I'm thinking about making a new version of my wanted addon (I suppose you use my former one).
-snip- Turns out as a whole the Inflictor variable in the bullet table doesn't work as a whole, off I go to post a bug report.
I'm working on a gamemode similar to Killing Floor and games like it: randomly spawning waves of NPCs. I've been trying to get the prop_vehicle_apc and npc_apcdriver entities to work for use with it (i.e. an APC spawning around a corner and driving in your way).
So far, I've been able to get it to shoot at players and NPCs without any problems. It spawns successfully and without any errors. However...

[i]The assault begins, but with no causalities.[/i]
Neither the pulse gun mounted on the side or the rockets do any damage to any Rebel-aligned NPCs.

[i]Poor Kleiners.[/i]
It's not a problem with any of my code, because other NPCs can damage them just fine:

[i]Even with the low HP of the Kleiner NPC, a Combine's shotgun does more damage.[/i]
Also, players can still take damage, along with any NPC (that I've tested), just not the Rebels:

[i]I placed Gman there so the APC would have a target that wouldn't die so the APC could accidentally shoot the Combine soldiers.[/i]

I'm at a complete loss here.
Not only that, but I attempted to make the vehicle move using point_corners. It doesn't move at all, even if I fire StartForward on the APC NPC.
Here's the code I'm using to spawn it:
[code]
function ENT:Initialize()
self.APC = ents.Create("prop_vehicle_apc")
self.APC:SetModel("models/combine_apc.mdl")
self.APC:SetPos(self:GetPos())
self.APC:SetAngles(self:GetAngles())
self.APC:SetName("CombineAPC" .. self:EntIndex())
self.APC:SetKeyValue("vehiclescript", "scripts/vehicles/apc_npc.txt")
self.APC:Spawn()
self.APC:Activate()
self.APCDriver = ents.Create("npc_apcdriver")
self.APCDriver:SetPos(self:GetPos())
self.APCDriver:SetName("CombineAPC" .. self:EntIndex() .. "Driver")
self.APCDriver:SetKeyValue("vehicle", "CombineAPC" .. self:EntIndex())
self.APCDriver:Spawn()
self.APCDriver:Activate()
end
[/code]
...And here's the follow code (which works fine, all the prints fire, but it still doesn't move):
[code]
function ENT:Think()
if not IsValid(self.APC) or not IsValid(self.APCDriver) then
self:Remove()
return
end
local Pos = self.APC:OBBCenter()
Pos:Rotate(self.APC:GetAngles())
Pos = Pos + self.APC:GetPos()
self:SetPos(Pos)
self.APCDriver:SetPos(Pos)
local ClosestDistance = math.huge
for _, Ent in pairs(ents.GetAll()) do
if Ent ~= self and Ent ~= self.APC and Ent ~= self.APCDriver and ((Ent:IsNPC() or Ent:IsPlayer()) and Ent:GetModel()) and Ent:Health() > 0 and self.APCDriver:Disposition(Ent) == D_HT then
if util.TraceLine(
{
start = Pos,
endpos = Ent:GetPos(),
filter = {self, self.APC, self.APCDriver}
}
).Entity == Ent then
local Distance = Ent:GetPos():Distance(Pos)
if Distance < ClosestDistance then
ClosestDistance = Distance
self.Target = Ent
end
end
end
end
if IsValid(self.Target) and self.Target ~= self.OldTarget and Pos:Distance(self.Target:GetPos()) > 500 and math.random(1, 2000) then
print("Found an enemy.", self.Target, self.OldTarget)
if not IsValid(self.Path) then
print("Need to make a path.")
self.Path = ents.Create("path_corner")
self.Path:SetName("CombineAPC" .. self:EntIndex() .. "Target")
self.Path:Spawn()
self.Path:Activate()
print("Firing GotoPathCorner.")
self.APCDriver:Fire("GotoPathCorner", "CombineAPC" .. self:EntIndex() .. "Target")
end
print("Set pos.\n\n\n")
self.Path:SetPos(self.Target:GetPos())
self.Path:SetParent(self.Target)
self.OldTarget = self.Target
end
end
[/code]
My only guess as to why the follow code isn't working is that I'm incorrectly using GotoPathCorner and/or path_corners. But all my research tells me I'm doing it correctly.
A huge thanks to any possible help on this quite trivial matter.
[editline]13th December 2012[/editline]
Also, my apologies if this has been addressed before and I just didn't look hard enough.
[editline]13th December 2012[/editline]
Oh, and, yes, I have tried setting the position of the path_corner before I spawn it, no effect.

On the Additional Notes
If called for vmt or mdl files, all related files will be automatically added.
I'm guessing if you add a bleh.mdl file only the models bleh.vtx bleh.skn ect would get downloaded, but not the materials.[/QUOTE]
My experience with this is that it will NOT add all related files. I made a recursive scanner that adds all game-mode content to resource.AddFile for mdl, or the other which adds all related; it didn't work. If I did resource.AddFile for ALL files, it would make the table overflow. I'm using resource.AddSingleFile to go through all files, and it works flawlessly.
-snip-
I set player to spectate on initialSpawn and show the team menu right away so they can choose a team. The problem is that if there are multiple players in spectate at one time, then they'll 'spawn' on top of eachother and die.
Any ideas?
I tried enabling god-mode and setting the teammates to nocollide but it still didn't stop them from dying due to spawning on top of each other.
Could I get some help with the tmysql module? I'm not sure how to use it, it's been a while since I've touched the module so I can't remember anything...

If I remember correctly, you need to set the damage explictly via Entity.SetSaveValue. You should take a look at what Entity.GetSaveTable returns if there's anything related to damage in there.

SETKEYVALUES, ENT:FIRE AND SETSAVETABLE CAN ALL PRETTY MUCH DO THE SAME THING
FFS.
Also, no values like that in the npc. I'll try the vehicle.

I have tried:
[code]
self.APC:SetSaveValue("speed", "100")
self.APC:SetSaveValue("m_hNPCDriver", self.APCDriver)
self.APCDriver:SetSaveValue("speed", "100")
self.APCDriver:SetSaveValue("driverminspeed", "0.2")
self.APCDriver:SetSaveValue("drivermaxspeed", "1")
self.APCDriver:Fire("StartForward")
[/code]
...And nothing. Not even using an npc_vehicledriver helps.

If you're trying this with a pod or a seat, I've tried this. And asked about it. AFAIK, it is impossible to do what you're trying to do with seats without a module. Someone told me the pod/seat are hardcoded to never allow the driver to take damage. If you figure out a way to do it please let me know.
