What do you need help with V4

[Krizzu]

[QUOTE=Drakehawke;35286560]For the default models that come with GMod? I just use the spawnmenu in-game. (Right click -> Copy to Clipboard)[/QUOTE]

I mean models that I can use in ViewModels and WorldModels

[Drakehawke]

[QUOTE=Krizzu;35287183]I mean models that I can use in ViewModels and WorldModels[/QUOTE]

Yep, they're in there, search for "weapon" and you get most of them, the view models mostly begin with v_, the world models mostly begin with w_.

You can also use the "Model Viewer" from Source SDK.

Okay, got it. Thanks.
Now, I want to delay some action. Any Snippets?

[QUOTE=Proclivitas;35285878]What are some entry level/intermediate things to code? I don't want to be creating massive gamemodes here, I just purely want to do this for hobby as I haven't learned lua yet.[/QUOTE]

Code a simple deathmatch gamemode. The hardest part will be the currency and round system. So it should give you a bit of a challenege depending on how intricate you make the gamemode.

Thank you! Helped a lot!
But now:

[LUA]
function SWEP:SecondaryAttack()
concommand.Run (self.Owner,"testframe")
end

function testframe()
local frame1 = vgui.Create("DFrame") --This is line 75

frame1:SetPos(100,100)

Does anyone know the name of the tripmine ammo? I know the mine itself is npc_tripmine but can't find the "ammo" for it or whatever you'd use to spawn it.

Well, I feel dumb. lol thanks.

How would I check to see if something is inside of ents.FindInSphere?

[lua]
function CheckSpawnZones()
for k, vector in pairs(SpawnZone) do
local entity = ents.FindInSphere(vector.Vector,300);
for _, class in pairs(CheckFor) do
local ent = tostring(entity:GetClass());
if (class == ent) then
return;
end
end
end
return true;
end

local trace = ply:GetEyeTrace();

AddSpawnZone(trace.HitPos, args[1], args[2], #SpawnZone + 1);
else
ply:ChatPrint("You must enter two arguments and look at the world!\n I.E. create_spawnpoints 'class' 'true/false'");

timer.Create("SpawnZoneThink", 0.5, 0, function()

I solved the first part. How do I make it so it doesn't only spawn when something is isnt in any of the spheres and just the sphere where the spawn is? I can be in one zombies spawn, and others will spawn is what I mean. For now it only spawns in the 2 spawn I create and not in the third or fourth.

[Krizzu]

Okay, now, is there any restriction about console command name?

[QUOTE]concommand.Add( "testframe", testframe )
[/QUOTE]

When I put "testframe" it says there no such a function.
When I put "qwe" it's working.

O.o

[silenced deat]

So I want to create a command for perp when a player runs it, it gives them 500k but I can't figure out how to make it set to a specific person that runs the command.

So far I have

[lua]
function money (SteamID, ply)

sql.query( "INSERT INTO perp_users, "cash"VALUE ("500000")")

concommand.Add("Money", money)
[/lua]

[Adrammelech09]

I suppose it's a tiny problem but I can't seem to make it happen. AT ALL.

the code is as follows:

function SWEP:SecondaryAttack()

if ( !self:CanSecondaryAttack() ) then return end

timer.Simple(0.3,function() self.Weapon:EmitSound("Weapon_MegaPhysCannon.Charge")
local shoot={}
[1]=(timer.Simple(0.3, self:ShootBullet( 4, 9, 0.06 ))
[2]=(self:TakeSecondaryAmmo( 1 ))
[3]=(self.Owner:ViewPunch(Angle(math.random(-0.5, -0.1))) )
[4]=(self.Weapon:SetNextSecondaryFire( CurTime() + 0.3 ) )
[5]=(local muzzle2 = EffectData() )
end
-- fruitlessly trying to put a different muzzle effect for a different shot.
muzzle2:SetEntity(self.Weapon)
muzzle2:SetOrigin(self.Owner:GetShootPos())
muzzle2:SetNormal(self.Owner:GetAimVector())
muzzle2:SetAttachment(1)
util.Effect("HelicopterMuzzleFlash", muzzle2)
end

Wanted a delay on the secondary fire, which was going to be a shotgun. Tried to use a table, failed. At my wit's fucking end. HELP!!!

[Chessnut]

All of the indexes aren't part of a table. It should be:

local myTable = {};
myTable[1] = "Hello";
myTable[2] = "World";
myTable[3] = "stuff.";

And so on.

concommand.Add calls the function with 3 parameters: Player, Command, Arguments.

For example, to get the steamid, you can use this code:

concommand.Add("YourName", function(ply, cmd, args)
local steamid = ply:SteamID()

Your sql query is still wrong. I recommend to you to read this sql tutorial:

It should be:

concommand.Add("GiveMoney", function(ply, cmd, args)
local steamID = ply:SteamID();

sql.Query("UPDATE perp_users SET Cash = 50000 WHERE SteamID = "..steamID);

Assuming that the fields I used are correct.

Make sure those entries are the correct ones that perp uses in its SQL

[lorde banana]

why doesn't he just use the function PERP uses to give players money instead of updating a SQL row which will be overwritten when the player reconnects anyway

When I use :
[QUOTE]chat.AddText()[/QUOTE]
I got chat spam. How to avoid it? (Just one or four messages should be fine instead of 10k)

[Fantym420]

Ok, so I have a few issues that are giving me hell, not really sure they can be fixed either but I thought I'd try and get some assistance.

Firstly I am making a map that has a 3D Sky box that you can enter, and then the actual map shows in the middle of the 3D Sky box with everything at 1/64th scale, and when you are in the map and look up you see out of the glass case in the middle of the Sky box and see everything there 64x normal size, there is a teleport that take you between them.

So far I can draw the player, props, vehicles, and some SENTs in miniature but I can't seem to redraw some things like fire and explosion effects, and this is the part I don't think I can do at all.

The part I think I can fix is with my npc's some will scale just fine, but all humanish characters don't scale, i've brought and illustration:
[b]First What works[/b]
Antlion's scale just fine, this is a normal first person shot.

This shot is from a camera in the sky box room, me and the antlion are in the bottom left to the right of the health display, tiny just as they should be.
[t]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/578952027376891561/19BD250182F5EC7A8D1CCC226D25E1EECFA5FBDC/[/t]

This shot is from the camera seen in the lower left of the last shot, this camera is also in the sky box room but it is just beyond the inside wall to get a close up.

[b]and now...[/b]
These next 3 are exactly the same but with mossman, she doesn't scale.
First person shot, you can see the full size model being drawn in sky box room.
