For the ones who rated me disagree: Player is already a function.

Anyone know how to fix the Module libary error when using the latest tmysql4 and libmysql?
Quick question
I'm a learner and I've gone through the gamemode scripting tutorials. Now I'd love to see if this works at all, but I can't figure out how to run the gamemode in Garry's Mod. I haven't played Garry's Mod in a few years so I'm new to the interface and all.
[QUOTE=Grondo4;38670866]How can I send a message between the server and an entity?[/QUOTE]
The entity exists on the server so you don't have to send any messages. You'll have to be clearer.

why does my gamemode show as Sandbox?
hope.txt -
"Gamemode"
{
"base" "base"
"title" "hope"
"maps" "^bhop_"
"menusystem" "1"
"workshopid" ""
}
happens on linux and windows dedi servers
this cannot be a lua error can it?
How do you make it so that when people spawn they are forced to become a certain player model? I tried PlayerSetModel and PlayerSpawn hooks but neither worked.

Did you start your server in sandbox then change it? It caches the game description.
Did you set GM.Name?

SRCDs does this to all the gamemodes I tried that were custom. It's SRCDs, not you.
When I added my fixed version of an old script, it worked ingame but the name said sandbox.

may be related, i just noticed that launching srcds and not changing the map to something else loads a kind of psuedo sandbox - my gamemode thing...
changing the map fixes it but what the hell
How do I make a multi-line string single-line? I mean, if i have a txt file that has multiple lines in it, then use file.Read to store the txt file contents to a stringvalue and then print the string to the output the output will be:
[CODE]line1
line2
line3
line4
line5[/CODE]
How do i make the string like
[CODE]line1line2line3line4line5[/CODE]
[lua]
str = str:gsub("[\n\r]", "")

How can I check if a vector is inside box created with 2 vectors?
Almost like ents.FindInBox, but instead of entity it uses vector.
But there is a twist, the 2 vectors are always opposite corners such as top-left-back
and bottom-right-front, but they might sometimes be top-right-back and bottom-left-front or any other combination but they still remain opposite.
That was a weird explanation, I hope someone can help me. :v:

How can I alter the skew/perspective on the image drawn at the bottom, such that it appears to lie flat on the ground?
Currently drawing the circles as a texture with draw.TexturedQuad, but I can probably make them with the drawcircle function. I just need to know how to make it look like it lies flat on the ground
Thanks for any help
If I make a shared table of map entities in InitPostEntity, most of the entities return null clientside. This isn't a very good example as my table is a lot larger and the entities seem to go null randomly.
[LUA]
// Shared
hook.Add("InitPostEntity", "test", function()
TABLETEST = {
Entity(803),
Entity(802),
Entity(800),
};
end)
[/LUA]

You could draw it in a 3D2D camera and change the angles around a bit.

Entities don't always exist clientside (only when the player is inside that visleaf)
[QUOTE=`impulse;38693809]You could draw it in a 3D2D camera and change the angles around a bit.[/QUOTE]
Thanks for the info. I looked it up a little, however I couldn't get anything to show up....
[lua]
cam.Start3D2D( Vector(0, 0, 0), Angle(0, 0, 0), 1 )
draw.SimpleText( "Hello!", "SBTextHead", 0, 0, Color(0,0,0), TEXT_ALIGN_LEFT, TEXT_ALIGN_LEFT)
cam.End3D2D()
[/lua]
That didn't show up anywhere, am I doing something wrong?

It's not solid for some reason. What am I missing?
[lua]
function ENT:Initialize()
if self.UseModel2 then
self:SetModel("models/props_combine/combine_fence01b.mdl")
else
self:SetModel("models/props_combine/combine_fence01a.mdl")
end
self:PhysicsInit(SOLID_VPHYSICS )
self:SetMoveType( MOVETYPE_VPHYSICS )
self:SetSolid( SOLID_VPHYSICS )
// Wake the physics object up. It's time to have fun!
self:GetPhysicsObject():EnableMotion( false );
local phys = self:GetPhysicsObject()
if (phys:IsValid()) then
phys:SetMass(300)
phys:EnableGravity( false )
phys:Wake()
end
end
