What do you need help with? V3

[allnewryan1]

How would I go about sending a variable to the console?
I wanna do something like:

local somevar = "player"
ply:ConCommand("give", somevar, "weapon_smg")

[Blackfire76]

[lua]

local function DrawThing()
local trace = LocalPlayer():GetEyeTrace()
cam.Start3D2D( trace.HitPos, trace.HitNormal , 1)
draw.RoundedBox(0, 10, 10, 0, 0, Color(255,255,255,255))
cam.End3D2D()
end

hook.Add("PostDrawOpaqueRenderables", "ssdasd", DrawThing)
[/lua]

[ERROR] lua/autorun/client/test.lua:4: bad argument #2 to 'Start3D2D' (Angle expected, got userdata)

cam.Start3D2D takes a vector, angle and scale, you're giving it two vectors and a scale.

Try trace.HitNormal:Angle(), I *think* that's what you're trying to achieve. If it's not how you want it to look post a picture of how it looks and tell us how you do want it to look.

[ERROR] lua/weapons/mario_fireballs/shared.lua:96: attempt to call global 'ValidEntity' (a nil value)
1. unknown - lua/weapons/mario_fireballs/shared.lua:96
And how do I fix sounds?? Maybe garrysmod doens't have them?

[NinjaS]

Replace ValidEntity with [lua]IsValid(...)[/lua]

or at the top of the file

ValidEntity = _G.IsValid

[luavirusfree]

It already is IsValid(frball) ... My main concern now is the sounds. I know there's a thread about it, though.

Couldn't include file 'includes\modules\tmysql.lua' (File not found) (@gamemodes/cityrp/gamemode/init.lua (line 7))

tmysql, i downloaded v3 and v4 of it (GM 13 versions) and renamed them to gmsv_tmysql.dll but both of them didn't work for this lua, im trying to port applejack ( cider ) gamemode.

I tried lua_run require("tmysql"), it says the module can't be loaded, location that i putted dlls on it is lua/bin. i read 3 facepunch threads about this tmysql modules, but still buggy.

Another error is self.Config ( a nil value )

As error says its on line 96, there is ValidEntity on that line.

[luavirusfree]

Yeah, I fixed that! Sounds, now!

gmsv_tmysql3_win32.dll should be inside lua/bin/ folder
same with
gmsv_tmysql4_win32.dll
tmysql4 doesn't work at the moment, from what I remember. So use tmysql.

[editline]30th November 2012[/editline]

Can i get a download link for tmysql3 please? i downloaded one right now says 2.9mb, the one i had was around 30kb

[luavirusfree]

Okay, well related and unrelated. I don't know where else to ask. I read somewhere that TF2 and scripted sounds were broken. The best I can think of is extraction. But how do I change my avatar anymore?

[Necrossin]

[QUOTE=.\\Shadow};38647944]Doesn't work, COLLISION_GROUP_WEAPON also does not work.[/QUOTE]

self:SetCollisionGroup( COLLISION_GROUP_WEAPON )
self:SetTrigger(true)

Something like that.

Yes rename it to what I have said, this is what I am currently using and it works.

Thanks alot

So... I won't get help to get ep2 sounds to play? I also need to make particle effects move with the projectile.

Calm down miss, you need to test it out your self and also [URL="http://lmgtfy.com/?q=get+ep2+sounds+to+play+garrysmod"]ep2 sounds[/URL] [URL="http://lmgtfy.com/?q=make+particle+effects+move+with+the+projectile+garrysmod"]particle effects[/URL] until someone can help you or not.

[Kwaq]

is there a solution for fixing prediction without killing the player? eg when recording a demo it breaks the prediction for example ( crouching in mid air looks funky )

[vid]http://puu.sh/1w0UP[/vid]

[ralle105]

Call :Spawn() on them.

[ZeroSupport]

Does anybody know a webpage where there are LUA exercises with solutions?
I seem like I can only learn something through having tasks to do. It should range from the very beginner to the advanced stuff.

I am not a "miss". [URL="http://lmgtfy.com/?q=my+balls&l=1"]Sir[/URL].

I also can browse the gcf myself. I have special programs, and my IQ is higher than 30.

[B]EDIT:[/B]
I know this is unrelated, but it has changed since I was last here. How do I change my avatar on here?
Never mind...

Go Google it first then.

I will, if you follow my link, first.

I have the old Chatsound addon and I'm trying to fix it up for gmod 13. I was getting an error about ValidEntity, but I fixed that with IsValid.

now the addon loads, the console commands are there, but no sounds play.

I also get no errors in the console, and nothing in the logs. Can anyone help?

I should note I know practically nothing about lua (I do know some code though, so I can edit code)

I am sorry, ma'am. I just return stupiditity with idiocracy.

Pw0nageXD: Look for the sound function and search that function on the new wiki.

[QUOTE=xXpyroHatakeXx;38633398]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?

If that is acceptable, why don't my addons appear ingame?

By which I mean ALL addons, whether or not I made them.

Google it it's been said many times in this thread, Geez you're dumb.
