What do you need help with? V3

[BlackAwps]

[QUOTE=Trumple;38694674]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?
Cheers

[B]Called in a HUDPaint hook, and the hook is working correctly[/B][/QUOTE]

That's your problem. If you want to use it in HUDPaint, you will also need cam.Start3D/cam.End3D to create the 3D space.

[JetBoom]

You probably want to just draw a quad in one of the world rendering hooks (PostDrawTranslucentEntities?). Don't know why you would want to futz around with 2D stuff.

[lua]
local tr = util.TraceLine(tracestuff)
render.SetMaterial(matCircle)
render.DrawQuadEasy(tr.HitPos + tr.HitNormal, tr.HitNormal, 32, 32, color_white, 0)
[/lua]

Ah ok, thanks! I'll give it a go later

I don't know if this is a lua problem or source engine but:

I am making a env_headcrabcanister entity and it works.
But when it lands, sometimes it causes the server to crash.

Does anyone know why ? I tried googling it but didn't find anything useful. (Call me Jeffrey if you find it in 2 seconds.)

Is it possible to hook a collision check to a "no-collide with everything" entity? Like when another entity tries to touch the no-collide entity. I tried the ShouldCollide hook but it didnt seem to work at all with anything

How would you write server side lua to block a client from running a console command?

What do you want to block?

Could anyone please tell me how to force unscope a SWEP about 0.2 seconds after it is fired? Would be most appreciated. Searching the wiki etc is finding zero results.

[centran]

[QUOTE=Darkwater124;38700868]What do you want to block?[/QUOTE]

Well the actual command didn't really matter for my question but since you ask, I want to block players from using the act commands.

show your code

[QUOTE=amkoc;38701696]show your code[/QUOTE]

For the scope?

function SWEP:SecondaryAttack()
    if not self.IronSightsPos then return end
    if self.Weapon:GetNextSecondaryFire() > CurTime() then return end
    
    bIronsights = not self:GetIronsights()
    
    self:SetIronsights( bIronsights )
    
    if SERVER then
        self:SetZoom(bIronsights)
     else
        self:EmitSound(self.Secondary.Sound)
    end
    
    self.Weapon:SetNextSecondaryFire( CurTime() + 0.3)
	self.Weapon:SetNextPrimaryFire( CurTime() + 0.75)
end

[lua]
print(pos:WithinAABox(start,stop))

Yet it returns false, I can't get my head around this stuff.
It probably has something to do about the rotation of the box.
Here's the vectors:

start = 464.608063 116.650543 291.452698
stop = 187.604889 -85.528511 106.157623

Your position's Z value is too low. It's outside the box.

Have you tried swapping the order of the Start and Stop arguments in the function? If so try this:

[lua]
function WithinAABB( Start, Stop, Point )

local x = ( Point.x > Stop.x and Point.x < Start.x ) or ( Point.x < Stop.x and Point.x > Start.x )
local y = ( Point.y > Stop.y and Point.y < Start.y ) or ( Point.y < Stop.y and Point.y > Start.y )
local z = ( Point.z > Stop.z and Point.z < Start.z ) or ( Point.z < Stop.z and Point.z > Start.z )

return ( x and y and z )

end
[/lua]

haven't tested it so consider it pseudo-code, but My best guess is the that the arguments could need to be in a different order.

Edit: Ninja, I didn't bother checking your values.

[Ollie]

Hmm, I tried switching them to start,stop and it printed correctly.
But I have 2 different positions I'm checking and the other one's layout is following:

[IMG]http://puu.sh/1x6bs[/IMG]

So now it works for the other but not for that one.
Not even
[lua]
print((pos:WithinAABox(start,stop) or pos:WithinAABox(stop,start)))
[/lua]
worked.

I'll try your code now.

EDIT:

Your code works, thank you so much!

Quick question;
Is there a way to assign a function to be called when a ConVar (created by CreateConVar()) was changed?

[QUOTE=centran;38700761]How would you write server side lua to block a client from running a console command?[/QUOTE]

So I thought this might be as simple as adding a concommand with the same name to override the command but it is looking to be more difficult the more I try to research this.
I thought that some of the white/black list style anti-cheat/hack blocked certain commands by overriding them and that I could the same. However, I think that is only for commands the user has created and you can't do that for built in commands.

Anyone have any ideas about this?

[ReverendV92]

Okay, so I just found out about [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Player_Classes"]the new Player Classes[/URL] and I'm trying to implement them into my gamemode, but it isn't working and I know next to nothing about lua so I can't figure out how to make it work without any documentation.

Essentially, I have a derma menu with buttons, and each button is supposed to change your class; the derma function is in client, and the class change is in server. There isn't any documentation that explains how to make it work and I have no examples to use or look at.

Here is the relevant client code:

-- Medic
bdBluClass7 = vgui.Create( "DButton" ) 
   bdBluClass7:SetText( "Medic - M416" ) 
    bdBluClass7.DoClick = function() 
    surface.PlaySound( "jessev92/bf2/menu/kitSelect.wav" )
        RunConsoleCommand("bd_mode_medic416") -- Run command
        frame:Close()
    end 
CategoryList:AddItem( bdBluClass7 ) 

Here is the relevant server code:

function class_Medic()
  
    MsgN("Test1") -- This prints
    player_manager.SetPlayerClass( ply, "soldier_medic" ) - This gives no error
  
end
concommand.Add("bd_mode_medic416", class_Medic)

No errors are given.

The custom class name is 'soldier_medic'.

Edit:
any errors I do get are the same every time:

lua/includes/modules/player_manager.lua:148: attempt to index local 'ply' (a nil value)

[TheTrueAndy]

I need to reproduce SetModelScale().

I can't figure out a new offset for my model scale. I think it's because the Matrix():Scale(vec) function [b]just scales[/b], and SetModelScale() did actualy [b]set[/b] the scale.

This was the former code.
[lua]
self.leftwing:SetModelScale(Vector(1,0.5,1)*self.Size*self.WingSize)
self.rightwing:SetModelScale(Vector(1,0.5,1)*self.Size*self.WingSize)

self.bleftwing:SetModelScale(Vector()*(self.Size/3*self.WingSize))
self.brightwing:SetModelScale(Vector()*(self.Size/3*self.WingSize))
[/lua]
This is the current code. (fucked up the model scale)
[lua]
local vec = Vector(1,0.5,1)*self.Size*self.WingSize
local vec2 = Vector()*(self.Size/3*self.WingSize)

local mat = Matrix()
mat:Scale(vec)
self.leftwing:EnableMatrix("RenderMultiply", mat)
self.rightwing:EnableMatrix("RenderMultiply", mat)
mat:Scale(vec2)
self.bleftwing:EnableMatrix("RenderMultiply", mat)
self.brightwing:EnableMatrix("RenderMultiply", mat)[/lua]

So basicaly I have to make a function which actualy sets the scale, basicaly like the old function.

Help please!

SV_CreatePacketEntities: GetEntServerClass failed for ent 551

What does that mean?

[KatNotDinner]

I'm having a problem. I set some models' render origin and angles via the SetRenderOrigin|Angles. It works great.

The models are drawing at a specified player's head pos and angles.

The problem is that when this player turns at a specified angle, the model stops drawing until he turns at some other specified angle. Ideas?
