What model path do I use when I am trying to put spawning a vehicle that is from an addon? Do I have to copy it to my gamemode's content or is there a way to point to the addons folder?

[QUOTE=James xX;48307686]I'm using render.RenderView() to render to a render target, but for some reason it draws some things (pictured below) to the screen.

Does it still happen if you remove render.Clear or try setting with 5th argument (clearDepth) to true or false?

Not a solution to your problem but you can turn your first 4 lines into 1, and the last 2 lines into 1 by using [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/render/PushRenderTarget]render.PushRenderTarget[/url]

Is there a way to get the damageinfo from PlayerDeath? The Source equivalent, PlayerKilled, passes it as the second argument, and the inflictor and attacker are extracted from there.

Guys, I'm having a problem with numpad.Register and numpad.OnDown that I can't figure out.

The entity is created on a tool with this code:

function CreateEntity( pl, pos, ang, key )

local prop = ents.Create( "prop_test" )

  prop:SetPos(pos)
  prop:SetAng(ang)
  numpad.OnDown( pl, key, "SpawnProp", prop )

end

Then, on the entity located at "entities/prop_test/init.lua" is like this:

local function PropSpawn( ply, ent )
        print( "key pressed" )
	ent:Spawn()
        ent:Activate()
end

numpad.Register( "SpawnProp", PropSpawn )

But it don't work, it don't print nothing and keeps telling "Unknown command: +gm_special"
Any tips why or how to make this work ?

I tried making pointshop register the weekday and change the points awarded according to that.
For some reason, it doesn't work, but constantly gives 15 points even on normal weekdays.
(And it isn't due to timezones, it awarded 15 points on a Tuesday)

if string.lower(os.date("%A")) == "friday" or "saturday" or "sunday" then -- If it's the weekend,
	PS.Config.PointsOverTimeAmount = 15 -- Set the points / minute to 15 (50% increase)
else PS.Config.PointsOverTimeAmount = 10 -- else, the normal, 10
end

Thanks, Author. Used to Python xD

That's not how the or statement works in Lua, this is how you would do it,

[lua]local day = string.lower(os.date("%A")) -- localize the day

local happydays = {
["friday"] = true, -- friday should be more points
["saturday"] = true, -- this day as well
["sunday"] = true,
["monday"] = false, -- this shouldnt
}

if happydays[day] then -- If happydays["friday"] is true, then continue
PS.Config.PointsOverTimeAmount = 15 -- Set the points / minute to 15 (50% increase)
else
PS.Config.PointsOverTimeAmount = 10 -- else, the normal, 10
end[/lua]

Rarity system.

I need math help with it.

Currently I'm making a weapon exchange machine, and you get a gun of equal or greater rarity depending on how many guns you put in and what their rarity was. At the moment, rarity is defined by price.

Can I get a hint as to what operations I should be doing to a huge number (let's say, 34,000, which comes from around 3 guns) to split it into 4 percentages?

e.g. if it [I]was[/I] 34,000, then something like
a = 10%
b = 15%
c = 25%
d = 50%

I've been out of the loop for a while, I just have a small question, what is the current MySql module that is used these days, last time I used one it was MySqloo iirc. Thanks.

[zerf]

tmysql4 > mysqloo

[TheDoggy]

Hmm, I knew it wouldn't be ez pz, I'm having a hard time even connecting (I think) the DB and doing a simple query, I know the tmysql page has an example, but that doesn't seem to work, I'm unsure of what I'm doing wrong.

db = tmysql.initialize("localhost", "root", "uwishm8", "test", 3306)

function test(r)
	print("success")
	PrintTable(r[1].data)
end

db:Query("SELECT * FROM player_data", test)

edit: shit, it's not because I have to be on the server right?!
edit2: I think it is, I deserve some boxes probably :)

Make sure you check the validity of the ViewModel before using it.

[Shadico]

[QUOTE=code_gs;48317436]Make sure you check the validity of the ViewModel before using it.[/QUOTE]

If you mean that I'm using the proper view model, yes, the SWEP works fine in single player, but self.Owner:GetViewModel() is only a clientside command, so on a server (which I made the SWEPs for) it spams that error for random users at random intervals The SWEP works exactly as it should otherwise, bodygroups and all. Robotboy said to add "if CLIENT then end" in the code, and I just want to know where exactly I need to put it if that's the case.

No. Set GetViewModel to a variable and check if it is valid with IsValid.

[QUOTE=code_gs;48317645]No. Set GetViewModel to a variable and check if it is valid with IsValid.[/QUOTE]

Something like this...?

function SWEP:Deploy()
    if CLIENT and IsValid(self.Owner:GetViewModel()) then
	self.Owner:GetViewModel():SetBodygroup(1, 1)
	self:SendWeaponAnim(ACT_VM_DRAW)
		self:SetBodygroup(1, 1)
      return true
	 end
end
function SWEP:Holster()
     if CLIENT and IsValid(self.Owner:GetViewModel()) then
	self.Owner:GetViewModel():SetBodygroup(1, 0)
		self:SetBodygroup(1, 0)

This did pretty much the exact opposite of fix it. Technically, the errors don't appear anymore, but now whenever you draw a SWEP with that code in it, you can't put it away unless you die, and the bodygroups don't appear (which is probably why the errors are gone.)

Any suggestions?

What you are after is probably a "weighted random".

[url=http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1761626/weighted-random-numbers]The first stackoverflow link[/url] ( if you have an account, make sure to upvote helpful answers and good questions! ).

The idea is this:

For each item in your set, sum their combined weight ( rarity ).
Generate a random number between 0 and your sum
Iterate over the set and subtract the weight from the sum until you reach an item that has a weight greater than the sum - that is your item.

Made sure of that, now the weapon functions normally but the bodygroups don't show up on the v_model.

I love you. Thank you so much.

Would there be a better way to decide the percentages other than

if amt >= 30000 then
    garbage = 0
    common = 50
    exotic = 30
    legendary = 20
elseif amt >= 20000 then
    garbage = ...

-- continue large elif block

I don't think you can. What you'd need to do is resize the ragdoll's physics objects. Otherwise, if you just scaled the bones down visually, like you're trying to do with SetModelScale and that sort of thing, they'd still collide with everything and be spaced apart from each other as if they were still normal-sized, like you just used the inflator tool on them.

The [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=470366741"]Ragdoll Resizer tool[/URL] on the workshop pulls this off by creating entirely new physics objects with Entity:PhysicsInitConvex() and then constraining them together with [URL="https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Phys_ragdollconstraint"]phys_ragdollconstraint[/URL] entities (also known as ball socket constraints), but this can't be done with clientside ragdolls, because as far as I can tell, there's no way to create a clientside constraint using Lua.
