What do you need help with? V3

[me-name-bob]

Is there any way to re-size a texture with a variable in a .vmt? I don't want to have to take over 60 pictures again if resizing is an option.

Also, is there a way yet to make SWEPS usable by NPC's? I've got this in autorun...
[lua]list.Set( "NPCWeapons", "name of weapon", "print_name" )[/lua]

and This in my SWEP Base...
[lua]function SWEP:GetCapabilities()
return CAP_WEAPON_RANGE_ATTACK1, CAP_INNATE_RANGE_ATTACK1
end[/lua]

but I still can't get NPCs to use these weapons.

[QUOTE=zerothefallen;38761175]Hey, I noticed recently that the scoreboard for TTT has.. disappeared and pretty much is disorganized. I've been looking through the lua for evolve and I don't get if it's Evolve's fault or my own. What's broken?

It gives no errors, they just disappear. EG No dead players are showing, and my karma disappears, but everyone else is there. This isn't clientside because this happens for everyone.

Does evolve cause this?

My fix on the pokeball SWEP IS working, but it keeps making this error:

[ERROR] addons/baddog's pokeballs/lua/entities/pb_base/shared.lua:72: bad argument #1 to 'Create' (string expected, got userdata)

The code to "store" the NPC for the pb_base works, but gives this:

NPC [174][npc_magnusson]

not

npc_magnusson

How do I fix this!?

You're passing the entity, you need to be passing the entities class

For example ent where it should be ent:GetClass()

Can't really help you more than that without seeing some code

[Dayto11]

Could some one please help me with this code.
function AddDir(dir) // Recursively adds everything in a directory to be downloaded by client
local list = file.FindDir("../"..dir.."/*")
for _, fdir in pairs(list) do
if fdir != ".svn" then // Don't spam people with useless .svn folders
AddDir(dir.."/"..fdir)
end
end

for k,v in pairs(file.Find(dir.."/*", true)) do
resource.AddFile(dir.."/"..v)
end
end

I'm trying to make it so it downloads files from an addon any help would b appropriated thanks.

Thank you!! The last part is this, the DoColorstuff function

function ENT:DoColorstuff(ent) --Hacky way of doing this, but it looks cool so what the hell
	if ent and ent:IsValid() and ent:IsNPC() then
			local r = 255
			ent:SetMaterial( "models/props_combine/prtl_sky_sheet" )
		timer.Simple(3.0, function() ent:Remove() end )
	end
end

When this gets called (as in not commented out) it does NOT store the entity. Is there a way to store it AND remove the entity?

Trying to make Alyx attack a player, she just follows me around. Is this not possible to do?

local ent = ents.Create("npc_alyx")
ent:Give("weapon_smg1")
ent:AddEntityRelationship(player.GetByID(1), 1, 99 )
ent:Spawn()

Make it so:

ent:Fire("setrelationship","player d_li 97", 1, 99)

Not sure, I used this in a remake of a SWEP. (a different way it was written)

[NO LOAFING!]

What do I have to do to make a SENT's eyes movable? As it is now, my SENT's eyes are always locked onto the center point of the map (0,0,0), and trying to use Entity:SetEyeTarget() doesn't do anything at all, no matter where I call it or what I set it to. If I use the eye poser tool on it instead, it draws the lines from the SENT's eyes to the crosshair, but the eyes themselves never move. What am I supposed to do here? Is there something I have to set, or is this just not possible?

Hello everyone, can someone please tell me whats wrong with this line of code, it dosent seem to work.
Thanks on advance.

hook.Add('PlayerDeath', 'PS_PlayerDeath', function(victim, inflictor, attacker)
	if attacker:IsPlayer() and attacker:IsValid() and not victim == attacker then
		attacker:PS_GivePoints(1, "killed " .. victim:Nick())
	end
end)

Still unable to get anyone to attack me, I've tried every combo. If I spawn a combine and make him friendly he ignores me, if I spawn a combine and make him hate me he aims at me but doesn't fire at me.

Added two combine soldiers, made them hate each other, they'll punch each other but not shoot, they just stare each other down.

Something else must be wrong, the npc's just stare at me with hatred but refuse to shoot. I'll keep reading through the wiki, or if anyone else has any suggestions. Thanks

Can someone help me. I've been trying to add custom props/models to my RP gamemode for example some drinks like these [url]http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=98695[/url]. After I downloaded them I. I putted them in model/drinks and materials/drinks in my content folder on my gamemode. After making a entity with the .mdl model it only showed the prop but not the material. So it was pink and black (texture error) Can someone please tell me why this is happening?

[amkoc]

How do I use ShouldCollide to determine weither the player is actually touching the thing, or just shooting at it?

I want it to block player movement but not traces (i.e, shots)

[legodude]

Want to spawn 5 npc's randomly in the map, and ensure that they do not spawn under or inside of the brush.
Was going to use a trace from above the terrain going straight down till it hit, add 64 to Z then use that point to spawn them, but not fully sure trace is even hitting the world...

Any place where I can find some help with traces?

I've attempted to look into this myself, but I don't see what's wrong. timer.simple has it's delay and function, but apparently it's wrong.

I edited it to this, this should work right?

[lua]
local func = function()

if self.Entity then

self:Explode()

end

timer.Simple(2, func)

I don't know if this has been asked, but how do I get rid of the World Model on a SWEP?

[Turtle95]

This is rather annoying me,

I'm trying to store the NPC class on hitting them with the SENT, but if I remove them, the picked up SENT will be nill/null!

function ENT:DoColorstuff(ent) --Hacky way of doing this, but it looks cool so what the hell
	if IsValid(ent) and ent:IsNPC() then
			local r = 255
			ent:SetMaterial( "models/props_combine/prtl_sky_sheet" )
		timer.Simple(0.1, function()
			ent:SetColor(r, 0, 0, 255)
			
		end)
		timer.Simple(3.0, function() 
		
		ent:Remove()

		end )
end
end

I tried setting it before removing, but it keeps on becoming null no matter what.
