[QUOTE=Ericson666;39098068]Is there any way to access an entity's information and tables if they're not spawned? Making a gungame mod, and I want to show the next and previous weapons on the HUD.

One of the main things about the gamemode is how you just need to put the weapon's folder w/ the shared.lua in the ents folder, and then put the name of the entity in weapon list. The gamemode handles randomizing and leveling up everyone with no further configuration. If it wasn't for this, I could just write another table with PrintNames and get them with a for loop, but that would require more configuration when it comes to adding/removing weapons, and it'd be a lot easier if I could get to the PrintName that's already in each weapon's shared.lua

Now that leads me to the small issue of getting the PrintName from a SWEP for the last/next weapon thing on the HUD. I can send the name of the entity from the weapon list ("gy_m249" for example) easily, but I'd rather have the actual PrintName, not the entity name.

[lua]ply:GetActiveWeapon().PrintName[/lua]

Using ^that, I can get the current weapon's name, but that's not really helping me with the previous and next weapon's PrintNames. Is there any way that I can look through the tables [URL="http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/index0a10.html"](like with this)[/URL] of an entity that isn't currently spawned?[/QUOTE]

Non-active weapons are still spawned and can be accessed, [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Classes/Player/GetWeapons[/url]

[QUOTE=Drakehawke;39098431]Non-active weapons are still spawned and can be accessed, [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Classes/Player/GetWeapons[/url][/QUOTE]

The thing is, the weapons aren't in their inventory, after each kill their weapons are stripped and they get the next level's weapon. I want to be able to access the entities/weapons/gy_weapon/shared.lua file while it's not spawned. After 2 hours of search, I'm starting to think it isn't possible without manually making a table

[karolisoz]

[QUOTE=shadowndacorner;39098423]Put a print function (print("CHANGING MATERIALS") or something) where you're doing that to make sure the code is actually running.

[editline]January 4 2013[/editline]
Actually, it should be SetMaterialTexture, not SetTexture. Ex.
[lua]
oldMaterial:SetMaterialTexture("$basetexture", GetHandsTexture(model):GetMaterialTexture("$basetexture"))
[/lua][/QUOTE]

I thought it's been SetTexture ever since Gmod13?

OH, I see what you mean, you're looking for weapons.Get( "classname" )

Is it possible to fill a rounded box with a gradient colour?

I have this code for giving a player a random melee weapon on spawn. I haven't gotten around to testing it yet but just want to check if I've got it right . Also, would this give each player a random weapon from that table or would it randomly pick one and give it to all players?

[lua]if (SERVER) then
AddCSLuaFile("autorun/ttt_randommelee.lua")
end

-- List of Melee Weapons
local ttt_melee = {
"weapon_ttt_something1"
"weapon_ttt_something1"
"weapon_ttt_something1"
"weapon_ttt_something1"
"weapon_ttt_something1"
"weapon_ttt_something1",
};

for k,v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
ply:Give(table.Random(ttt_melee))
end
end
hook.Add( "TTTBeginRound", "RandomMeleeWeapon", RandomMeleeWeapon ) [/lua]

Looks fine to me. It should give every player a different random weapon from that table. However, I believe this whole thing should be serverside so you won't really need that if statement at the beginning unless this is a shared file for some reason.

Edit:
Damn commas!!

Looks functional but it would give all players a random weapon each time that hook is called.

The table is wrong.
It should be :
[lua]
local ttt_melee = {
"weapon_ttt_something1",
"weapon_ttt_something1",
"weapon_ttt_something1",
"weapon_ttt_something1",
"weapon_ttt_something1",
"weapon_ttt_something1"
}
[/lua]

[lorde banana]

wait so you're looping through all of the players, and for every player you are giving the same player a random weapon?

Changed ply to v. You don't even need the ply variable for what you're trying to do.

I am having an issue with SQL database.
Fetching for what's saved inside returns table with "[1]" before it which makes sending it and changing it really troublesome

Doing:
[lua]local FetchData = sql.Query("SELECT xp, fame, infamy FROM xpm_players WHERE id ='"..self:SteamID().."'")[/lua]
Outputs:
[lua]
1:
xp = 133
fame = 144
infamy = 155
[/lua]

And to modify the stats I have to do self.XPMvars[1] = blah blah

or just when you set it use the first index of the SQL result

Well if I do self.XPMvars = self.XPMvars[1] wouldn't that make 2 tables:
self.XPMvars and self.XPMvars[1]

You could make a table for each restricted weapon and put players that pick them up inside.
Then if there are N players in the table and someone wants to pickup the weapon it'll simply return false

@Edit: Also, when I come to think about it, you could simply do table of restricted weapons and check for players with that weapon each time someone tries to pickup restricted weapon.

What data type to people use to store the steam id in that is returned on GM:PlayerAuthed? I saw that it is a 64bit integer, but that seems a little specialized for what is provided through mysql and sqlite.
