you know 'luavirusfree' and 'ninjas' are getting so many boxes they could move in together and argue there instead of here.

[QUOTE=P.Tigris;38655359]Pw0nageXD: Look for the sound function and search that function on the new wiki.[/QUOTE]

I don't see any differences with it. I did notice something about the timer that tells it to play though.

		if sound[2] and sound[2] ~= "" then
			local i
			timer.Simple(Time, DoSound, ply, sound[2], num)
		end

That's the timer code. According to the wiki
[quote]
Previously, you could pass extra arguments after the function which would be then passed to the given function after the delay, this functionality was removed in Garry's Mod 13. It will throw an error if you do (timer.Simple - called wrong!)[/quote]

The function it's calling is

local function DoSound( ply, snd, num )
	if IsValid(ply) then
		if MutedPlayers[ply:UniqueID( )] then return; end
		num = num or 0
		local pitch = math.random( 94, 102 )
		for i = 1, num+1 do
			ply:EmitSound(Sound(snd), 90, pitch)
		end
	end
end

From what I can tell, the timer is trying to send the variables to DoSound through a method that was removed.

I may be wrong as I only know a little about coding.
Can anyone instruct me on how I'd fix it?

Table prints(when in range of npc):

3	=	Entity [88][predicted_viewmodel]
4	=	Entity [77][predicted_viewmodel]
5	=	NPC [937][npc_trader]

I don't know tables that good, but how would I tell if npc_trader is in the table or not with a if statement.

This might not be efficient if you are running it in a think hook or something, but it should work.

[Trumple]

Hi guys,
I'm trying to make a system where the user has to press "E" before they pickup a weapon (rather than auto picking up when they walk over it)
I got the actual button press working, but now I'd like a way to display a "PRESS E TO PICKUP BLAH BLAH" message. Currently, the way I did it was to send a usermessage in the PlayerCanPickupWeapon hook:

[lua]
hook.Add( "PlayerCanPickupWeapon", "EPickup", function( ply, wep )
if ( ( ply.PickupTimeout or 0 ) < CurTime() ) then
umsg.Start("weapon_canpickup", ply)
umsg.String("wep name here")
umsg.End()
return false
end
end )
[/lua]

And on client side, the usermessage is used to control the addition/removal of a HUD draw hook.
Trouble is, the PlayerCanPickupWeapon is called many times a second and so thousands of usermessages get sent if the player is standing on a weapon and has not pressed E. I was wondering, is there a way to check for a nearby weapon clientside? To tell the truth, I'm terrible when it comes to entities so any help/pointers or even a different method would be appreciated
Cheers

[Chessnut]

Why not make a trace and check if the trace is pointing at a weapon? Then once
you got the weapon, get the class of the weapon and you can probably define
a table of weapon names or something.

[Drakehawke]

ent:IsWeapon()?

[QUOTE=Chessnut;38665372]Why not make a trace and check if the trace is pointing at a weapon? Then once

Well, I was hoping more of an FPS style where you don't have to be looking at the gun to pick it up, just walk over and press E
Is there a way to find entities (or specifically, weapons) within a radius? Or would I have to get all entities of class "weapon_*", and manually check the distances to see if the player is within a suitable distance? Because that seems computationally expensive, especially since we'll be working with vectors and a potentially huge list of weapons running every draw frame (or in a think hook, so that the "PRESS BLAH" message shows up)

[Chessnut]

ents.FindInSphere(vector, distance)

[Trumple]

Huzzah, you genius. Cheers

lua/bin

[amkoc]

Ok, this one might be a bit hard to understand...

I have a cylinder that acts like a trigger, I want to make anything that touches the cylinder get sucked toward the center of the cylinder's radius, but not move it toward either end of the cylinder.

No idea how.

How i can create a multidimensional table
I've tried

[lua]
apple = {} -- create the matrix
for i=1,20 do
apple[i] = {} -- create a new row
for j=1,20 do
apple[i][j] = 0
end
end
[/lua]

But, when i want write value i get a nil value error :S

The easiest way to fix it is to change

timer.Simple(Time, DoSound, ply, sound[2], num)

to

timer.Simple(Time, function() DoSound( ply, sound[2], num) end)
