end
	end

end

"test1" prints, and "test2" prints, but "test3" does not. Am I using the CLIENT thing correctly? Or should this whole function be put in shared or cl?

ENT:Use is serverside, therefore the code called from it is only run on the server, where CLIENT is false. You will want to put your function clientside, and call it via a net message.

Thanks for the quick reply! After reading some tutorials I added in init having:

	util.AddNetworkString( "OpenMenu" )

function ENT:Use( ply )
	--self.SongOne:Play()
	net.Start( "OpenMenu" )
	net.Send( ply )
	end

and cl having:

 net.Receive( "OpenMenu", function( length, client )
		
	end )

But what do I add in so that it calls the function? The [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Net_Library_Usage"]wiki page[/URL] only covers sending strings and tables.

Oh! So I put the function as part of the Recieve. That all makes sense to me, but the game is giving me this:

You would think that works, but it also draws behind some random entities and the a few other materials that the player is in font of.

[QUOTE=polivlas;48017337]PostDrawTranslucentRenderables?[/QUOTE]

That draws on top of pretty much everything. But it's the best I've found so far.

Hey with the new ability to change textures on player models is there anyway you can layer different textures on top of each other with them having different transparencies?

[QUOTE=A Fghtr Pilot;48008547]Anyone know how I could play a sound if a player has fallen a certain distance? Like if I jump off a cliff, if I fall a certain distance then I play a sound.[/QUOTE]
I believe you would have to use speed to do this, but if you have a server with vehicles, it could pose a problem.

-Edit-
I believe it is fall speed or gravity.

[zeaga]

[QUOTE=MatureGamersNetwork;48022681]I believe you would have to use speed to do this, but if you have a server with vehicles, it could pose a problem.[/QUOTE]

You could just check if the player is in a vehicle, though.

How do you get every button that is down with CMoveData?

I'm aware the GetButtons exists, but I want to find out what buttons are down rather than just getting a number.

[editline]22nd June 2015[/editline]

There is no "proper" way to do it the way you want, you can just hardcode the IN_* enums in a table and then iterate it while calling KeyDown if you really don't want to use the bit library.

How does the filesystem for an addon that overrides gamemode files work?

So like, for example, if I wanted to modify garrysmod\gamemodes\terrortown\gamemode\cl_hud.lua, where in my addon should I put the lua file to replace it? (Not actually the file I want to modify, but for example's sake)

I could swear I've seen other addons do this, but I can't remember how. Apparently the most obvious way doesn't work.

Hello! I have two scripts and I'd like some help debugging.

This first one is supposed to make a file:

------------------------------ Loadout --------------------------
function ulx.loadout( calling_ply, weapon )
    local identifier = calling_ply:SteamID64()
    local wep = weapons.Get( weapon )
    local kind = wep.Kind
    
    if kind == WEAPON_HEAVY then
        file.Write( "loadout/" .. identifier .. "_primary.txt", weapon )
        calling_ply:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "You will now spawn with a " .. weapon )
    elseif kind == WEAPON_PISTOL then
        file.Write( "loadout/" .. identifier .. "_pistol.txt", weapon )
        calling_ply:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "You will now spawn with a " .. weapon )
    elseif kind == WEAPON_NADE then
        file.Write( "loadout/" .. identifier .. "_equipment.txt", weapon )
        calling_ply:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "You will now spawn with a " .. weapon )
    else
        calling_ply:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "You're not allowed to spawn with that weapon!" )
    end
end
local loadout = ulx.command( CATEGORY_NAME, "ulx loadout", ulx.loadout, "!loadout" )
loadout:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.StringArg, hint="Weapon", ULib.cmds.optional, ULib.cmds.takeRestOfLine }
loadout:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_SUPERADMIN )
loadout:help( "Adds a weapon to your loadout." )

And this second one is supposed to read that file and give the player weapons. Steps 1, 3, 5, and 7 run.

---Weapon Loadout - Master -----------------------------------

                            pl:StripWeapon( wepclass )
                        end
                    end
                    pl:Give( weapon )
                    pl:SetAmmo( ammoamt, ammotype, true )
                end
                pl:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "Step 7" )
                --if wep.Kind == WEAPON_HEAVY then
                    pl:SelectWeapon( primary )
                --end
                sound.Play( 'items/gift_pickup.wav', pl:GetPos() )
            end
        end
    end
end )

So both of the functions are functional (hahaha) but clearly the if statements in function #2 are not running. Could somebody help me determine whether the problem lies in the first script, or the second?

I need some help with a weapon, it's a zombine weapon and what I want it to do when you use secondary fire for the grenade suicide I want it to spawn a grenade model with the trail and attach it to the players right hand but sadly so far it doesn't seem to work the model is invisible and it goes waaaay off nowhere near the hand.

Here is the code

SWEP.NextGrenade = 0
function SWEP:SecondaryAttack()
	if CurTime() < self.NextGrenade then return end
	
	if SERVER then
		local grenade = ents.Create("zombine_grenade")
		if grenade:IsValid() then
			local bone = self.Owner:LookupBone("ValveBiped.Bip01_R_Hand")
			local attachment = self.Owner:LookupAttachment("anim_attachment_RH")
			grenade:SetPos(self.Owner:GetBonePositionMatrixed(bone))
			grenade:SetOwner(self.Owner)
			grenade:Spawn()
			grenade:FollowBone(self.Owner, bone)
			grenade:SetParent(self.Owner, attachment)
		end
	end

	self:SendWeaponAnim(ACT_VM_SECONDARYATTACK) -- grenade animation
	self.Owner:DoAnimationEvent(ACT_GMOD_GESTURE_TAUNT_ZOMBIE)
	self.Owner:EmitSound("weapons/npc/zombine/zombie_voice_idle"..math.random(14)..".wav")
	
	timer.Simple(0.9, function(wep) self:SendWeaponAnim(ACT_VM_THROW) end) -- timer to pull up grenade
	
	if (SERVER) then
		timer.Simple(3, function(wep) self:Grenade()  end)
	end

	self.NextGrenade = CurTime() + 5 -- to make sure you can't spam the grenade
end

if SERVER then
	local ENT = {}
	ENT.Type = "anim"
	
	function ENT:Initialize()
		self:SetModel("models/weapons/w_grenade.mdl")
		
		self:SetSolid(SOLID_NONE)
		self:SetMoveType(MOVETYPE_NONE)
		self:AddEFlags(EFL_SETTING_UP_BONES)
		
		self.SpriteTrail = util.SpriteTrail(self, self:LookupAttachment("fuse"), Color(255,0,0), false, 8.0, 1, 0.5, 0.01, "trails/laser.vmt")
	end
	
	function ENT:Think()
		local owner = self.Owner;
		
		if owner:IsPlayer() then
