[QUOTE=LUModder;47454196]How can I get if an entity is not inside a box

In entitytakedamage hook return damage if they are in circle (use distance, don't do the for loop), else return no DMG

Wayyyy more efficient

Will this effect godmode options at all?

Ye Anon, does it? I mean.. Really? To the point, its a bit tricky but not impossible. You have a few options here. The first is to use godmode and god everyone who isnt in the box and revoke it to anyone who enters (Not hard, just not the best). The second is to do what you are doing. The way I would approach it is when an entity takes damage, get all entities in the box. If the list contains both players, then both players are inside the box. Its a tiny bit expensive since every time a player takes damage you need to do the check but the performance difference should be negligible.

Which is why instead for looping if everyone is in the sphere, when a player is attacked, check if the player taking damage is within a distance from the origin of the sphere, if yes, allow damage, else don't allow damage. Also, if you want it so both players have to be in the sphere to take damage(which I assume, its logical), just do the same distance check with the attacker

This might work. I'm on my phone so can't test

local sphere = { ["pos"] = Vector(100,100,0), ["size"] = 50 }
hook.Add("EntityTakeDamage", "LUModder", function( vic, dmg )
    local pos = sphere.pos
    local size = sphere.size
    if math.abs(vic:GetPos():Distance(pos)) <= size then
        local att = dmg:GetAttacker()
        if math.abs(att:GetPos():Distance(pos)) <= size then
            return true
        end
    end
end

For a box the size would be x length + y length + z length(I think? Bad at geometry), and the sphere size is the radius

That way you don't need to use god mode functions as this creates a 'god mode', and you aren't for looping through unnecessarily items, that'll be expensive, considering the amount of times its going to be called. And the function is only being called when it needs a definite result, instead of using think which will keep running constantly even if the result won't matter at the current tick.

Where is the source code for ents.FindInSphere and similar functions? I'm checking the github but I can't find it and I'm on my phone so its harder to look.

[QUOTE=thegrb93;47451748]COLLISION_GROUP_PLAYER should work

Maybe it only works on brushes.[/QUOTE]

I think COLLISION_GROUP_PLAYER represents the collision group that is applied to players. Which would collide with other players and props.

Hey, i own a murder and i'm trying to custom the gamemode, i added some addon but i have a problem with the new knife that i want to add : When the murderer chase his victim, he can hit him but the victim don't lose any health and don't die.

Anyone know what should i add/change in the code to make it work?

Hello.
I made a swep which isn't ment for shooting, but for configuring things, and when ever i use that swep to shoot or reload, it spams the left click and spams the reload key, do you have any ideas how to solve this?
I am using a Curtime variable, but because it spams instantly, multiple times, it has trouble working.

"([&=+%c])" is the capture. If you want other symbols just add them in between the square brackets. In the solution Lixquid posted %W represents any non-alphanumeric character so that will probably work too.

Hello, I'm making a SWEP and have a problem, here is the code

[LUA]quotes = {"sound/weapons/allu/allu_beer.mp3", "sound/weapons/allu/allu_daily_heroin.mp3", "sound/weapons/allu/allu_drank_beer.mp3", "sound/weapons/allu/allu_icecold_beer.mp3", "sound/weapons/allu/allu_pushit.mp3", "sound/weapons/allu/allu_redbull.mp3", "sound/weapons/allu/allu_steaks.mp3"}

What I want is whenever I fire the weapon it plays a random .mp3 file from the quotes, the problem I have is making it random. It always plays the same sound whenever I shoot my weapon. I do a map change on single player, a different sound plays but it doesn't change, it only plays one sound.
Please help.

The SWEP's lua file is initialised when the gamemode is loaded (after each map change), meaning that the SWEP.Primary.Sound = Sound( table.Random(quotes) ) is only called once. This means that the sound would be random, but the sound is only randomly chosen once after each map change.
