I think he means literally where, what file?

[Dooskington]

[QUOTE=Banana Lord.;34994689]override _R.Player.Nick
[/QUOTE]

What do you mean? Where do I place that line and how do I use it? I don't understand what it is on its own.

[Hugabuga]

In my sv_initialize, where everything else works fine, like printing all sv_ files.

[QUOTE=Duskling;34994518]How do I change a players name?

Sort of like ply:Name() = "derpface"

But when I tried that it didn't work. Is there a special way to do that?[/QUOTE]

A friendly advise; [url=http://www.lua.org/pil/]learn basic lua syntax[/url], then come back. It makes it easier for everyone.

What's the path to the file from the GMod base folder?

[Hugabuga]

gamemodes/LastStand_Rev2/entities/entities/

I just changed the _Entity to the right location so my code looks like th

[lua]
_Entity = "gamemodes/" .. LastStand.FolderName .. "/entities/entities/*"

print( "\n" )

for k, v in pairs( file.FindDir( _Entity ), true ) do

if ( v ) then

print( "-> ENTITY: " .. v .. " loaded" )

else

print( "-> Could not load " .. v )

end

end
[/lua]

I use file.FindInLua in my gamemode

[Hugabuga]

The problem is that I only want to find the folders in my entities directory.

works for me?

[editline]4th March 2012[/editline]

is LastStand.FolderName set at this point? try print(#file.FindDir("gamemodes/"..LastStand.FolderName.."/entities/entities/*"))

[Hugabuga]

Returns 0

[lorde banana]

[QUOTE=Persious;34996560]Returns 0[/QUOTE]

are you sure the path is correct then?

This is the full file:

Wait a sec, I think I got it.

[editline]4th March 2012[/editline]

Nah, didn't work.

[editline]4th March 2012[/editline]

Found the problem, as I added the ", true" outside of the file.FindDir :P

Trying to set a player model at the start of the game, but it doesnt seem to work. It only works if I call JoinCitizen with a console command.

function GM:PlayerInitialSpawn ( ply )
	JoinCitizen( ply )
end

function JoinCitizen( ply )
	ply:KillSilent()
	ply:SetTeam( TEAM_CITIZEN )
	ply:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, ply:Nick() .. " is now a Citizen!" )
	playerModel( ply )
end

function playerModel ( ply )
	local model = ply:GetModel()
	if ( model != PlayerModels[ply:Team()] ) then
	ply:SetModel( PlayerModels[ply:Team()] )
	print ( PlayerModels[ply:Team()] )
	end
end

Not sure why this is.. Could anybody please help me out?

I need someone to help me figure out how to set the turrets direction to the direction the owner is looking, I still need it to stand on the ground though so it doesnt fall over.
Help would be appreciated!
[lua]
local SpawnPos = tr.HitPos + tr.HitNormal*2
if util.PointContents(SpawnPos) & CONTENTS_SOLID > 0 then return false end
local ang = tr.HitNormal:Angle()
ang.y = ang.y + Angle(0,LocalPlayer():EyeAngles().y,0)//Wrong
local ply = self.Owner

local ent = ents.Create("npc_turret_floor")
ent:SetPos(SpawnPos)
ent:SetAngles(ang)
ent:SetOwner(ply)

My attempt at changing heads on a model:

My code:

[lua]local function ChangeHead(ent)
if ent:IsPlayer() then
local ply = ent
function ply.BuildBonePositions()
local bone = ply:LookupBone("ValveBiped.Bip01_Head1")
local vm = ply:GetBoneMatrix(bone)

vm:Scale(Vector(0.01, 0.01, 0.01))

ply:SetBoneMatrix(bone, vm)
end

local new = ClientsideModel("models/player/urban.mdl")
new:SetParent(ply)
new:AddEffects(EF_BONEMERGE | EF_NOSHADOW)

function new.BuildBonePositions()
for i = 1, new:GetBoneCount() do
if i != 6 then
if new:GetBoneName(i) != "__INVALIDBONE__" then
local vm = new:GetBoneMatrix(i)
vm:Scale(Vector(0.01, 0.01, 0.01))
new:SetBoneMatrix(i, vm)
end
end
end
end
end
end

hook.Add("OnEntityCreated", "ChangeHead", ChangeHead)[/lua]

Can someone help me please?

[ArmageddonScr]

You can't expect that to work on all the models.

Is this for DarkRP? If it is you shouldn't have to set it on spawn since the default is CITIZEN.

I'm making a Pose Parameter stool for the beta but the control panel part isn't working and I can't figure out why. I make it using the faceposer as a base and didn't change anything that should keep it from working.

Here is my code:
[url]http://pastebin.com/sgmcFMXE[/url]

On line 159 there is a debug print like that gets called but nothing still gets added to the control panel.
Can anyone see if I'm doing anything wrong?

[editline]4th March 2012[/editline]

This is my fist stool so I probably have made quite a few mistakes..

Also, I coded this in the beta

Does a STool has self.Owner function? I'm trying to test it with this code:
[lua]function TOOL:RightClick(tr)
MsgN("self.Owner - "..tostring(self.Owner))
end[/lua]
And it returns

self.Owner - [NULL Entity]

GMod 13 btw

You know what? I tried loading up that code in multiplayer and it returns

self.Owner - Player [1][Rimbas4.lt]

Is that a bug in singleplayer?
Gonna try your suggestion now.

Weird...

[lua]function TOOL:RightClick(tr)
MsgN("self.Owner - "..tostring(self.Owner).." ; self:GetOwner() - "..tostring(self:GetOwner()) )
end[/lua]

self.Owner - [NULL Entity] ; self:GetOwner() - Player [1][Rimbas4.lt]   [[SERVERSIDE]]
self.Owner - Player [1][Rimbas4.lt] ; self:GetOwner() - Player [1][Rimbas4.lt]   [[CLIENTSIDE]]

self.Owner serverside returns null entity. Okay, resolved my problem.

Hi, is there anyway to make the players current weapon's icon appear on his hud?

By icon i mean the image displayed for the weapon on the weapon selection.

I thought self.Owner and self.Weapon were deprecated years ago. Garry just kept them around so things wouldn't break.

That depends. Is it a SWEP or one of the default weapons?

[ZeroEightThree]

[QUOTE=Nerdeboy;35009857]That depends. Is it a SWEP or one of the default weapons?[/QUOTE]

I was hoping to do it for both.

But i think il start with the default ones for now.
