include("tr_allowed_entities.lua")

hook.Add( "OnEntityCreated", "tr_SetColCheck", function(ent)
	if trunk_entities[ent:GetClass()] then
		ent:SetCustomCollisionCheck(true)
		ent:SetNWBool("tr_Storable",true)
	end
end )

	if (ent2:IsVehicle() and ent1:GetNWBool("tr_Storable")) then 
		ent1:Remove()

end )

I'm trying to remove entities that touch a car. The thing is, without them even touching they get removed if the car comes near them. How could I fix that? I want it to remove them only when it really colides.[/QUOTE]

You should use the Collision entity callback on the vehicle.

[QUOTE=James xX;48422471]You should use the Collision entity callback on the vehicle.[/QUOTE]

Tried that too.

It never prints "its okay".

[QUOTE=Mista Tea;48420706]So, this has been plaguing me forever.

I have a MySQL server with a schema whose default Collation is [B]utf8[/B]. All of my tables and columns are also set to [B]utf8[/B]. I use the [B]MySQLOO [/B]module that was picked up by Kingofbeast a while back.

Anyway, if some text like "[B]( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)[/B]" gets stored in the database via Lua, it gets stored as "[B]( ••Â° ͜ʖ ••Â°)[/B]".
Displaying that text on a webpage via PHP will print out ( ••Â° ͜ʖ ••Â°) instead of ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

However, if I directly insert ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) into the MySQL database, it gets [B]stored [/B]as ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) and [B]displays [/B]as ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) on a PHP webpage.

I don't know if I am running into problems described in this [URL="http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaUnicode"]lua-users wiki page about unicode in Lua[/URL] or if I am making a simple mistake. I really don't have a good understanding of character sets.
Has anyone else already dealt with this issue? Is there anything I can do about it?[/QUOTE]

Please use utf8mb4 or you won't be able to store 4-byte UTF-8 sequences.

[Mista Tea]

[QUOTE=!cake;48422673]Please use utf8mb4 or you won't be able to store 4-byte UTF-8 sequences.[/QUOTE]

Every single query I did when my tables were using utf8mb4 took up to 4-5 seconds to complete asynchronously, compared to the usual milliseconds with utf8.

Is there anyway to get the angles of the world underneath an entity? I'm currently using a trace to get the position but I'd like the angle of the surface.

[QUOTE=Ronon Dex;48423645]Is there anyway to get the angles of the world underneath an entity? I'm currently using a trace to get the position but I'd like the angle of the surface.[/QUOTE]

Something like this?

tr.HitNormal:Angle()

How do I fix this DModelPanel? :(

	local ModelPanel = vgui.Create( "DModelPanel", itemdisplay )
	ModelPanel:SetPos( 0,0 )
	ModelPanel:SetSize( itemdisplay:GetSize() )
	ModelPanel:SetModel( "models/weapons/w_eq_incendiarygrenade.mdl" )
	local mn, mx = ModelPanel.Entity:GetRenderBounds()
	local size = 0
	size = math.max( size, math.abs(mn.x) + math.abs(mx.x) )
	size = math.max( size, math.abs(mn.y) + math.abs(mx.y) )
	size = math.max( size, math.abs(mn.z) + math.abs(mx.z) )
	ModelPanel:SetFOV( 45 )
	ModelPanel:SetCamPos( Vector( size, size, size ) )

How do I fix this DModelPanel? :([/QUOTE]

By either giving each model a preset fov, objcet offset and camera position or making a better algorithm to generate all 3.

No idea really. Does anyone have anything that works? My code should work though

Okay, so I'm working on a SWEP, and I'm using a custom reload code.

function SWEP:Think()	

	self.Weapon:ReloadThink()
	
	if self:GetNextIdle() ~= 0 and self:GetNextIdle() < CurTime() then
		self:SendWeaponAnim( ACT_VM_IDLE )
		self:SetNextIdle( 0 )
	end
	
	 if !self:Sprinting() and self.Owner:KeyDown(IN_SPEED) and self.Owner:GetVelocity():Length() > self.Owner:GetWalkSpeed() then --if self.Owner:KeyDown( bit.bor(IN_FORWARD,IN_BACK,IN_MOVELEFT,IN_MOVERIGHT) ) and self.Owner:KeyDown( IN_SPEED ) and !self:Sprinting() then
		
		if self:GetNWBool( "IronSights" ) then
		
			self:SetNWBool( "IronSights", false )
			
			if SERVER then
		
				self.Owner:SetFOV( 0, 0.50 )
		
			end
		
		end
		
		self:SetSprinting( true )
		
	elseif self:Sprinting() and !self.Owner:KeyDown(IN_SPEED) or self:Sprinting() and self.Owner:GetVelocity():Length() <= self.Owner:GetWalkSpeed() then--elseif !self.Owner:KeyDown( bit.bor(IN_FORWARD,IN_BACK,IN_MOVELEFT,IN_MOVERIGHT) ) and self:Sprinting() then
		
		self:SetSprinting( false )
		
	end
	
end

function SWEP:Reload()
	
	if self.Weapon:Clip1() == self.Primary.ClipSize then return end
	self.Weapon:DoReload()
	
end

function SWEP:DoReload()

	if self.ReloadTime then return end
	
	if self:GetNWBool( "IronSights" ) == true then self:SetNWBool( "IronSights", false ) if SERVER then self.Owner:SetFOV( 0, 0.50 ) end end

	local time = self.Weapon:StartWeaponAnim( ACT_VM_RELOAD )
	
	if self.Reloading == false then self.Reloading = true end
	
	self.Weapon:SetNextPrimaryFire( CurTime() + time + 0.100 )
	
	self.ReloadTime = CurTime() + time
	
	self:SetNextIdle( CurTime() + time )

end

function SWEP:ReloadThink()

	if self.ReloadTime and self.ReloadTime <= CurTime() then
	
		self.ReloadTime = nil
		if self.Reloading == true then self.Reloading = false end
		self.Weapon:SetClip1( self.Primary.ClipSize )
	
	end

end

function SWEP:StartWeaponAnim( anim )
		
	if IsValid( self.Owner ) then
	
		local vm = self.Owner:GetViewModel()
	
		local idealSequence = self:SelectWeightedSequence( anim )
		local nextSequence = self:FindTransitionSequence( self.Weapon:GetSequence(), idealSequence )

		if nextSequence > 0 then
		
			vm:SendViewModelMatchingSequence( nextSequence )
			
		else
		
			vm:SendViewModelMatchingSequence( idealSequence )
			
		end

		return vm:SequenceDuration( vm:GetSequence() )
		
	end	
	
end

But, I realized I just made a [b][i]fatal[/i][/b] error.

function SWEP:ReloadThink()

	if self.ReloadTime and self.ReloadTime <= CurTime() then
	
		self.ReloadTime = nil
		if self.Reloading == true then self.Reloading = false end
		self.Weapon:SetClip1( self.Primary.ClipSize )
	
	end

end

I forgot to set the reserve ammunition that the player has. Now, I know how to do this, but I don't know what I'd use to set the reserve ammunition just like DefaultReload does.... It's hard to explain but someone might as well know... help?

Is there anyway to get date/time creation of a txt file inside data after it's been made? I know I could write os.time()/os.date to the file itself which I'm probably gonna do but curious if there'd be another way

[Kogitsune]

Not that I can see - the only thing we have exposed is the last modified time.

[NiandraLades]

I just updated my server and I'm getting a segmentation fault upon starting the servers now. Any idea?

[editline]11th August 2015[/editline]

/home/steam/gmodserver/srcds_run: 1: /home/steam/gmodserver/srcds_run: gdb: not found
OS is Linux. Why am I getting this since the new update?

[editline]11th August 2015[/editline]

installed gdb again, now I'm getting this error:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
BFD: Warning: /home/steam/gmodserver/core is truncated: expected core file size >= 243343360, found: 1245184.

Fixed.
You need to copy steamcmd linux32 folder to your servers/bin folder.

I saw in the patch notes that the render.Capture() bug where it couldn't capture larger than the client's screen resolution was fixed. I am probably doing something horribly wrong, but does anyone know why won't this work?

concommand.Add( "rt_test", function()

    local tw, th = 2048, 2048
    local newrt = GetRenderTarget( "test_rt", tw, th, false )

    hook.Add( "HUDPaint", "TestRenderTarget", function()
        local oldw, oldh = ScrW(), ScrH()

        render.PushRenderTarget( newrt )
            render.SetViewPort( 0, 0, tw, th )
                cam.Start2D()
                    render.Clear( 0, 0, 0, 255 )

                    local data = render.Capture( {
                        format = "jpeg",
                        quality = "100",
                        x = 0,
                        y = 0,
                        w = tw,
                        h = th,
                    } )

                cam.End2D()
            render.SetViewPort( 0, 0, oldw, oldh )
        render.PopRenderTarget()


        if not data then print( "Nope" ) end


        hook.Remove( "HUDPaint", "TestRenderTarget" )
    end )

end )

It fails if either dimension is larger than my screen resolution.

Having an issue with a few playermodels I've recently been retexturing.

For some reason in game the models get randomly dark and bright. It's really odd and I was told it may have to do with the VMTs or even how I imported the VTFs but I am not sure.

[Voluptious]

How do I remove Derma_DrawBackgroundBlur() after I have called it?

I have it in a main DFrame:Paint() function but when I remove the DFrame the blur stays, how do I get rid of it again?
Ive tried to remove it both with DFrame:Remove() and with the X button but it doesnt go away.

[Mooda Looda]

DFrame:SetBackgroundBlur( false ) :P

[Voluptious]

[QUOTE=Mooda Looda;48441133]DFrame:SetBackgroundBlur( false ) :P[/QUOTE]

Wouldnt that only affect DFrame:SetBackgroundBlur(true)?

Doesnt work anyways, tried DFrame.OnClose = function() and function PANEL:OnClose(), nether worked with your suggestion.

[Mooda Looda]

This is more of a question than a problem.

So, is there any advantage of using [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Entity/DispatchTraceAttack]Entity:DispatchTraceAttack[/url] as compared to my current melee code? I noticed TTT uses in it their knife code.

My code:

	self:EmitSound( "weapons/knife/knife_slash"..math.random( 1, 2 )..".wav" )

	local tracedata = {}
	
	tracedata.start		= self.Owner:GetShootPos()
	tracedata.endpos	= self.Owner:GetShootPos() + self.Owner:GetAimVector() * 75
	tracedata.filter	= self.Owner
	tracedata.mins		= Vector( -8, -8, -8 )
	tracedata.macs		= Vector( 8, 8, 8 )
	
	if ( self.Owner:IsPlayer() ) then
	
		self.Owner:LagCompensation( true )
		
	end
	
	local tr = util.TraceHull( tracedata )
	
	if tr.Hit then
	
		self:EmitSound( "weapons/knife/knife_hit"..math.random( 1, 4 )..".wav" )
	
	end
	
	if IsValid( tr.Entity ) then
	
		self:SendWeaponAnim( ACT_VM_HITCENTER )
		
	else
	
		self:SendWeaponAnim( ACT_VM_MISSCENTER )
	
	end
	
	if tr.Hit and tr.HitNonWorld and IsValid( tr.Entity ) then
	
		if tr.Entity:IsNPC() then
	
			local dmg = DamageInfo()
		
			dmg:SetAttacker( self.Owner )
		
			dmg:SetInflictor( self )
		
			dmg:SetDamage( 46 )
		
			dmg:SetDamageType( DMG_SLASH )
		
			tr.Entity:TakeDamageInfo( dmg )
		
		end
	
	end
	
	if ( self.Owner:IsPlayer() ) then
	
		self.Owner:LagCompensation( false )
	
	end

This is in a primary attack func, btw.

Can someone explain to me why this code isn't working in the PlayerSPawn hook?

This is supposed to prevent the player from spawning until they use the character creation menu.
It isn't giving me errors and it prints 0 when I run the "print(ply.HasJoined)".

Code:
[lua]
--Prevent player from spawning if they have not joined recently
print(ply.HasJoined)
if ply.HasJoined == 0 then
print(ply.HasJoined)
umsg.Start( "cc", ply )
umsg.End()
end
[/lua]

Edit ----------------------

Solved I am a idiot I forgot it returned a string value.

Seems like you are calling this function without arguments.

Derma_DrawBackgroundBlur(YourPanel, 0)

Stupid question, but how would you kill an NPC within Lua?

Why not? I could have sworn I read in the update thread that he made them just as efficient as nets in one of the past updates?

Plus I am only using that to load one simple function on the client.
