When I spawn my NPC I get this spammed into console:

[lua]

*Snip think I got it*

[Kicks38]

[lua]hook.Add("DoPlayerDeath", "ShowKiller", function(victim, attacker)
if attacker:IsPlayer() && attacker:IsRole(ROLE_TRAITOR) then
victim:chat.AddText(Color(255,0,0), "You have been killed by a traitor.")

elseif attacker:IsPlayer() && attacker:IsRole(ROLE_INNOCENT) then
victim:chat.AddText(Color(0,0,255),"You have been killed by "..attacker:Nick()..". He was an innocent.")

elseif not attacker:IsPlayer() then
victim:chat.AddText(Color(0,255,0), "You were not killed by a player.")
end
end)[/lua]

Why doesn't this work? For some reason it gives this error

That's actually a bug, ai.GetTaskID returning nil no matter what.
Y'know, I don't think anyone's put in a proper bug report, you should post about it in the Developments section

If you want the victim to see that, you have to use victim:SendLua("chat.AddText(Color(255, 0, 0), \"You have been killed by "..attacker:Name()..". blah blah\""). You might want to use a net message instead since the attacker's name could lead to problems with escaping and being abused.

victim:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK,killer:Nick().." just killed yo ass!")

[Hmmmmmm]

Untested, but something like this would probably work.

//Mind the shittiness.

if( SERVER ) then

	function AddColoredText( pl, col, msg )
		umsg.Start( "sendtext", pl );
		umsg.String( msg );
		umsg.Short( col.r );
		umsg.Short( col.g );
		umsg.Short( col.b );
		umsg.End();
	end
	
	hook.Add( "DoPlayerDeath", "ShowKiller", function( victim, attacker )
		if( attacker && attacker:IsPlayer() && attacker:IsRole( ROLE_TRAITOR ) ) then
			AddColoredText( victim, Color( 255, 0, 0 ), "You have been killed by a traitor." );
		end
		if( attacker && attacker:IsPlayer() && attacker:IsRole( ROLE_INNOCENT ) ) then
			AddColoredText( victim, Color( 0, 0, 255 ), "You have been killed by "..attacker:Nick()..". He was an innocent." );
		end
		if( attacker && !attacker:IsPlayer() ) then
			AddColoredText( victim, Color( 0, 255, 0 ), "You weren't killed by a player." );
		end
	end );
	
end

if( CLIENT ) then
	
	usermessage.Hook( "sendtext", function( um )
		local msg = um:ReadString();
		local col = Color( um:ReadShort(), um:ReadShort(), um:ReadShort(), 255 );
		chat.AddText( col, msg );
	end );
	
end

[G4MB!T]

why are you sending a short (4 bytes) instead of a char (2 bytes)?

just send the channel value (r, g, b) minus 128 (or something i forget what to minus)

its nothing significant, i mean its not going to lag because you send 6 extra bytes.

[del]also the net library has net.WriteByte which writes a value between 0 and 255 which is perfect for colors.[/del]

apparently net.Write/ReadByte has been removed.

heres the code for it if you want to use it.

[lua]
function net.WriteByte(int)
net.WriteUInt(int, 8);
end

function net.ReadByte()
return net.ReadUInt(8);
end
[/lua]

Is there a function to get the IP address of a server?

[NinjaS]

[QUOTE=_NewBee;38626094]Is there a function to get the IP address of a server?[/QUOTE]

Can't you get it from [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Libraries/gameevent/Listen"]gameevent.Listen("server_cvar")[/URL]? it's one of them I remember doing her.

Then store her in a table/string.

If it's a cvar, can't you just use GetConVar?

[NinjaS]

[QUOTE=Drakehawke;38627151]If it's a cvar, can't you just use GetConVar?[/QUOTE]

True but someone said you need to use binary ect to convert it, he might be talking about client side or smth.

[Drakehawke]

[QUOTE=NinjaS;38627324]True but someone said you need to use binary ect to convert it, he might be talking about client side or smth.[/QUOTE]

So do show me how you do this using the server_cvar game event?

[amkoc]

Does anyone have a function that'll spawn a prop at a random location, out of sight of the player spawns, but ensure it doesn't end up in a wall?

[NinjaS]

[QUOTE=Drakehawke;38627401]So do show me how you do this using the server_cvar game event?[/QUOTE]

I don't remember what game event it's but it's one of them I said I used.

game->GetIP(); is another way using a module

[Drakehawke]

[lua]
function game.GetIP()

local hostip = GetConVarString( "hostip" ) -- GetConVarNumber is inaccurate
hostip = tonumber( hostip )

local ip = {}
ip[ 1 ] = bit.rshift( bit.band( hostip, 0xFF000000 ), 24 )
ip[ 2 ] = bit.rshift( bit.band( hostip, 0x00FF0000 ), 16 )
ip[ 3 ] = bit.rshift( bit.band( hostip, 0x0000FF00 ), 8 )
ip[ 4 ] = bit.band( hostip, 0x000000FF )

return table.concat( ip, "." )
end[/lua]

If you need it clientside just network it, no big deal since it's never going to change.

Does anyone have a solution to this problem for GM13? Ignore the missing models.

[QUOTE=amkoc;38628321]Does anyone have a function that'll spawn a prop at a random location, out of sight of the player spawns, but ensure it doesn't end up in a wall?[/QUOTE]

it'd probably be best to make a bunch of nodes on the map that the props could spawn at.
info_node would work well, you could just place them all around where you would want possible props to spawn.
after that, get the table using:

local propspawns = ents.FindByClass("info_node")

and then spawn it at one of the random locations that isn't visible using this:

local pos = table.Random(propspawns)
if pos.visible == false then
prop = ents.Create("prop_dynamic")
prop:SetModel("path/to/model/here")
prop:SetPos(pos:GetPos())
prop:Spawn()
end

or something similar

Override the paint function and wrap it in calls to [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Libraries/render/SetScissorRect]render.SetScissorRect[/url], you can find the original paint function [url=http://glua.me/bin/?path=/lua/vgui/dmodelpanel.lua]here[/url].

Thanks, but most of the maps I'd use it on won't have nodegraphs and I'd rather not have to make one every time I want to use this.

[xXpyroHatakeXx]

I have a spawnlist in the lua/autorun folder, but it isn't showing up ingame. Here's my lua file, could someone please tell me what noob-ish mistake I'm making?

local Category = "Okibi's NPCs"

local NPC = { 	Name = "Hybrid Hunter", 
				Class = "sent_hhunter",
				KeyValues = { citizentype = 4 },
				Category = Category }

list.Set( "NPC", "sent_hhunter", NPC )

This is pretty much how I've been doing it

[HotshotGG]

i dont have code to display, but I can't for the life of me make a script where it deletes props in spawn from

[lua]local getspawnpoints = {
"info_player_counterterrorist",
"info_player_terrorist",
"info_player_start"
}[/lua]

i can do it from a specific vector position but not from these

[J.R.]

Not sure if lua related.... but users keep getting disconnected from my server, ex:

Dropped JR from server (ProcessUsercmds:  Overflowed reading usercmd data (check sending and receiving code for mismatches)!

Disconnected as in they join and get disconnected instantly.

[Ollie]

Ugh, kinda stuck now.
Deathrun maps have CS:S weapons such as weapon_knife and weapon_deagle.
Do i really have to recreate them all or is there a trick to somehow fix this?

[KatNotDinner]

Guyes, ideas why entities don't want their render bounds set? (they appears at vector_origin and their angles are always 0 0 0)

[ralle105]

If you are using SetRenderOrigin/Angles then you need to call SetupBones between those calls and the DrawModel call.

[KatNotDinner]

Thanks, it worked.
