[QUOTE=VIoxtar;47445333]Sorry, I was being unclear. By force limits, I meant constraint force limits, such as welds, ropes, and the like. How does a rope know when to tear, or how does a weld know when to break? Where can I find the code that handles these?[/QUOTE]

Those are written in C++ too. You may be able to find it on the Source SDK 2013 github repo though.

[QUOTE=Sheeplie;47445356]Now I'm trying to make it so that GM:OnPlayerChat, it will make the player's text red.

I've put this in addons/playerchat/lua/autorun/client

function GM:OnPlayerChat( player, text, bTeamOnly, bIsdead )

chat.AddText( player, ": ", Color( 192, 57, 43, 255 ), text ) 

end

I usually get an error saying that GM is a nil value.[/QUOTE]

GM:* functions are for GAMEMODES!

You must use hook.Add in addons:

[Sheeplie]

Okay, now is there any way to get rid of the old OnPlayerChat function? I'm using this on sandbox and when I speak this basically happens.

[del]Ok apparently client-side when I call a function that does a timer.Create(), 'Create' is thrown as nil. I originally had it set as a DoClick which threw it as nil, but if I place it outside of a function it works. What am I doing wrong or not seeing?[/del]

K I'm retarded. Had a var named timer that I didn't delete earlier. >.>

[QUOTE=Robotboy655;47445626]return true.[/QUOTE]

I'm not sure exactly what you mean.
I still gave it a shot with something, but I don't think I'm on the right page because it didn't work.
Sorry if I sound spoon-hungry, I would like to learn.

On the wiki pages, if you can return something to block a function in a hook it will be listed in "Returns" (since that will be returned by hook.Call)

Why doesnt this code work ?

if SERVER and tr.Hit and tr.HitNonWorld and IsValid(hitEnt) then
      if hitEnt:IsPlayer() then
         -- knife damage is never karma'd, so don't need to take that into
         -- account we do want to avoid rounding error strangeness caused by
         -- other damage scaling, causing a death when we don't expect one, so
         -- when the target's health is close to kill-point we just kill
         if hitEnt:Health() < (self.Primary.Damage + 10) then
            self:StabKill(tr, spos, sdest)
         else
            local dmg = DamageInfo()
            dmg:SetDamage(100)
            dmg:SetAttacker(self.Owner)
            dmg:SetInflictor(self.Weapon or self)
            dmg:SetDamageForce(self.Owner:GetAimVector() * 5)
            dmg:SetDamagePosition(self.Owner:GetPos())
            dmg:SetDamageType(DMG_SLASH)
			self.Owner:StripWeapon(self.Owner:GetActiveWeapon():GetClass())
            hitEnt:DispatchTraceAttack(dmg, spos + (self.Owner:GetAimVector() * 3), sdest)
         end
      end
   end

It shows no errors and is part of the TTT knife script, which can be found @ [url]https://github.com/garrynewman/garrysmod/blob/master/garrysmod/gamemodes/terrortown/entities/weapons/weapon_ttt_knife.lua[/url]
The part that doesnt work is the strip weapon.

I'm trying to make a simple third person HUD with 3d2d
When other players are on screen the 3d2d doubles and the double is on a different angle.
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/lbe3D7G.png[/IMG]
I'm not using HUDPaint yet because I wanted the default hud still usable when the third person hud is off.

I'm running this through the PostPlayerDraw hook.
I lock the hud to a bones position to make it follow the player.
I also have an angle offset to get the hud where i want it though and I wonder if that could cause some issues.
I have another function added to the hook as well for other player hp and armor.

My related variables and my cam.Start line

[Lua]local offset = Vector( 0, 0, -3 )
local AngOffset = Angle(5,-110,90)
local BonePos = ply:GetBonePosition( 4 )
local drawPos = BonePos + offset
local playAng =ply:GetAngles()
local drawAng =playAng + AngOffset

playAng:RotateAroundAxis(playAng:Up(), 270)
playAng:RotateAroundAxis(playAng:Forward(), 70)

cam.Start3D2D( drawPos + playAng:Up() * 16.5,drawAng, 0.2 )

You're rendering an HUD on your LocalPlayer every time [b]any[/b] player has been drawn. Of course you're going to be getting more HUDs drawn than you want! An easy solution is to use the player parameter passed to the PostPlayerDraw hook and check if it is LocalPlayer before drawing.

[Sonickblast]

-snip didnt read - (new to forum posting i think i did it right)

[Willox]

[QUOTE=Sonickblast;47448534]Oh ok I'll have to find another hook then. The only reason I wouldn't use HudPaint is because of needing the normal hud while not using third person (the addon can shut off hudpaint huds i think).[URL="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=108168164"]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=108168164[/URL][/QUOTE]

Looks like I edited my post a little too late.

"An easy solution is to use the player parameter passed to the PostPlayerDraw hook and check if it is LocalPlayer before drawing."

[Sonickblast]

I just realised I could of set ply in the function paramaters after I looked up the hook. Thanks for your help. I got what you meant now. The problem is fixed on both bits of the code(My hud and the hud showing other players hp and armor).

[Exho]

How would I go about making this crowbar invisible so its replacement can be seen? I'm using the SWEP Construction kit.

SWEP.ViewModel 				= "models/weapons/c_crowbar.mdl"
SWEP.WorldModel 			= "models/weapons/w_crowbar.mdl"
SWEP.ViewModelFlip			= false

SWEP.ShowViewModel 			= false
SWEP.ShowWorldModel 		= true
SWEP.ViewModelBoneMods = {}

SWEP.VElements = {
	["Hook"] = { type = "Model", model = "models/props_junk/meathook001a.mdl", bone = "ValveBiped.Bip01_R_Hand", rel = "", pos = Vector(5, 2, -7.87), angle = Angle(2, 75.973, -6), size = Vector(0.5, 0.5, 0.5), color = Color(255, 255, 255, 255), surpresslightning = false, material = "", skin = 0, bodygroup = {} }
}

If you arent rendering your hook model in the viewmodel SWEP hook, you can use [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Player/DrawViewModel]Player:DrawViewModel[/url].

I'm going to assume your are so instead you should be able to vm:SetMaterial( "engine/occlusionproxy" ) in PreDrawViewModel.
