[QUOTE=fairy;39363081]You could put it init.lua in terrortown/gamemode/[/QUOTE]

You could, but then you'll have to re-add it every time you update.

An autorun folder would be more appropriate

[The-Spy]

So it should work by just making that it's own file and throwing it in say, lua/autorun/server/"killreveal.lua"?

I don't know that GetRoleString() will work outside of the main gamemode. But you can try it.

Is there any way of converting a string to lua?

So "print('Hi')"

Could be ran for example.

RunString("print('Hi');");

Something like that?

[QUOTE=Chocolate1234;39362794]This is kind of a silly thing. I was trying to spawn a dropship with a troop container. I know it doesnt actually drop anything off or do anything but a dropship looks kind of silly without the container when youre putting it in the background of a screenshot. Anyways I used this bit of console lua code to do it after finding it on the forum somewhere.

lua_run dropship = ents.Create("npc_combinedropship")
dropship:SetKeyValue("CrateType", 1)
dropship:Spawn()

The thing is on the map it seems to spawn in a predefined location and turns out on the map i was using it was inside a shed and i couldn't get it out (it was kind of funny, really, because it didn't fit very well and was clipping through the walls) -- and,on any map, if i try to move it away and then turn the AI on it just goes back to where it was before instead of staying put (I know, air nodes). I tried another map and i couldn't find it at all although I heard it.

Now Im pretty sure theres a way to make it spawn at where your cursor points, I think its !picker or something but I don't know how or where to put it in, as I don't lua or any code very well. So if someone could help me, thanks.[/QUOTE]

Well I actually managed to get it into the spawnlist by taking a look at the actual NPC spawnlist for the dropship and then doing some modifications and then making a new lua file with just the container dropship. I am surprised I didn't make it break, especially when you take into fact that [I]I managed to break "hello world."[/I]

[The-Spy]

Ah the code worked for the reveler, thanks guys for helping me out. I put it in the autorun/server folder and works good!

How can I see if a file exists on the server from the client?

[Matt-]

[QUOTE=J.R.;39364311]How can I see if a file exists on the server from the client?[/QUOTE]
Make a net hook on the server that runs file.Exists( net.ReadString() ) and then send the boolean back to the client.

How does the .png drawing actually work?

[lua]
local material = Material("mypng.png","unlitgeneric")

function drawPng()

surface.SetTexture(material)
surface.SetDrawColor(Color(255,255,255))
surface.DrawTexturedRect(0,0,50,50)

end
hook.Add("HUDPaint","MyPng",drawPng)
[/lua]

That doesn't work and nor does this:

[lua]
local material = surface.GetTextureID(Material("mypng.png","unlitgeneric"))

function drawPng()

surface.SetTexture(material)
surface.SetDrawColor(Color(255,255,255))
surface.DrawTexturedRect(0,0,50,50)

end
hook.Add("HUDPaint","MyPng",drawPng)
[/lua]

or this

[lua]
local material = surface.GetTextureID("mypng.png")

function drawPng()

surface.SetTexture(material)
surface.SetDrawColor(Color(255,255,255))
surface.DrawTexturedRect(0,0,50,50)

end
hook.Add("HUDPaint","MyPng",drawPng)
[/lua]

[QUOTE=thejjokerr;39366021]The first thing you tried but then with surface.SetMaterial rather than SetTexture.[/QUOTE]

Could someone explain to me how data works? To be more specific im using DarkRP where in showteamtabs.lua i have SetHTML( file.Read("stuff.txt") but when i launch it, it says SetHTML returns null(cause appearantly adding stuff.txt to servers data folder wont suffice). Any tips/hints/tutorials would be nice.

Hey guys, I'm working on an NPC and its my first time coding in GMod13 so I am not very use to it and I have no idea what I am doing wrong here but, here is the problem:

My NPC roams around the level just find. But right now, when I shoot him I want him to chase me. Although when I shoot him he either reacts to the shot by stopping his schedule, then continuing on his roam adventure or just ignores the shot all together. I have no idea what I am doing wrong.

Now usually before asking a question I search it on google.
I searched this question on google and it fucking pains me to ask. I mean REALLY pains me to ask...
But how the fuck do I fix custom spawns on DarkRP.
I honestly just want to play this with my friends and I cant because the spawns are fucked when ever the server resets :/
If someone who has experience with darkrp could help that would be great.

 local function RegenerateHealth()
     for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
         if v:Alive() and v:IsAdmin() then
             v:SetHealth(math.min(v:Health()+RegenerateAmount,math.max(100,RegenerateMax)))
         end
     end
     timer.Simple(RegenerateTime,RegenerateHealth)
 end
 RegenerateHealth()

and

local function UnlimitedAmmo()
    for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
    curwep = v:GetActiveWeapon()
        if (v:Alive()) then
            if v:GetAmmoCount(curwep:GetPrimaryAmmoType() < 100)then
                v:SetAmmo(100,curwep:GetPrimaryAmmoType())
            end
            if v:GetAmmoCount(curwep:GetSecondaryAmmoType() < 100)then
                v:SetAmmo(100,curwep:GetSecondaryAmmoType())

Both of these are perfectly compatible with Gmod 13, but the second script has a minor typo that messes it up.

This:

if v:GetAmmoCount(curwep:GetPrimaryAmmoType() < 100)then
    ...
if v:GetAmmoCount(curwep:GetSecondaryAmmoType() < 100)then

needs to be:

It gets the current ammo, it doesn't check if it's less that 100 of not.
For the pistol and smg, it flashes between 8200 and 256.

[RaptorJGW]

I couldn't figure this out
When the player presses 1 (Not Numberpad) something in the HUD is suppose
to change (The color of a box, so the player can see "I activated that; It reacts")
Since it has to do with the HUD I thought I will have to put it in cl_init.lua so I wrote this:

[QUOTE]
if( LocalPlayer( client ):KeyDown( KEY_1 ) ) then
draw.RoundedBox( 8, ScrW()*0.327, ScrH()*0.875, 50, 50, Color( 13, 176, 255, 200 ) )
else
draw.RoundedBox( 8, ScrW()*0.327, ScrH()*0.875, 50, 50, Color( 33, 63, 102, 250 ) )

end
[/QUOTE]

It worked, but it's only activated when I press 'SPACE', not 1. Afterwards I read in the [URL="http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/indexa077.html"]Lua Library[/URL], that ( KEY_* ) is only used with
input.IsKeyDown in init.lua (In other cases it would "Derp" like in my IF), but if I want to use KeyDown, I will have to use ( IN_* ) instead, but ( IN_* ) doesn't include
keys like A,B,C,D,1,2,3,4, Shift, Alt, etc., instead it uses Attack, Use, Reload, etc. (But I need to activate it with a key from 1-9)
I tried all sorts of things out, but nothing has worked yet :( Only Lua Errors occurred when I tried to find a solution

[B]TL;DR[/B]
By pressing a button on the players keyboard, the look of the HUD is suppose to change (e.g. color of a RoundedBox)
What function would I have to use?
