Problems That Don't Need Their Own Thread v3.0

[Shadico]

Does anybody know how to set the world model's bodygroups on a SWEP? I'm using RCS.

I made a thread about this but I just got ratings and no actual responses so I guess it doesn't actually need its own thread.

self:GetModel():SetBodyGroup()

or

self.Owner:GetActiveWeapon():GetModel():SetBodyGroup()

:v: GetModel() on a weapon always returns the world model, so yah that should work fine.

[QUOTE=A Fghtr Pilot;48060968]Don't use v.PrintName(it would work totally fine but there is no need to), use Weapon:GetPrintName().

Here's a nice bump:[/QUOTE]

That doesn't work because I'm not dealing with an actual weapon, I'm dealing with the weapons table. My problem is that I have both values, but dlang:AddChoice only picks up the first one.

I don't know if I'm right, but since weapons.GetList() returns ALL SWEPs in the game, you might be iterating through SWEPs that don't have that variable ClassName set up. Or you might not have put the variable in the SWEP code(if the SWEP you run into while iterating through the table has the variable) shared.

EDIT:

Okay, apparently weapons.GetList() shows the classname of the weapon. My bad!

Using both of those caused this error:

[ERROR] addons/nutscript 1.1/lua/weapons/nut_akmmod1.lua:509: attempt to index a string value with bad key ('SetBodyGroup' is not part of the string library)
  1. error - [C]:-1

It isn't RCS, as a SWEP I made with swep_base also had that problem.

Is this sarcasm? You're aware that GetModel returns a string containing the path of the entity's model, right?

How would I go making a bullet tracer similar to the Machina's in Team Fortress 2? Don't need code, just indications on which hooks and functions I should use.

[Kogitsune]

You'd create an effect and set the .Tracer property of the bullet to that.

Check out [url=https://github.com/garrynewman/garrysmod/blob/master/garrysmod/gamemodes/base/entities/effects/tooltracer.lua]ToolTracer[/url] to see how to do it.

You'd need to just adjust how long it lasts and change your material, really.

Thanks, but found a better way to do what i wanted.

Question two:

local pos = ent:GetPos()ent:SetPos(Vector(pos.x+50, pos.y, pos.z))

This sets the vector x axis to be + 50 but it is not relative to where the entity already was.

How do you you alter the vector of an entity to be altered relative to it's angle? (ex: forward + 50)
I have tried [IMG]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/IMG] [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Entity/GetForward"]Entity:GetForward[/URL] but that did not seem to work.
[B][edit][/B]
Solved. Turns out the entity was trying to manipulate did not have it's pos set initially.

If anyone can help me with this:

local tbl = {"FirstString!","Another String!","Yet another!"}
local bah = {}
print(tbl[1])
print(tbl[2])
print(tbl[3])
bah[tbl[1]][tbl[2]] = tbl[3] -- < I Need help with this bit, I don't want to use table.insert
-- IS it even possible?
PrintTable(bah)

Is it possible for bah to be

FirstString!:
		Another String!	=	Yet another! 

?
Edit: I dont want to [u]Overwrite[/u] what was already in the table of bah[tbl[1]], Just to add tbl[2] = tbl[3] into it
Edit2: FIXED, by making sure bah[tbl[1]] was a table.

Would anyone know how I would go about splitting up a string into smaller strings?

I know about string.Explode( " ", lastsaid)

But if I was to type !kick "aaa bbb"

Would return a table with { "!kick", ""aaa", "bbb""}

But I need it to return {"!kick", "aaa bbb"}

Any ideas?

Explode by quotation marks? If not, pattern matching would do the job.

You're close.

I was just using !kick "aaa bbb" as an example, I'm going to use more than one string in the command which is why I needed to get every string out of it. So if I type !ban "name name" "reason reason"
, I could get a table with { "!ban", "name name", "reason reason"}

[QUOTE=Revenge282;48070152]Explode by quotation marks? If not, pattern matching would do the job.[/QUOTE]

Tried that and it returned something that would take a bit of work to make look right because of how it would split it. And I kinda knew I would have to use pattern matching but I have no idea how I would for what I want.

[QUOTE]If I wanted to draw a renderview on the player's viewmodel, would I need to use cam.Start2D or cam.Start2D3D?

edit: Ok what I'm actually doing is drawing on a texture that's on the player's viewmodel. I guess I need Start2D then?[/QUOTE]

Ugggh this is infuriating. Basically I'm replacing a texture on a viewmodel with a rendertarget and drawing a renderview in said rendertarget. The problem is that that the rendertarget is completely ignoring everything I do to it.*

function SWEP:DrawHud()
-- Note there is other crap in here but it's irrelevant to this.
if CLIENT then

		local mat

		mat:SetTexture( "$basetexture", self.RenderTarget )
		
	end
end


function SWEP:ViewModelDrawn( )
        -- And before you ask: Yes, this was originally from http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1079050 (the last post)
        
	local old
	
	old = render.GetRenderTarget( )
	
	render.SetRenderTarget( self.RenderTarget )
	render.SetViewPort( 0, 0, 64, 64 )
	render.Clear( 255, 255, 255, 255, true )
	
	local viewstats = {}
		viewstats.angles = self.Owner:EyeAngles()
		viewstats.origin = self.Owner:EyePos()
		viewstats.x = 0
		viewstats.y = 0
		viewstats.w = ScrW()
		viewstats.h = ScrH()
		viewstats.drawhud = false
		viewstats.drawviewmodel = false
		viewstats.fov = 45
	
	cam.Start2D()
		-- Note: I know for a fact that the surface draw color is not doing anything. I've tried other colors and it always comes back black.
                surface.SetDrawColor( color_black )
		surface.DrawRect( 0, 00, 64, 7 )
		surface.DrawRect( 0, 57, 64, 7 )
		render.RenderView(viewstats)

	cam.End2D()
	
	render.SetRenderTarget( old )
	render.SetViewPort( 0, 0, ScrW( ), ScrH( ) )
	
end

edit:
* And as a result is just replacing the texture with solid black. I know my renderview is working because I can draw it straight to my screen no problem.

If I've understood you correctly try changing your DoWeNeedDeath function:

[lua]
function GM:DoWeNeedDeath()

local rate = math.Clamp( GetConVarNumber( "dr_death_rate" ), 0.1, 0.9 )
local plys = #player.GetAll()

-- Insert this line below
if plys == 1 then return false end

local md = math.max( GetConVarNumber("dr_death_max"), 2 )

local num = #team.GetPlayers(TEAM_DEATH)
local need = math.floor(math.Clamp( plys * rate, 1, md ))
if num >= need then return false end
return true
end
[/lua]

For the second part of your question if it keeps ending the round with one player you may need to edit the think round function for ROUND_ACTIVE:

[lua]
[ROUND_ACTIVE] = function( gm )

-- snip

-- Guarding the block in this if statement will stop it running when there's only 1 player
if #player.GetAll() > 1 then
local numa = #GetAlivePlayersFromTeam( TEAM_RUNNER )
local numb = #GetAlivePlayersFromTeam( TEAM_DEATH )

if numa == 0 then
gm:SetRound( ROUND_ENDING, TEAM_DEATH )
elseif numb == 0 then
gm:SetRound( ROUND_ENDING, TEAM_RUNNER )
end
end

end

What's the best way to block the undoing of props?

I'm creating an undo as such:
[lua]
undo.Create( "ent" )
undo.AddEntity( ent )
undo.AddFunction( function( tab, arg2 )
-- Give cash back etc
end )
undo.SetPlayer( ply )
undo.Finish()
[/lua]

This works, however upon using the hook OnUndo it's not being called at all (client side).

[lua]
hook.Add( "OnUndo", "plyremovedprop", function(name)
print(name .. " Removed!")
end )
[/lua]

Another issue is that if a prop is removed with the remover tool, you can still undo a non existent entity. Is it possible to access the undo table at all?

Anyone know how to create a weapon entity that can't be picked up by players? Like, you know how when you create a SWEP, there's an entity with the same class name as it that is instantly picked up upon a player walking over it? Yeah, I want to prevent the "instant pick up upon walking over it" thing. This is the code I'm using right now(using it on a nextbot):

function ENT:GiveWeapon(wep)

local att = "anim_attachment_RH"
        local shootpos = self:GetAttachment(self:LookupAttachment(att))
        
        local wep = ents.Create(wep)
        wep:SetOwner(self)
        wep:SetPos(shootpos.Pos)
		
        wep:Spawn()
        
        wep:SetSolid(SOLID_NONE)
        
        
        wep:SetParent(self)

        wep:Fire("setparentattachment", "anim_attachment_RH")
        wep:AddEffects(EF_BONEMERGE)
        wep:SetAngles(self:GetForward():Angle())
		
Weap = wep
		
end
