Does the x co-ordinate of draw.drawtext start half way through the string, instead of on the left?

For example, if I use 0 for x with draw.RoundedBox, it'll be against the screen but with text, half of it gets cut out

Read the [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/draw/DrawText]draw.DrawText[/url] wiki page. It has a method for X-axis aligning.

Looks like it's something with the spawn function you made. I'm not entirely sure without seeing the code but based on what you've posted before, it could be that "soda" in "foodEnt:SetFoodType( soda )" is nil.

Yep, forgot that it takes a string "soda", which makes it work. But I want this to work for each item in the loop. If I just set it to v, it tried to grab the entire table instead. I want to just grab the soda part in foodItems.soda as a string, I tried toString(v) but that didn't work.

If Z0mb1n3 wanted to test out my weird line bug, then this is basically the code I'm using (which has the same problem of a render.DrawLine being able to get behind the model on the panel, but a render.DrawBox not being able to.

concommand.Add( 'ModelPanelTest', function()
	local White = Material( 'vgui/white' )

	local basepanel = vgui.Create( 'DFrame' )
	basepanel:SetSize(400,400)
	basepanel:Center()
	basepanel:MakePopup()
	basepanel:SetSizable(true)
	
	local modelpanel = vgui.Create( 'DModelPanel', basepanel )
	modelpanel:Dock(FILL)
	modelpanel:SetModel( 'models/props_c17/oildrum001.mdl' )
	modelpanel:SetLookAt( Vector( 0, 0, 0 ) )
	modelpanel.Angles = Angle( 0, 0, 0 ) --For the turning
	
	function modelpanel:DrawModel() --This is all default
	local curparent = self
	local rightx = self:GetWide()
	local leftx = 0
	local topy = 0
	local bottomy = self:GetTall()
	local previous = curparent
	while( curparent:GetParent() != nil ) do
		curparent = curparent:GetParent()
		local x, y = previous:GetPos()
		topy = math.Max( y, topy + y )
		leftx = math.Max( x, leftx + x )
		bottomy = math.Min( y + previous:GetTall(), bottomy + y )
		rightx = math.Min( x + previous:GetWide(), rightx + x )
		previous = curparent
	end
		render.SetScissorRect( leftx, topy, rightx, bottomy, true )
		
		self.Entity:DrawModel() --It stops being default here
		
		local vector = self.Entity:LocalToWorld( Vector( 0, 15, 0 ) )
		render.SetMaterial( White )
		render.DrawLine( vector, vector+Vector(10,0,0), Color( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), true )
		render.DrawBox( vector, Angle(0,0,0), Vector(-1,-1,-1), Vector(1,1,1), Color(255,255,255,255), true ) 
		
		render.SetScissorRect( 0, 0, 0, 0, false )
	end
	
	--All this stuff below is just so you can turn the model
	
	function modelpanel:DragMousePress()
		self.PressX, self.PressY = gui.MousePos()
		self.Pressed = true
	end

	function modelpanel:DragMouseRelease()
		self.Pressed = false
	end

	function modelpanel:LayoutEntity( ent )
	
		if ( self.Pressed ) then
			local mx, my = gui.MousePos()
			self.Angles = self.Angles - Angle( 0, ( self.PressX or mx ) - mx, 0 )
			self.PressX, self.PressY = gui.MousePos()
		end
		ent:SetAngles( self.Angles )
	end
	
end )

It looks pretty long but that's only because it has big sections of default functions copied. The only bit that's actually important is the

render.DrawLine( vector, vector+Vector(10,0,0), Color( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), true )
render.DrawBox( vector, Angle(0,0,0), Vector(-1,-1,-1), Vector(1,1,1), Color(255,255,255,255), true ) 

Since the line works and the box doesn't.

If you are using for k,v in pairs(table) then you can use k to get the name of the table.

Getting some console spam when trying to spawn in a jeep with the stupidly simple code bellow

It's spamming
Bad pstudiohdr in GetSequenceLinearMotion()!

Most likely I'm missing something that the vehicle needs to spawn but idk what it is. I've tried also adding a SetModel to the buggy.mdl.

Fantastic, now this all works nicely. Only problem left is that the entities don't appear in the f4 menu. Doing the function normally shows them in the f4 menu, but not when I do it in a loop? It's weird.

Edit: duh, wasn't calling it clientside :v:. No errors now, it appears in the f4 menu. Thanks for all the help with this guys.

Plus, you can always make the icon path optional and generate it from text like so:

local icon = t.icon or "icons/" .. t.text:lower() .. ".png"

[MysteryPancake]

[QUOTE=Z0mb1n3;48820762]I assumed you wanted it to face a direction based on the vector given?[/QUOTE]

For me when I use your code the vector doesn't face the camera (i.e. I can't see the white cube anywhere)-maybe I didn't say but I didn't just want it in the centre, but also to face the camera (sorry if it works for you, but it doesn't for me).
