To be completely honest with you, I can't get my new Onslaught to work right. I set up a system for an item shop where you could buy items, but the item files aren't being included correctly.

And besides, in your gamemode you have constant assaults of enemies and supply drops, while Onslaught has on-and-off attacks where inbetween them you build bases with props.

Does anyone know why
[lua]local chars = {};
for i = 1, 6000 do
table.insert( char, "asd" );
end
local txt = table.concat( chars );[/lua]

is faster than

[lua]local txt = "";
for i = 1, 6000 do
txt = txt .. "asd"
end[/lua]

I don't know the "programmatical" reason but I do know table.concat is faster than .. (obviously)

Was quite some time ago so I've no idea if they still have the code , but it certainly looks like what you'd need.
This is a more advanced version of what I meant , but you can see what I mean.

[QUOTE=dingusnin;35710430]Well, Here is what i am working on:
[lua]
local Sphere

local function Distance(p1,p2)
local offsets = p1:GetPos()-p2:GetPos()
return math.sqrt(offets.z^2 + math.sqrt(offsets.x^2 + offsets.y^2))
end

[/lua]
[/QUOTE]

There's already a function to get distance between two vectors.
[lua]
p1:GetPos():Distance(p2:GetPos())
[/lua]

[QUOTE=dingusnin;35710430]
[lua]
hook.Add("think","Uprop",UpdateProp)
[/lua]
[/QUOTE]

hook.Add is case sensitive.
[lua]hook.Add("Think","Uprop",UpdateProp)[/lua]

[QUOTE=dingusnin;35710430]
I am trying to get a spherical gravity thingy, But so far it is yeilding no positive results...
Anybody got some surgestions?[/QUOTE]

I'm 99% sure that you copied most of this math from somewhere, since it makes almost no sense.

If you want something to move towards another point you don't need any trigonometry.
[lua]
local diff = center_of_gravity - entity:GetPos();
local norm = diff:GetNormal();
entity:SetVelocity( entity:GetVelocity() + norm * 1000 * FrameTime() );
[/lua]
Where center_of_gravity is a vector.

If you want the entity to orbit the point then you must also apply a force perpendicular to the normal.

I noticed half of those bugs after i posted it. And I have the calculations on some papers if you wish to see them?

First off all locations are local, so there are a lot of substractions,
So to calculate the yaw, you look down at the sphere. Draw 2 dots: the Sphere center and the player position. Then you draw the triangle, which is rectangle on the x and y lines.
Then, to calculate the pitch, I had to calculate the hypotenuse of the yaw triangle, meaning pythagoras theorem, this will be the adjacent length, and the opposite length will be the z offset.

And only after did i notice the can model has offsets :(

Added basic arithmetic (register display is decimal).

you need to simulate the centripetal force (normal) and path of inertia (perpendicular of the normal):

Yes, But how would i set the angles to the prop i have parented the player to? Otherwise the rander angles wouldn't change.

Then you're looking at applying torque.
Check out PhysObj.ApplyForceOffset( Vector force, Vector position )

[dingusnin]

As far as I know, you cannot use that on players. This hole idea was an orbital pvp. If players don't rotate around planets then I won't work.

I thought you were trying to use it on a prop.
If you're trying to make players do that you'd have to edit how players set up their movement and all that, you just can't set their velocity and angle.

If you want the player to face the right way I guess you have to set their angle to ( player:GetPos() - center_of_gravity ):Angle():Up():Angle()
and then adjust the yaw.
