I already did that, but it just uses a SkinHook. I don't know how to fuck with those.

Trying to work out when a func_door takes damage (with entitytakedamage). For some reason this is only called when a prop_door_rotating is hit- does anyone know why, or of an easy workaround?

I'm trying to put a grappling hook on a friend's TTT server but I'm awful at lua (really, really awful) and I need some help. I used [URL="http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=126280"]this grappling hook[/URL] for most of the code, and I only made a shared.lua file and put it in my entities/weapons/weapon_ttt_grapple folder because I didn't know if I needed to make anything else other than the shared file :v:

if I have GM.Box = {} in init.lua and I have include("server/main.lua") in init.lua, if I were to refer to GM.Box in main.lua it wouldn't be nil, correct?

Because it's nil.

are you including it before or after you assign it?

[B]PEOPLE, I NEED HELP![/B]

How can I allow certain steam ids in a txt file be able to have access to donator privelages, without being in the donator group? (Because some admins on the server i work on are donators and some are not)

I made a txt file in the data folder, so in game I could add steam ids to it using a derma menu and the file.Write function. I just need to know how a Lua file can read that txt file (using file.read) and then give those steam ids permissions.

Perhaps I could make an ulx donator group which nobody is in, and then let the steam ids inherit from that (but let them still be in anotherulx group in game)

I would like to do it by using this method:
[QUOTE=Science;30044500]Go to [B]sh_commands.lua[/B]

[B]Line 494[/B]
[lua] local a = CTeam.admin
if a > 0 and not ply:IsAdmin()
or a > 1 and not ply:IsSuperAdmin()
then
Notify(ply, 1, 4, string.format(LANGUAGE.need_admin, CTeam.name))
return ""
end[/lua][/quote]

and maybe change it to something like:

[lua] local a = CTeam.admin
if a > 0 and not ply:IsAdmin()
or a > 1 and not ply:IsSuperAdmin()
or a > 3 and not ply:SteamID() == file.read("file.txt")
then
Notify(ply, 1, 4, string.format(LANGUAGE.need_admin, CTeam.name))
return ""
end
[/lua]
Would this even work?

How do you find a hammer entity by it's name through Lua?

[Pandaman09]

@Mattjeanes what do you mean by hammer enity?

Question for myself:
Is there a way to see if a player has mounted games?

For example I want to make a turret that uses Portal; however, if they do not have it, use a cardboard box

[QUOTE=MattJeanes;39291611]How do you find a hammer entity by it's name through Lua?[/QUOTE]

It depends.

Hammer entities such as "info_node" and "func_ladder" are built into the map upon VBSP compiling.

You can't find them through LUA because they technically don't exist.

You could find that kinda stuff with a module perhaps.
