Problems That Don't Need Their Own Thread v3.0

[UnkN]

Have anyone know normal method to send 256x256 picture without alpha channel? I mean that I need get color from every pixel and convert it to string(255080177 and etc.), after I need compress it by util.compress and send data to client(256*256*9 bytes ~ 24 KB). Have another method?

[QUOTE=bayrock;48651144]That looks like quite a mess, but to your points you never actually define a world model so change:

SWEP.WorldModel	= ""

To:

SWEP.WorldModel	= "w_slam.mdl"

Also, I made a slight error so replace the SWEP:Holster function I gave you before with this:

function SWEP:Holster()

	if CLIENT and IsValid(self.Owner) then
		local vm = self.Owner:GetViewModel()

		if IsValid(vm) then
			self:ResetBonePositions(vm)
			vm:SetMaterial("")
		end
	end

	return true
end

[/QUOTE]

Changing that worldmodel causing what I was holding to become an error and the SCK base still hasnt connected to the actual SWEP.

is there any reason why self.Weapon:SendWeaponAnim() fails to replay when trying to play an animation twice in a row on dedicated servers, but works flawlessly in listen?

Not predicted clientside?

[QUOTE=Z0mb1n3;48672361]Not predicted clientside?[/QUOTE]

I'm trying to understand how prediction would work with this function, since it's in a think hook

[Axarator]

How do I make my ball more bouncy, or react more to a punch. Instead of making the weapon stronger, how do I make the ball more vulnerable and more bouncy?

hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "Spawnball", function( ply, text, team )
	if ( string.sub( text, 1, 5 ) == "!ball" ) then
		local ball = ents.Create( "prop_physics" )
		if ( !IsValid( ball ) ) then return end
		ball:SetModel("models/props_phx/misc/soccerball.mdl")
		ball:SetMaterial( "gmod_bouncy" )
		ball:SetMoveCollide( MOVECOLLIDE_FLY_BOUNCE )
		ball:SetGravity( 0.5 )
		ball:SetPos( ply:GetPos() )
		ball:Spawn()
		local phys = ball:GetPhysicsObject()
		print(phys)
		if ( ball:IsOnGround() ) then
		ball:SetVelocity(ball:GetForward() * 2 + Vector(0,0,20))
		return end
	return end
end )

How do I render LocalPlayer() worldmodel in CalcView / VehicleCalcView ?

[QUOTE=Katazuro;48672598]I'm trying to understand how prediction would work with this function, since it's in a think hook[/QUOTE]

Sorry, I mean calling it serverside when you should call it clientside as well.
That might be it, might not, not sure.

Thank you.

Edit:

Is HandleAnimation callback broken on vehicles? I get the god damn roller coaster animation no matter what act I try to use.

Is there any way to disable or remove DScrollBar's scrollbar?
I did tried to hide it by painting over it but it still resizes the content, what I want is remove it completely.

Try scrollbar:SetWidth(0)

How would I go about making a [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Category:DButton"]DButton[/URL] that controls player movement?

This is what I have so far:

forward = vgui.Create( "DButton", frame ) 
		forward:SetPos( 20, ScrH() - 220 )
		forward:SetSize( 100, 100 )
		forward:SetText( "Go Forward" )
		forward:MakePopup()
		forward.DoClick = function()
			if forward:IsDown() == true then
				RunConsoleCommand( "+forward" )
		elseif forward:IsDown() == nil then
				RunConsoleCommand( "-forward" )
		end
	end

But it'll either not work or just toggle player to go forward. I also tried "if forward:IsDown() == false" but same results. I don't know any other way to do it.

Rather than checking it on click, do it in a think hook.

forward.Think = function()
    if forward:IsDown() then
        RunConsoleCommand( "+forward" )
    elseif not forward:IsDown() then
	RunConsoleCommand( "-forward" )
    end
end

Thank you, works like a charm!

A quick question:

A lot of players don't have CSS anymore. Would you require CSS when you were developing on a new gamemode? And how much do have css still installed do you think?

I'm running into an issue where every now and then TOOL:LeftClick (and rightclick) are being called twice in one click only on the client. Anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks.

It's prediction doing its thing. Wrap whatever you need executed once like so:
[lua]
if IsFirstTimePredicted() then
-- your code here
end
[/lua]

Thanks both Rubat and npypntz!

[QUOTE=Becomeimp;48665046]The math on one of my values keeps resetting?

In one file I have:

classpect_base = {}
	classpect_base["health"] = 100

--CLASSES--
 Lord = {} 
	Lord["health"] = classpect_base["health"] + 100
print(" Lord health is "..Lord["health"] )

The print returns that it is indeed now at 200.

However I use the table in another file, where I've use a print to check it

 print(" Lord health is now "..Lord["health"].." ?!?!?!? " ) 

And this returns only 100 ![/QUOTE]

bumping this from a few days ago, still no luck on even figuring out the problem

Hello guys, does anyone know why this keeps happening?
So my problem is that whenever the panel is created my steam profile pops up even though I haven't pressed the button.
When plyInfoPanel is create pl:ShowProfile() runs even though I haven't pressed the actual button.

function DrawButtons(w, h, x, y, text, ...)

    local btn = vgui.Create("DButton", plyInfoPanel)
	btn:SetSize(w,h)
	btn:SetPos(x, y)
	btn:SetText("")
	function btn.Paint(self)
		draw.RoundedBox(0, 0, 0, self:GetWide(), self:GetTall(), color_black)	
		draw.DrawText(text, "BMainLSmall", 50,4,color_white, TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
	end
		
	local funcList = {...}	
	function btn.DoClick() unpack(funcList) end 
end

function PlayerInfoPanel(pl)
	if IsValid(plyInfoPanel) then plyInfoPanel:Remove() end

    plyInfoPanel = vgui.Create("DPanel")
	plyInfoPanel:SetSize(400,400)
	plyInfoPanel:SetPos(ScrW() / 2 - 200, ScrH() / 2 - 225)
	function plyInfoPanel.Paint(self)
		draw.RoundedBox(0, 0, 0, self:GetWide(), self:GetTall(), Theme.Background)
		surface.SetDrawColor(Color(150,150,150,255))
		surface.DrawOutlinedRect(0,0,self:GetWide(), self:GetTall())
		draw.RoundedBox(0, 0, 0, self:GetWide(), 135, Theme.Top)
	end
		
	DrawButtons(100,25,25,140,  "Steam Profile", true, false, false, pl:ShowProfile())
end

[Dynn]

You call ShowProfile in the 2nd line from the bottom. (Inside your DrawButtons function call)

Because you're not storing a function, you're executing it and the 'return value' is taking its place.
What you should do instead is simply remove the set of parentheses after ShowProfile, and then rather than unpacking funcList, loop through and do something like

for _, v in pairs( funcList ) do
    v()
end

Oh ok thanks for the explanation, I will try that and see what happens.

Also does anyone if there is a way to disable or remove the scrollbar of DSrollBar rather than paint it?

Do you mean scrollbars made using DVScrollBar?
If so,

scrollbar.btnGrip:Remove()

Do you know how I can run lua_run via RunConsoleCommand?
Whenever I run RunConsoleCommand using lua_run I get this: RunConsoleCommand: Command is blocked! (lua_run)
