I haven't even touched GLua since before garrysmod 13 and I am not caught up with the whole new system yet. How can I test a gamemode on my local server? Is there some sort of thign for legacy gamemodes similar to legacy addons?

[QUOTE=luavirusfree;38770731][ERROR] lua/entities/mariofire/init.lua:27: invalid escape sequence near '"models'[/QUOTE]

Backslashes in your path. Either use two backslashes (like \\) or replace them with forward slashes.

Hey!
Need some help.....
This code:

280:function SWEP:SetScope(b, player)

	if CLIENT then return end

	// Only play zoom sounds when chaning in/out of scope mode
285:// Just in case
286:self.Weapon:SetNetworkedFloat("ScopeZoom", self.ScopeZooms[self.CurScopeZoom])

	if (b) then 
		if (PlaySound) then
290:		self.Weapon:EmitSound(sndZoomIn)
		end
	else
		if PlaySound then
			self.Weapon:EmitSound(sndZoomOut)
295:	end
	end
	
	// Send the scope state to the client, so it can adjust the player's fov/HUD accordingly
	self.Weapon:SetDTBool(2, b) 
end

Returns this:

Use lua tags, and don't use self.Weapon, just use self.

I have a dhtml panel working as a little youtube player for fun, but I have hit a brick wall when it comes to actually knowing how to communicate between the html/js and lua...

e.g. I want to store these vars in lua for displaying in a dlabel:

<span class="duration-time html5-duration-time">[highlight]5:11[/highlight]</span>
<meta name="title" content="[highlight]Initial D- GAS GAS GAS[/highlight]">

if somebody knows how it would be great [img]http://sae.tweek.us/static/images/emoticons/emot-unsmith.gif[/img]

They both return false.

[luavirusfree]

So, it means that those functions don't run?

Im trying to make a scoreboard to a gamemode. So i started to relate to other gamemodes and see how they did it, i tried to include cl_scoreboard.lua to init.lua and cl.init.lua but i really dont know how to add a scoreboard to a gamemode that has normal sandbox scoreboard if you can help me please do.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I tried to include a cl_scoreboard.lua but when i started the gamemode up it couldnt find the file.

I am trying to adjust a model to a slope. How can I get the pitch of the ground which the model should spawn on? Traces on every edge of the model?

[garry]

Trace down, the hit normal contains the direction the slope is facing. Just convert it to an angle :)

[TheTrueAndy]

[QUOTE=garry;38780204]Trace down, the hit normal contains the direction the slope is facing. Just convert it to an angle :)[/QUOTE]
Ok it seems that's the right way, but my model lays on the side on a normal ground with zero pitch.

[lua]cliff:SetAngles( Angle(trace.HitNormal:Angle().p, math.random(0,360), trace.HitNormal:Angle().r ))[/lua]

I feel like I forget something simple.

[disseminate]

This is what I do in Vein:

[lua]local trace = { };
trace.start = ent:GetPos();
trace.endpos = trace.start - Vector( 0, 0, 4096 );
trace.filter = ent;
local tr = util.TraceLine( trace );

local n = tr.HitNormal:Angle();

ent:SetAngles( Angle( n.p + 90, n.y, n.r ) );[/lua]

[QUOTE=Disseminate;38780570]This is what I do in Vein:

[lua]local trace = { };
trace.start = ent:GetPos();
trace.endpos = trace.start - Vector( 0, 0, 4096 );
trace.filter = ent;
local tr = util.TraceLine( trace );

local n = tr.HitNormal:Angle();

ent:SetAngles( Angle( n.p + 90, n.y, n.r ) );[/lua][/QUOTE]
Thanks! The + 90 was needed.

Do you know if a function exists for changing the shading on entities?
I apply the engine.LightStyle(int, str) and it only applies to the map's brushes.

Huge n00b here, trying to make a little auto-health generator script. Doesn't work of course, what did I do wrong..

function AutoHealth( ply )
local ply = LocalPlayer()
local health = ply:Health()
local maxhealth = ply.GetMaxHealth()
if((health) < (maxhealth)) then
ply:SetHealth( maxhealth )
end
end

Remember pls bare with me here lol

Now 'self' is returning nil :/

[LostInTheWired]

[QUOTE=Lolman123;38782943]Now 'self' is returning nil :/[/QUOTE]

I'm guess self is out of scope somehow. I always screw scope up with lua. You're going to want to make sure that call is in the SWEP:Whatever function declaration, and you don't have an extra end somewhere before it.
