[QUOTE=Gamz365;48101557]Why do my dmodelpanels look like this after the recent gmod update? They used to show the model, but after the update they are like this. No code has changed.

Anyone know how I would set the font of the text on a DButton? I know of [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/DLabel/SetFont]DLabel:SetFont()[/url], but it supposedly only works on DLabels. Would I use DButton:GetText():SetFont()?

Hi, my server has been running into problems by hitting the entity limit. After checking report_entities a few times, we are up to 2000 entities at around 3 hours up time with 38 - 42 players. Everything looks fine except for Class: info_target which just keeps going up and up and will not stop. How can I solve this? As of right now its at Class: info_target (680)

DButton derives from DLabel so you'd just do DButton:SetFont()

I have a question regarding the Pointshop.

I would like to change the Data Provider of the Pointshop from 'pdata' to 'data'. Is there any way I can convert it without any extra software? (I don't have anything MySQL-related.)

Or does just changing it automatically transfer all the data?

[crazyscouter]

PData is a meta function and saves to sv.db. You would have to change the loading and saving to use the file library instead.

Question: Thanks to ViewModelFOV + FOV, anything drawn in world coordinates, or local to player coordinates, based on the supposed ViewModel position, will not line up properly with the actual ViewModel. Is there a solution to this? If I get the muzzle, and create a sprite, is there a way to guarantee it will draw on the muzzle at any FOV / ViewModelFOV?

having this issue with drawing halos on viewmodels as well. the only way you can fix it is by setting the viewmodel fov to the player fov, or by doing some hacky cam.Start3D() shit and rendering it in that instance with the viewmodel fov as the camera fov

Rendering in a 3D Camera space actually makes a lot of sense though. I think I'm gonna toss a try at that. I have very...devious plans for this. Maybe.

Im using a for loop to get all the model string paths for the darkrp RPExtraTeams table but I have a problem with all of the outputs. When I print all the models I get this

table: 0x2a1936c0
table: 0x43e70850
table: 0x33ee0b78
models/player/gman_high.mdl
models/player/monk.mdl
models/player/kleiner.mdl
models/player/combine_soldier_prisonguard.mdl
models/player/breen.mdl
models/player/corpse1.mdl

and for some reason I dont know why its outputting table: 0x2a1936c0
table: 0x43e70850
table: 0x33ee0b78

How can I resolve this? Im using the table to create DModel panels so of course its going to error because it's not returning string model paths alone...

It means the member is a table. You can print it using PrintTable.

Trying to make a sound play only once when I hover over the DModelPanal(icon)
but for it to see it's being hovered I have a think hook. but now it just destroys my ears when I hover over it.

local function Think()
if icon:IsHovered() then
	sound.Play( "garrysmod/content_downloaded.wav", Vector( 110, 110, 110 ),  75)

Looks like the memory address for the items in the table, so like James said you can use PrintTable and it will print out the table contents instead.

Take a look at bone positions of the view model?

[MegaTronJohn]

Does anyone know how I would modify my weapon's world model's position and angle? Since my weapon is just a crotch gun(it's ported from a game with different rigging for player models and stuff so it isn't meant for the default HL2 skeleton so it stays in the crotch), I want to bonemerge it to my player's right hand and set it's angles to my player's angles. How would I do this with WEAPON:DrawWorldModel?

[Kogitsune]

SWEP.Offset = {
	Pos = {
		Right = 0,
		Forward = 0,
		Up = 0,
	},
	Ang = {
		Right = 0,
		Forward = 0,
		Up = 0,
	},
}

function SWEP:DrawWorldModel( )
	if not IsValid( self.Owner ) then
		return self:DrawModel( )
	end
	
	local offset, hand
	
	self.Hand2 = self.Hand2 or self.Owner:LookupAttachment( "anim_attachment_rh" )
	
	hand = self.Owner:GetAttachment( self.Hand2 )
	
	if not hand then
		return
	end
	
	offset = hand.Ang:Right( ) * self.Offset.Pos.Right + hand.Ang:Forward( ) * self.Offset.Pos.Forward + hand.Ang:Up( ) * self.Offset.Pos.Up
	
	hand.Ang:RotateAroundAxis( hand.Ang:Right( ), self.Offset.Ang.Right )
	hand.Ang:RotateAroundAxis( hand.Ang:Forward( ), self.Offset.Ang.Forward )
	hand.Ang:RotateAroundAxis( hand.Ang:Up( ), self.Offset.Ang.Up )
	
	self:SetRenderOrigin( hand.Pos + offset )
	self:SetRenderAngles( hand.Ang )
	
	self:DrawModel( )
end

Adjust Pos and Ang as desired - figure out your angle first and then work on position.

Yeah I am interested to know this also, I'll look into it. as for now I would recommend looking at the stuff in the [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=153130501"]SWEP Construction Kit[/URL]. That is a steam guide explaining how to use it. hope that helps at all.

Does anyone know why team.GetColor() returns the yellow for all teams even though I've set it in the shared.lua?

I am calling team.GetColor() on the client but that shouldn't be a issue since I am calling this in the shared.lua.

This is how the CreateTeams function looks:
[lua]
function GM:CreateTeams()

TEAM_BLUE = 1
team.SetUp( TEAM_BLUE, "Blue Team", Color( 0, 0, 255, 255 ), true )
team.SetSpawnPoint( TEAM_BLUE, "ai_hint" )

end

Hello, I'm a lua newbie, and I have a problem with my swep.

I use a c shotgun model, and I want it to load shells 1 by 1, but it loads them all at 1 time, like a magazine. My code.

I'm just a newbie, please don't attack me, or tell me this is obvius.

Hey I actually have a question as well that I've been working on with a few people(Acecool and another person on my friends list).
I wanted to created a function that searches through players and npcs, then selects one of them to be
set as a target for the searching player. I've got some code of something that works now but it doesnt
always work. Sometimes it'll select Worldspawn instead of an NPC or a player/bot.

function FindTargetFunc()
	local targets = ents.FindInCone( LocalPlayer():GetPos(), LocalPlayer():GetForward(), 650, 45 )
	local me = LocalPlayer()

	for i = 1, #targets do
		if ( targets[i]:IsPlayer() ) then
			me.SelectedTarget = targets[i/#targets+1];
			print( me.SelectedTarget )
			net.Start( "SendTargetEntity" )
				net.WriteEntity( me.SelectedTarget )
			net.SendToServer()
		elseif ( targets[i]:IsNPC() ) then
			me.SelectedTarget = targets[i/#targets+1];
			print( me.SelectedTarget )
			net.Start( "SendTargetEntity" )
				net.WriteEntity( me.SelectedTarget )
			net.SendToServer()
		else
			return false;
		end
	end
end

Acecool had told me that using ents.FindInCone was really expensive, and I tried using a util.TraceLine but that yielded no results.

One last thing I should mention, this is all clientside.

Use LocalPlayer():GetEyeTrace().Entity. But, you'll have to change some code. Because ents.FindInCone can return multiple entities and GetEyeTrace only returns one entity, you'll have to change the code to set one enemy instead of looping through the table of found entities.

[lua]function FindTargetFunc()
local target = LocalPlayer():GetEyeTrace().Entity
local me = LocalPlayer()

if IsValid( target ) then

print(target)

net.Start( "SendTargetEntity" )

net.WriteEntity( target )

else

return false;

end[/lua]

Untested but should work fine.

Missing EOF (end). And you're missing net.SendToServer().

function FindTargetFunc()
	local ply = LocalPlayer()
	local target = ply:GetEyeTrace().Entity

	if IsValid( target ) then

	          net.Start( "SendTargetEntity" )
	          	net.WriteEntity( target )
	          net.SendToServer()
