Yes I understand this, I have something like this.

------------------------------ Build Mode ------------------------------
function ulx.build( calling_ply, target_plys, should_revoke )
	if not target_plys[ 1 ]:IsValid() then
		if not should_revoke then
			Msg( "You are the console, you are already god.\n" )
		else
			Msg( "Your position of god is irrevocable; if you don't like it, leave the matrix.\n" )
		end
		return
	end

	local affected_plys = {}
	for i=1, #target_plys do
		local v = target_plys[ i ]

		if ulx.getExclusive( v, calling_ply ) then
			ULib.tsayError( calling_ply, ulx.getExclusive( v, calling_ply ), true )
		else
			if not should_revoke then
				v:GodEnable()
				v.ULXHasGod = true
			else
				v:GodDisable()
				v.ULXHasGod = nil
			end
			table.insert( affected_plys, v )
		end
	end

	if not should_revoke then
		ulx.fancyLogAdmin( calling_ply, "#A enabled build mode upon #T", affected_plys )
	else
		ulx.fancyLogAdmin( calling_ply, "#A disabled build mode from #T", affected_plys )
	end
end
hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "ulx.build", ulx.build )   -----------------------------------------------------------------------Added this----------------------------------------------
local build = ulx.command( CATEGORY_NAME, "ulx build", ulx.build, "!build" )
build:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.PlayersArg, ULib.cmds.optional }
build:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.BoolArg, invisible=true }
build:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN )
build:help( "Enables build mode." )
build:setOpposite( "ulx buildoff", {_, _, true}, "!buildoff" )

You can see what I tried adding to make it work, but it looks like it hasn't. Once I get the godmode enabled when they join I will reword it to !pvp
Any suggestions to get this to work? Thanks
Thanks for your help.

[FireArrow133]

You're invoking a function without the necessary variables. You can just do

hook.Add("PlayerInitialSpawn", "GodmodeEnableOnSpawn", function(ply)
ply:GodEnable()
end)

If you want to make it use the command, I can work something out.

Thanks, I don't really understand hooks, If you have a place for documentation on it that would really cool. Still having trouble loading godmode on spawn? Where should this hook.add be?

EDIT: You should call hook.Add outside of the ulx.block function as it won't run unless !build is actually called

Thanks, you are being extremely helpful, I know its hard to work with people like me. :D.

But I am still having trouble here. Heres my hook.Add function

I have no problem clarifying issues for people. I have to ask people to clarify stuff they need, so I guess I can return the favor.

You're attempting to call ULXHasGod as a function instead of a variable. It should be "ply.ULXHasGod = true".

Oh shoot, that was a misstype, My edit above shows what I am using. Still not working though.
Here is my process to test.
I edit my file , restart gmod, make single player, fly up in the air drop down and take dmg, I do !build fly up take and take no fall dmg.

So if the hook.Add looks correct and I think I have it in the right place. Not sure what's going wrong here.

[FireArrow133]

Shoot, this is stunning me.

Try replacing your hook with this

hook.Add("PlayerInitialSpawn", "GodmodeEnableOnSpawn", function(ply)
	ulx.build( nil, {ply}, false )
end )

I don't know man, I tried all these solutions and none of them are working. I even edited the command name to check if my edits were making it through and they are. For some reason this hook.add is being a pain. Thanks for your help but I don't know what to do next.

Edit: Btw this file is located at garrysmod\addons\ulx\lua\ulx\modules\sh\Stranger's_Modules.lua

[B][U]Edit2: Okay, so I determined the problem to be with PlayerInitialSpawn, If I do it as PlayerSpawn it works the first time I connect but it also works every time I die which is not what I want. So now that we determined the problem do you have any solutions?
[/U][/B]

Edit3: From Gmod Wiki: [QUOTE]Please note that this hook is called before the player has fully loaded. For example, trying to use the Entity:GetModel function will return the default model ("player/default.mdl") (It calls when the player is still seeing the 'Sending Client Info' screen)[/QUOTE]
I know it would be ugly but should I just put:

hook.Add( "PlayerSpawn", "GodmodeEnabledOnSpawn", function(ply)
     if ply:Frags() == 0 and ply:Deaths() == 0 then
          ply:GodEnable()
          ply.ULXHasGod = true
     end
end)

Thanks again.

[StrangerDang]

Okay, well I finished it up if anyone is interested or has any ideas for improvements. It will set a player to godmode when they join and can type !pvp to disable godmode and !build to enable god mode there after.
This module works pretty well with apples anti no clip killing addon that will block damage from someone who has godmode. Can be found here: [url]http://forums.ulyssesmod.net/index.php/topic,8112.html[/url]

When player has no weapons, GetOwner of the first weapon you pickup detects you as NULL Entity on deploy. Is this normal?

[editline]7th August 2015[/editline]

Happens only if SWEP.Primary.ClipSize is set to -1
I still don't think that's normal

For awhile now I've had this issue where a very small group of people crash as soon as they spawn into my server when player counts are high (60+), but only if they don't join another server or start a single player game first. I'm really at a loss as to what it could be, any ideas?

It does, you're just using the keyvalues of the entire table instead of the current value.

		for k, v in pairs(GoldBarsLarge) do
			local bar = ents.Create("prop_dynamic")
			bar:SetModel("models/gml/gold_bar_large.mdl")
			bar:SetPos(v[1])
			bar:SetAngles(v[2])
			bar:Spawn()
		end

This should work.

[MysteryPancake]

What's the difference between using ents.CreateClientsideProp() and using ClientModel() or ClientRagdoll()?

Is it possible to have a trail with user-defined text, like the lol trail?
I suppose it isn't, since it would need a .vmt?

Oh, and I added CS:S weapons to my server, but the maps didn't seem to spawn them, yet it works in SP.
Should the files be in /addons (like the workshop page suggests, but doesn't spawn them), or add the weapon lua files to /lua/weapons?

[/QUOTE]

Well you've got another table inside of the table you're referencing. In your SetPos call,

GoldBarsLarge[1]

is equal to a table. What I believe you should do is

GoldBarsLarge[k][1]

Then do the same for SetAngles, obviously replacing '1' with '2'. That should work.

[Alig96]

I've been brainstorming some ideas and was thinking the best way of smoothing out transitions (such as colour fading & moving panels around)

Is this the best practise to doing so? Since this would be called in a draw hook I feel as though its inefficient

[lua]
local StartValue, EndValue = 0, 255
local Delay = 5

local StartTime = CurTime()
local EndTime = StartTime + Delay

Lerp(StartTime / EndTime, StartValue, EndValue)
[/lua]

[Kogitsune]

val = math.Approach( val, target, delta * speed )

or

val = Lerp( math.min( 1, ( CurTime( ) - start ) / ( endtime - start ) ), startval, endval )

Both of these end up with a linear transition, so you'd have to look into easing if you don't want that.

[Mooda Looda]

So, I'm using Garry's ironsight code for a SWEP I'm making. But, there is one thing I want to add.

I want to make it so that, if a different NW bool is set, then it will go into a "sprint position". Now, because I suck with GetViewModelPosition, I'll need a bit of help changing the code a bit to move to a different position depending on the bool, heh...

For anyone who doesn't know Garry's ironsight code, this is what I'm using:

local IRONSIGHT_TIME = 0.15
-- Time to enter in the ironsight mod

function SWEP:GetViewModelPosition(pos, ang)

        if ( not self.IronSightsPos ) then return pos, ang end

        local bIron = self.Weapon:GetNWBool( "Ironsights" )

        if (bIron != self.bLastIron) then
                self.bLastIron = bIron
                self.fIronTime = CurTime()

                if (bIron) then
                        self.SwayScale  = 0.3
                        self.BobScale   = 0.1
                else
                        self.SwayScale  = 1.0
                        self.BobScale   = 1.0
                end
        end

        local fIronTime = self.fIronTime or 0

        if ( not bIron and fIronTime < CurTime() - IRONSIGHT_TIME ) then
                return pos, ang
        end

        local Mul = 1.0

        if ( fIronTime > CurTime() - IRONSIGHT_TIME ) then
                Mul = math.Clamp( ( CurTime() - fIronTime ) / IRONSIGHT_TIME, 0, 1 )

                if not bIron then Mul = 1 - Mul end
        end

        local Offset    = self.IronSightsPos

        if ( self.IronSightsAng ) then
                ang = ang * 1
                ang:RotateAroundAxis( ang:Right(),               self.IronSightsAng.x * Mul )
                ang:RotateAroundAxis( ang:Up(),          self.IronSightsAng.y * Mul )
                ang:RotateAroundAxis( ang:Forward(),     self.IronSightsAng.z * Mul )
        end

        local Right     = ang:Right()
        local Up                = ang:Up()
        local Forward   = ang:Forward()

        pos = pos + Offset.x * Right * Mul
        pos = pos + Offset.y * Forward * Mul
        pos = pos + Offset.z * Up * Mul

        return pos, ang
		
end
