What do you need help with? V3

[lorde banana]

[QUOTE=Orgy;39273439]Indeed. Didn't realize I couldn't use 0 as the second argument in hook.Add. I've seen it used in examples, why wouldn't it work for me?

Oh well, I changed it to a string and it worked.

Thanks![/QUOTE]

Yeah it recently changed to only accept strings

Yes but how would I paint it without affecting anything but the background color?

Try using CRYSIS Bold as the font name instead.

[QUOTE=pilot;39273586]That was a mistake I put on Facepunch.

FIX:

concommand.Add( "This", Function )

for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
    if v:KeyReleased( KEY_G ) then
     v:ConCommand("This") 
    end
end

Although it is still broken.[/QUOTE]

For one, KeyReleased only accepts IN_ keys, not the KEY_ keys.

Also if you want that to happen every time someone releases something it needs to be in a hook.

[Mr.Pilot]

How about this?

concommand.Add( "This", Function )

local players = player.GetAll()
for _, player in ipairs( players ) do
   if( player:KeyReleased( IN_ALT1 ) ) then
      ConCommand( "This" )
   end
end

If you press and release W, the command will be ran.

Thanks so much! But would it be possible to get the same results with KEY_ *enums?

[fairy]

[QUOTE=pilot;39274345]Thanks so much! But would it be possible to get the same results with KEY_ *enums?[/QUOTE]

You'd have to make a clientside portion to check if the key is down. Add this in a clientside file:
[lua]hook.Add("Think", "imgay", function()
if input.IsKeyDown(KEY_G) then
RunConsoleCommand("This")
end
end)[/lua]

I don't know the clientside way to get when a KEY_ is released, you'd have to check the wiki.

[QUOTE=zzaacckk;39273941]Try using CRYSIS Bold as the font name instead.[/QUOTE]

This is what I have changed it to

function GM:Initalize()
     surface.CreateFont( "Crysis",
     {
                    font    = "CRYSIS Bold",
                    size    = 24,
                    weight  = 400,
                    antialias = true,
                    shadow = true
            })
end
 
function GM:HUDPaint()
    self.BaseClass:HUDPaint()
    local ply = LocalPlayer()
    local wep = LocalPlayer():GetActiveWeapon()
    local HP  = LocalPlayer():Health()
    local ARM = LocalPlayer():Armor()
    
     
    surface.SetTextColor( 20, 180, 50, 255)
    surface.SetTextPos( 20, 20 )
    surface.SetFont( "Crysis" )
    surface.DrawText( "Health: "..HP)
      
  
end

it tells me this:

[ERROR] gamemodes/tutorialgamemode/gamemode/cl_init.lua:40: 'Crysis' isn't a valid font

  1. SetFont - [C]:-1
   2. unknown - gamemodes/tutorialgamemode/gamemode/cl_init.lua:40

Also, does the font have to be placed somewhere in the gamemode folders?

[lorde banana]

try moving the surface.CreateFont outside of GM:Initialize

How would I get a player's steam ID in LUA? I passed in ply from PlayerSay and used ply:SteamID(), but it just returns STEAM_0:0:0

Certainly that's not my Steam ID

EDIT: Could it be because I'm playing locally rather than on a server?

You can't get SteamID's on a local server. Only works multiplayer. You're doing it right though.

Alright, thanks. I wish I could help you with your problem but I really have no idea.

[brandonj4]

I'm starting to think what i'm trying to do is impossible. I'm trying to replace a texture on one playermodel/item/entity.
The only problem is[B] I don't[/B] want to replace the entire texture for everybody's model like this would:
[lua]
local mat = Material("models/kleiner/players_sheet")
local mat2 = Material("models/humans/male/group01/players_sheet")
mat:SetTexture( "$basetexture", mat2:GetTexture( "$basetexture" ) )
[/lua]

Is it possible to do this with lua, or would I have to learn modelling and use bodygroups?

[NoobinNeed]

I have a question:

How can I detect an AI node with lua? I want to give NPCs a randomized path (on a noded map) towards a certain location, and the way I'm thinking of going about it would be to start at the nearest node, get the direction of the target, add some randomness to the directional vector, then go a random distance from that and find the nearest node to set the move order to.

Thanks in advance, guys.

It worked! But issue is...if you hold it down it starts showing up like 100 times. I think this is because I'm holding it down. I wonder if there is a release option for that.

You could always do something like this
[lua]
local haspushed = false
hook.Add("Think", "imgay", function()
if input.IsKeyDown(KEY_G) and !haspushed then
haspushed = true
RunConsoleCommand("This")
else
haspushed = false
end
end)

That essentially worked, but what happens is that it turns on 100000 times when pressing G. I was given this by a friend:

local Delay=5
local CurTimeB=0
hook.Add("Think", "Filler", function() 
    if input.IsKeyDown(KEY_F) and not CurTime() < CurTimeB then 
        RunConsoleCommand("This") CurTimeB=CurTime()+Delay 
    end 
end)

But I get the error:

[ERROR] RunString:61: attempt to compare boolean with number
  1. v - RunString:61
   2. unknown - lua/includes/modules/hook.lua:82

[Zaubermuffin]

I'm currently trying to create a binary module and would like to get a bit deeper into lua itself. I remember that somewhere, Garry said that he wanted to give people the opportunity to use the lua API directly instead of his OOP approach.

Is that still true? Whenever I try to use lua functions, I'm required to add the header - which in turn will require the symbols. I don't know which version of luaJIT GMod exactly uses (and even then, compiling that or getting it to compile is a pain).

Edit: Figured it out. By taking normal luajit headers and creating an own .lib for garrysmod/bin/lua_shared.dll (using dumpbin, creating a .def file and lib that, all done in the VS toolset) and then linking to that, it works smoothly. All the lua functions \o/
