Oh god why.

The only time you need to do this is if you're adding other access levels, e.g. ply:IsGod(), or checking by location or team or some shit like that instead (which is a horrible idea to begin with and anyone who does that [i]deserves[/i] to get permabanned from his own server) or if you really hate users.txt.

Should just be using ply:SetUserGroup() instead.

Got a few questions that I've been wondering about:

Is it possible to check if a client is subscribed to a workshop addon via lua and if so is there a certain function?

Is it possible to replace a SWEP's view and world model if said user is not subscribed to the addon?

[Kidd]

Anyone have any examples on how to use DCategoryList and/or DListLayout?

Just telling him what he asked. I agree it's not ideal.

Attempting to get this :

AddEntity("Emerald Printer", "emerald_money_printer", "models/props_c17/consolebox01a.mdl", 2500, 1, "/buyemerald", nil, function(ply) return ply:CheckGroup("donator") or ply:IsSuperAdmin() end)

To notify the player that he is not a donator, I attempted this:

AddEntity("Emerald Printer", "emerald_money_printer", "models/props_c17/consolebox01a.mdl", 2500, 1, "/buyemerald", nil, function(ply) return ply:CheckGroup("donator") or ply:IsSuperAdmin() then Notify(self, 1, 4, string.format("That Printer is Donator only! Visit www.evoservers.net for more info!")) end)

Which did not work. How would I do this? Any method i've tried doesn't seem to work.

file.Find appears to be broken, am I just not using it right?
The example on the gmod wiki does not work either.
The following is some code I found in a thread that should work but doesn't.

local t_Filter = {
    "db", "vvd", "phy", "vtx"
}
local function ProcessFolder( t_Location )

    
    local t_Files, t_Directories = file.Find( t_Location .. "*", "GAME" )
    

    for _, t_File in pairs( t_Files ) do
		
      
        if ( !table.HasValue( t_Filter, string.GetExtensionFromFilename( t_File ) ) ) then 
         
           
            resource.AddFile( t_Location .. t_File );
            
        end
         
    end
     

    for _, t_Directory in pairs( t_Directories ) do

        ProcessFolder( t_Location .. t_Directory .. "/", t_Total )

         
    end
     
end

It seems to return t_Files as a table with nothing in it. This is extremely frustrating for server downloads. Can someone explain?

Where [i]exactly[/i] are the folders and files you're trying to load?

What are you passing ProcessFolder the first time you call it?

Is t_Directories an empty table as well?

How can I disable the creations tab in my server?

I'm looking for the info on what needs to be changed to fix gamemodes in Gmod 13. I clicked the Porting from Gmod 12 link on the wiki, and it used to lead to a document, but now it (unfortunately) leads to a blank document in Google Docs. Does anyone know a place where I can find what needs to be changed?

I am trying to use dmginfo:IsDamageType and it gives me the error attempt to index local 'dmginfo' (a nil value)

if ent:IsPlayer() and ent:IsValid() and dmginfo:IsDamageType( DMG_BLAST ) then

So im not really sure whats going on. Has things been changed for dmginfo?

[CherryJim]

Post full code. I'm assuming this is an EntityTakeDamage hook? Make sure the second function arg actually is "dmginfo".

[residualgrub]

Sorry about that i feel kinda retarted for not doing that in the first place

function Shellshock(ent, inflictor, attacker, amount, dmginfo)
if ent:IsPlayer() and ent:IsValid() and dmginfo:IsDamageType( DMG_BLAST ) then
		ent:ConCommand( "pp_motionblur 1; pp_dof 1; sensitivity 1; play shock.wav" )
 		ent:SetWalkSpeed(50)
		ent:SetRunSpeed(50)
		timer.Simple( 5, ent.ConCommand, ent, "pp_motionblur 0; pp_dof 0; sensitivity 10" )
		timer.Simple( 5,  ent.SetWalkSpeed, ent, "250" )
		timer.Simple( 5,  ent.SetRunSpeed, ent, "500" )
	end
end

hook.Add("EntityTakeDamage","Shell_shock",Shellshock)

[BL00DB4TH]

[QUOTE=residualgrub;38430814]Sorry about that i feel kinda retarted for not doing that in the first place[/QUOTE]

should be

[lua]function Shellshock(ent, dmginfo)[/lua]

[wearing18]

Ya You Should Feel Retarted Bitch What The Fuck Why Are You Passing Non Existent Arguments In EntityTakeDamage You Dumb Bitch Heres How You Do It

Function GM:Initialize()
Hook.Add("EntityTakeDamage", function(ent,inflictor)
Return False
End)
End

Thanks blood it worked but now my timers are failing im trying to fix it but to no avail

[CherryJim]

You can't pass arguments into timers like that anymore.

[lua]function Shellshock(ent, dmginfo)
if ent:IsPlayer() and ent:IsValid() and dmginfo:IsDamageType( DMG_BLAST ) then
ent:ConCommand( "pp_motionblur 1; pp_dof 1; sensitivity 1; play shellshock.wav" )
ent:SetWalkSpeed(50)
ent:SetRunSpeed(50)
timer.Simple(5, function()
if not IsValid(ent) then return end
ent:ConCommand("pp_motionblur 0; pp_dof 0; sensitivity 10")
ent:SetWalkSpeed(250)
ent:SetRunSpeed(500)
end)
end
end

hook.Add("EntityTakeDamage","Shell_shock",Shellshock)
[/lua]

[residualgrub]

Ah ok thanks. the wiki still said you could so that threw me off.

Does anybody know of documentation for making and using custom derma skins?

Most I could find was [URL="http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/indexa2b0.html"]this[/URL] but I don't know where to get the files to make the skin or where to save it.

I'm fixing up HatsChat and it works perfectly except the line icons and glows. I get this error from it.

[ERROR] addons/hatschat_chatbox/lua/cl_hatschat.lua:77: attempt to call method 'GetPData' (a nil value)
  1. unknown - addons/hatschat_chatbox/lua/cl_hatschat.lua:77

Timer Failed! [Simple][@addons/hatschat_chatbox/lua/cl_hatschat.lua (line 100)]

The snippit of code with the error:

local ShowLineIcons, ShowLineGlow
local LineIcons = function()

    ShowLineIcons = CreateConVar("HatsChat_LineIcons", LocalPlayer():GetPData("HatsChat_LineIcons", 1) ) 
    ShowLineGlow = CreateConVar("HatsChat_LineGlow", LocalPlayer():GetPData("HatsChat_LineGlow", 1) ) 

    local function ChangeCallback( cvar, prev, new )
        LocalPlayer():SetPData( tostring(GetConVar(cvar)) , new)
    end
    cvars.AddChangeCallback( "HatsChat_LineIcons", ChangeCallback)
    cvars.AddChangeCallback( "HatsChat_LineGlow", ChangeCallback)

end

timer.Simple(1, LineIcons )

Any ideas why it is error'ing would be appreciated. I tried the individual lines in my console using lua_run_cl and they worked fine so I'm not sure whether something else in the code is the issue.

GetPData is a serverside function, you can't run it on the client unless you create a custom piece for accessing it.

I don't know about t_Directories, it's supposed to recursively go down specified directories and automatically add all content in it.

resource.AddFile("models/weapons/v_pist_lugr.mdl")
resource.AddFile("models/weapons/w_pist_lugr.mdl")

resource.AddDir("sound/weapons/junkwep")
resource.AddDir("sound/weapons/nazigun")

The models download fine, the sounds do not. The folders are all in addons (including the following code which is in the same addon as the sounds/models), this worked fine in gm12 and I don't know if garry has changed something about the way addons load.

Not exactly something I need help with, but I was just wondering what other people do for 2D animations. The way I've been doing it is storing an X or Y position in a variable and changing it with math.Approach. This method works for the most part, but when it gets to more complex animations, it becomes a tedious task to handle all the variables. :l

Try playing around with texture filtering. This might solve your problems. [url]http://garry.tv/post/34414478795/texture-filtering[/url]
