What do you need help with? V3

[ash47]

I've been trying to get a basic SNPC working, copied the code from:
[url]http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/indexde03.html[/url]

Replaced:

self:CapabilitiesAdd( CAP_MOVE_GROUND | CAP_OPEN_DOORS | CAP_ANIMATEDFACE | CAP_TURN_HEAD | CAP_USE_SHOT_REGULATOR | CAP_AIM_GUN )

for:

self:CapabilitiesAdd(bit.bor( CAP_MOVE_GROUND, CAP_OPEN_DOORS, CAP_ANIMATEDFACE, CAP_TURN_HEAD, CAP_USE_SHOT_REGULATOR, CAP_AIM_GUN))

and I'm getting the following errors:

[ERROR] lua/includes/modules/ai_task.lua:117: bad argument #1 to 'RunEngineTask' (number expected, got nil)
  1. RunEngineTask - [C]:-1
   2. Run - lua/includes/modules/ai_task.lua:117
    3. RunTask - gamemodes/base/entities/entities/base_ai/schedules.lua:148
     4. DoSchedule - gamemodes/base/entities/entities/base_ai/schedules.lua:71
      5. unknown - gamemodes/base/entities/entities/base_ai/schedules.lua:22

Can someone point me in the right direction, I can't find anything to help...

Edit: [b]"Garry removed snpc functions a while ago while he works on better alternatives. Who knows why he removed them before any were added... "[/b]

you can use gui.EnableScreenClicker(bEnable) which allows you to use the mouse while still enabling you to use your binds.

SV_CreatePacketEntities: GetEntServerClass happens when a ragdoll is removed. What causes this? :)

[Trumple]

EDIT: FIXED (Thanks to Chessnut for pointing out my silliness) by centring the image then drawing it outside a 2D3D block

[lua]
local plyeye = LocalPlayer():EyeAngles()
local warningAngle = Angle(0, plyeye.y - 90, 90)
local point = Vector(0,0,0)
cam.Start3D2D( point, Angle(0, 0, 0), 1 )

draw.TexturedQuad
{
texture = surface.GetTextureID "cubejailbreak/marker",
color = Color(200, 200, 200, 255),
x = 0,
y = 0,
w = 80,
h = 80
}
cam.End3D2D()

cam.Start3D2D( point, warningAngle, 1 )
draw.TexturedQuad
{
texture = surface.GetTextureID "cubejailbreak/warning",
color = Color(200, 200, 200, 255),
x = 0,
y = 0,
w = 60,
h = 60
}
cam.End3D2D()
cam.End3D();
[/lua]

At my wits end here. I need to draw a 2D circle flat on the ground. That draws just fine and dandy. The next draw/2D3D cam is supposed to draw another texture hovering above the circle on the ground and facing the player. I got it to face the player just fine, however the problem comes when viewing the point from different angles. Below is a picture starting at rotation 0, ending at 360 in increments of 90 degrees anticlockwise. If you imagine a camera at the "point" vector, this behaviour makes perfect sense. Trouble is, how do I correct it? I would like the hovering texture to always be above the circle on the ground... (shown here on the ground just for ease of seeing what I mean)

you removed it on the client. Which is a no-no.

How can I assign god mode on a team on spawn for a certain amount of time?

When doing net.SendToServer() clientside, is it possible to get the player that is sending in net.Receive()?

[Luni]

[QUOTE=ms333;38745044]When doing net.SendToServer() clientside, is it possible to get the player that is sending in net.Receive()?[/QUOTE]
Yes, net.Receive's callback takes two arguments serverside

[lua]local function netHelloWorld(len, ply)
print(ply:Nick() .. 'says, "Hello, world!"')
end
net.Receive("helloworld", netHelloWorld)[/lua]

[QUOTE=Bandit Kitteh;38745004]How can I assign god mode on a team on spawn for a certain amount of time?[/QUOTE]
Use ply:GodEnable() when he spawns and create a timer to call ply:GodDisable() on him.

Just make sure he's still valid when the timer goes off.

[lua]function GM:PlayerSpawn(ply)
...
-- Start spawn protection
ply:GodEnable()
local function unprotect()
if IsValid(ply) then
ply:GodDisable()
end
end
timer.Simple(30, unprotect)
...
end[/lua]

Probably a good idea to use a few other hooks to disable spawn protection if he moves too far from his spawnpoint or fires a weapon etc

damn it.

How would I color the hands of my weapon that I am holding?
This colors the weapon but not my hands:

LocalPlayer():GetViewModel():SetColor(Color(50,50,50))

I've tried multiple combinations but no luck of coloring the hands.

[Chessnut]

It uses the weapon color thing.

player:SetWeaponColor( Vector(0, 1, 0) )

I think.

[brandonj4]

[QUOTE=Chessnut;38746950]It uses the weapon color thing.

player:SetWeaponColor( Vector(0, 1, 0) )

I think.[/QUOTE]

[URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Classes/Player/SetWeaponColor"]It[/URL] didn't change the color of it.

[lua]
if SERVER then
ply:SetWeaponColor(Vector(1,0,0))--inside concommand
else
LocalPlayer():SetWeaponColor(Vector(1,0,0))
end
[/lua]

Assuming it doesn't work for most models.

[CrashLemon]

Here's what I use clientside and it works, don't know why yours doesn't work.

[lua]
local self = LocalPlayer()

-- Set our viewmodel color
self:GetViewModel():SetColor( self.viewModelColor )
self:GetViewModel():SetRenderMode( RENDERMODE_TRANSALPHA )[/lua]

[brandonj4]

[QUOTE=CrashLemon;38747090]-bad reading-[/QUOTE]

I said it doesn't change the color of the [B][U]hands[/U][/B] and arms, it works perfectly fine on the weapon.

[CrashLemon]

[QUOTE=brandonj4;38747142]I said it doesn't change the color of the [B][U]hands[/U][/B] and arms, it works perfectly find on the weapon.[/QUOTE]

It does change colors of hands here. That's why I'm wondering why yours doesn't work.

[B]Edit[/B]: Although I just found out that it works on CS:S models and not HL2 models.

[B]Edit 2:[/B] I'm wondering why you assumed that I misread your post yet I never mentioned in mine that it only colored the weapon.

Yeah sorry, I figured it should work on all models but I was testing it on a hl2 pistol.

I tried doing what you suggested with the Fog and in gm_flatgrass, [B]the color will not change on the fog in the skybox.[/B]
[lua]
local fog = ents.FindByClass("env_fog_controller")
if fog[1] then
-- PrintTable(fog[1]:GetKeyValues())
fog[1]:SetKeyValue("fogcolor", "0 0 0")
fog[1]:SetKeyValue("fogstart", "1")
fog[1]:SetKeyValue("fogend", "9000")
end
local skycam = ents.FindByClass("sky_camera")
if skycam[1] then
-- PrintTable(skycam[1]:GetKeyValues())
skycam[1]:SetKeyValue("fogcolor", "0 0 0")
skycam[1]:SetKeyValue("fogstart", "1")
skycam[1]:SetKeyValue("fogend", "9000")
end
[/lua]

[QUOTE=Trumple;38740832]Post the code[/QUOTE]

I forgot, sorry.

[lua]
local parent, size, bone, pos, ang, mod, and_offset

function ENT:Initialize()
--mod = ClientsideModel(self:GetModel())
end

local LocalPlayer = LocalPlayer

function ENT:Draw()
parent = parent or self:GetDTEntity(1)

vector = vector or hats[self:GetDTFloat(2)].vector_offset
ang_offset = ang_offset or hats[self:GetDTFloat(2)].ang_offset
bone = bone or parent:LookupBone( self:GetDTString( 1 ) )
pos, ang = parent:GetBonePosition(bone)

--mod = mod or ClientsideModel( self:GetModel() )

/*if offset then
mod:SetRenderOrigin( pos + self:offset(pos, ang ))
else
mod:SetRenderOrigin( pos )
end

mod:SetRenderAngles( ang )

mod:SetModelScale( size, 1 )

mod:SetupBones()

mod:DrawModel()*/

if parent == LocalPlayer() then return end

if vector then
self:SetRenderOrigin( vector( pos, ang ) )
else
self:SetRenderOrigin( pos )
end

if ang_offset then
ang_offset(ang)
self:SetRenderAngles( ang )
else
self:SetRenderAngles( ang )
end

self:SetModelScale( size, 1 )

self:SetupBones()

self:DrawModel()
end[/lua]

All of the DTVars exist, all of the functions exist, i have even made debug prints to make sure, so that's not the case. The model just dissappears when facing a certain direction. I can't record it on a video cause my pc is slightly more powerfull than a microwave.

Hi. Is there a way to delete all contents from a sheet? There's an AddSheet() function, but I'm missing something like ClearSheet(). :/

[B]DPropertySheet [/B][url]http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/indexb285.html[/url]

[B]Edit 1:[/B] I think this problem may be solved. :P Looks like ULX Lib has a useful function for this. Now I'll just have to figure out how to use it. /reading

Oh, and here's the link if somebody is interested in this: [url]https://gist.github.com/SticklyMan/xgui/blob/master/lua/ulx/modules/cl/xgui_helpers.lua[/url]

[B]Edit 2:[/B] Okay, this Clear() function seems to be enabled by default and works fine so I assume maurits wiki is outdated? :P

mysqloo, it starts at around 40 players. Takes ages to execute the query

Are you calling db:status() to check if the database is connected before you run each query?

[Matt W]

[QUOTE=Drakehawke;38750860]Are you calling db:status() to check if the database is connected before you run each query?[/QUOTE]

Nope, this is the code i'm using for queries
[lua]
function DB:Query(query, callback, test)
if !query then -- Check to make sure the right args are being passed
print("Error executing query, no query specified.")
return
else

local q = DB:query(query) -- Execute the query

if !q then return end
function q:onSuccess(data) -- If query is success
if callback then callback(data) end
end

function q:onError(err, qur) -- If it fails
print("Error executing query, "..qur.." with error: "..err)
end

q:start()
end
end
[/lua]

i searched for dbutton toggle functionality and there were posts saying that it exists, but i have no idea how to do it.

should i just make a var toggle? or is there a visually represented dbutton toggle thing im not seeing?

Any ideas why this:

local effectdata = EffectData()
effectdata:SetEntity( self.Entity )
util.Effect( "lightsaber_blade", effectdata )

won't create the damn effect for some people?

Try using self, self.Entity just re-routes to the entity garry even wanted to remove it I think.

Can someone tell me what [b][url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Classes/Weapon/CallOnClient]Weapon:CallOnClient()[img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img][/url][/b]

exactly does?

Is it a single function which gets called on the client or does it make the whole weapon script to be called on the client?
