What do you need help with? V3

Thanks Donkie. Next issue.

The Touch function does not output anything, no matter what i touch on my prop.

[lua] local Tank = ents.Create("prop_physics")
Tank:SetPos(Vector(-3000,654,100))
Tank:SetAngles(Angle(0,90,0))
Tank:SetModel("models/props_wasteland/laundry_washer003.mdl")
Tank:Spawn()
Tank:SetSolid(SOLID_VPHYSICS)
Tank:GetPhysicsObject():EnableMotion(false)
Tank:SetNWBool("IsGasTank", true)
Tank.Touch = function(gas)
print("Here we are")
if ent:GetModel() == "models/props_junk/PropaneCanister001a.mdl" then
print("Here")
AddTankFill(gas)
end
end[/lua]

You can't do like that, Touch only exists on custom SENTs (you could do some magic with ShouldCollide but thats unneccesary). You'd be better off using a custom sent instead!

Where should I start if I want to check if a player is touching a specific entity class?

Basically I added an entity in my map that covers an entire area and then I'd like to be able to give players weapons on the first time they're within it then once they leave it then remove them again.

Litterally don't know where to start with this one.

I don't really think you'd need to use an entity for that. You could just see if their position was within a certain y and x vector position of the map.

[moonk0821]

hook.Add("PlayerDeath", "PS_PlayerDeath", function(victim, inflictor, attacker)
 if attacker:IsPlayer() and attacker:IsValid() and not victim != attacker then
 attacker:PS_GivePoints(10, "killed " .. victim:Nick())
 end
 end)

it's Not work...
What need ?
What's wrong?

Hello. I really need help on something real quick. If someone can help me with this , i'll be grateful.
There is this swep , fists , and i want to make that , on a random value , it will ragdoll the player it hitted for a random time (preferably 2-3) if only someone could PM or post there the LUA or teach me how to do it , man i would be happy o-<l:3 <3

But which hook would I use. I'd use think but I don't want to continually give the players weapons/ammo.

[lua]local PlayersInBox = ents.FindInBox( Vector(9163.880859, -4275.777344, 4827.812012), Vector(16288.849609 -8663.266602 4747.246582) )
for k,v in pairs (PlayersInBox)
do
if v:IsPlayer()
then
v:give("weapon_crowbar")
end
end
[/lua]

that's all I have.

Maybe set a networked int on them once you give it to them, and remove it when you take it away? So only give them a weapon if they don't have the NW int.

How can I change the color of the "16000" in the DNumSlider?

[luavirusfree]

[QUOTE=Donkie;39329272]

[editline]23rd January 2013[/editline]

Looked through the sourcecode for creating the ball. Looks like there needs to be a bind to "CPropCombineBall.SetRadius", which doesn't exist in garrysmod. However, it looks like the physics model is made using a simple sphere [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Classes/Entity/PhysicsInitSphere[/url]. If you do that, then use [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Classes/Entity/SetModelScale[/url] to scale it, you can probably get something accurate.
However, things like explosion effects and such will not get changed, so it won't be perfect.[/QUOTE]

No. 1: They don't even bounce! 2: That doesn't scale them. I'm using the real source entity, by the way.

[vinylrain]

How can I scan through an array to find data and then do something with that? For example:
[LUA]
if ply:Name() --[is inside]-- == list_of_names[] --[this array]-- then
--Do something
end[/LUA]

Anyone know any good entity tutorial? (Specifically vehicles)

[M0dSe7en]

Anyone have working code for a bare-bones SNPC? I have to make a simple one for my gamemode that's able to toggle following you on use.

[Ozhar]

function GM:OnRoundResult( result, resulttext )
    for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do

Urgh. Make a file in lua/autorun/server called deathrun_points.lua with this in it:

[lua]
hook.Add('OnRoundResult', 'DeathRun_PointShop', function(result, resulttext)
for k, ply in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
if not ply:Alive() then continue end

if ply:Team() == TEAM_DEATH then
ply:PS_GivePoints(10)

ply:PS_GivePoints(20)

Even though you really don't deserve this help after [URL="http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1228438&p=39333470&viewfull=1#post39333470"]this[/URL], using Player.PS_GivePoints will not notify the player that they received them, do that yourself using ChatPrint or something.

Shouldn't that be lua_openscript, not lua_run?

Oh, and also, how do I make a combine ball that is owned by the player, and actually bounces???

[NintendoEKS]

In regards to a question previously answered, I am now receiving the following error;

attempt to index global 'surface' <a nil value>

It's in cl_init.lua, outside of all functions. Why is it returnign such an error?

[lua]surface.CreateFont( "cam_door_test_font", { font = "Arial", size = 105, weight = 800, antialias = true})
[/lua]

[Kogitsune]

It means you are including it in a file that is being included on the server.

[NintendoEKS]

I thought cl_init.lua would be the practical place to put it, where should I instead?

[Kogitsune]

No, I mean to make sure you don't have a serverside file with:

include( "cl_init.lua" )

[NintendoEKS]

Ahhh, cheers Kogitsune.

What do you mean by smartsnap? Do you mean the thing that makes grid lines appear on props/entities? If so that's an addon, it doesn't ship with GMod.
