I can't make my entity transparent after using it, I've set the rendermode to TRANS_ALPHA and I am doing self:SetColor(Color(255,255,255,255-Clr.a)) where Clr.a starts with 255 on init and is being reduced by 25 each usage

Can't you add Lua to the menu without sv_allowcslua? How does one do this? I'm trying to generate a list of our servers without mods on them.

How would i go about seperating a string of numbers into a Accounting format.

Such as 10034 to 10,034
Or 1000000 to 1,000,000

Look at how DarkRP does it. It's in client/hud.lua.

That's the less-efficient version.

[lua]num = num || { }

function num.Format( str )
str = tostring( str );
local _,_,str,dec = str:find("^(-?%d+)(%.*%d*)$")
return str:reverse():gsub("(...)", "%1,"):gsub(",$", ""):reverse()..dec
end[/lua]

Thank you very much.

[QUOTE=Drakehawke;39400857]That's what GetMesh returns? [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Classes/PhysObj/GetMesh[/url][/QUOTE]

No, it only returns the physics collision vertexes (via PhysicsObject). I'd want the mesh itself and its vertexes. Test it like I tested, I got back that result.

EDIT:

GetMesh doesn't even return a table with UV quads like the WIKI suggests. It's not entirely accurate.

[Science]

One more question.
Lets say i had this table.

Table = {}
Table["Lol"] = true
Table["Test"] = false

How would i get the indexing value? Eg. Lol or Test

[lorde banana]

in what situation?

Pretty sure there's no way of doing that, what are you doing that would require more than its collision mesh anyway?

is this right? I added "player" and "Player:GetRoleString()", this script should tell who killed you, and if he was traitor or innocent.

[Science]

Change Player for kill.

Then it will work.

i know i probably did something wrong but how do you make a client run the retry command or the connect ip command if they or the server lag for 10 to 20 seconds i have not thought of anything that works unless i did something wrong in the code below

if ( CLIENT ) then
print("||retry system loaded!||")
	function didwecrash() -- client  auto ran crash checker
		
		if (not timer.IsTimer("didwecrash")) then
			wedidcrashdamit = true
			timer.Create("didwecrash", 20, 1,function()
				if (not wedidcrashdamit == nil) and wedidcrashdamit then
					print("we should be rejoing now")
					RunConsoleCommand("connect 50.31.65.166:27015")
				end


			end)
			timer.start("didwecrash")
		end
	
	if (not wedidcrashdamit) then
			timer.stop( "didwecrash" )
			timer.Destroy( "didwecrash" )
			timer.Create("didwecrash",20,1,function() -- creates a timer that restarts if tr
				print("we should be rejoing now")
				RunConsoleCommand("connect 50.31.65.166:27015")
			end)
			timer.start("didwecrash")
		end
	end
	hook.Add("Think",didwecrash,wecrashed)

	local function RecvMyUmsg( data )
		wedidcrashdamit = data:ReadBool()

	end
	usermessage.Hook( "didwecrash", RecvMyUmsg );
end





if ( SERVER ) then
	function sdidwecrash()
		if (not timer.IsTimer("sendcrashinfop")) then
			timer.simple("sendcrashinfop", 10, 0,function()
			



				umsg.Start( "didwecrash" )
					umsg.Bool( false )
				umsg.End()
			end)
		end
		timer.start("sendcrashinfop")
	end
end
hook.Add("Think",sdidwecrash,swecrashed)

[QUOTE=hellguy;39406676]Ok, going to test it like this[/QUOTE] you should not do this because this can help people ghost in ttt dont tell them who killed them just that they were not rdmed

If someone kills you, you will probably suppose he's a traitor, so a "ghoster" would ghost anyway, what really matters for my server administration is to help me and players know who rdmd right away to take action as fast as we can.

How do I add more outputs to an existing trigger_multiple without rewriting the entire thing or editing the map file itself.

For example, this trigger, on start touch, already makes a door open and a sound play, but I want it to also run a function.

[Bubbus]

Hey guys, I've got a problem with tools and singleplayer.

Here's my tool's left click function;
[lua]function TOOL:LeftClick( trace )

Msg(CLIENT, SERVER, "\n")

if (CLIENT) then

Msg("hello")

self:TransmitSelection()
return true

end

self.LastClick = trace

end[/lua]

The tool doesn't work. In the console, I only see "falsetrue" printed in server text. Why doesn't this function run on the client when I'm running singleplayer?

Also an unanswered question from earlier just in case it was missed, how do I find the holder of a weapon? self.Owner proves unreliable if another person spawned the weapon. Thanks!

Try simply doing:

init.lua:
AddCSLuaFile("includes/modules/glon.lua")
include("includes/modules/glon.lua")

And cl_init.lua:
include("includes/modules/glon.lua")

Depends if server, client or both.

[QUOTE=TheNerdPest14;39412617]I mean vars set using Ent:SetVar() and Ent:SetNWVar(), and I need a way to get the Vars not set by code like from another addon.[/QUOTE]

Two ways you can do it, first one is using the BuildNetworkedVarsTable() like so:

[lua]] lua_run PrintTable(BuildNetworkedVarsTable( ))
> PrintTable(BuildNetworkedVarsTable( ))...
0:
ttt_haste_end = -1
ttt_voice_drain = false
ttt_voice_drain_admin = 0.050000000745058
ServerName = Garry's Mod
ttt_detective = true
ttt_time_limit_minutes = 75
ttt_rounds_left = 6
ttt_round_end = -1
ttt_locational_voice = false
ttt_haste = true
ttt_voice_drain_normal = 0.20000000298023
ttt_voice_drain_recharge = 0.050000000745058
ttt_karma = true
ttt_highlight_admins = true
ttt_idle_limit = 180
Player [1][Handsome Matt]:
disguised = false
UserGroup = superadmin
body_found = false
karma = 1000
[/lua]

Or the second method involves overwriting SetNWVar before it is used by anything and then keeping track of each variable yourself:

[lua]
local ENTITY = FindMetaTable("Entity")

ENTITY.NWStringVars = {}
local oldNWString = ENTITY.SetNWString
ENTITY.SetNWString = function(self, key, value)
self.NWStringVars[key] = value
oldNWString(self, key, value)
end

-- do this for each function etc..
[/lua]

Make sure the module has been AddCSLuaFiled in the serverside code somewhere, GMod will only mount Lua files that have been AddCSLuaFiled.

I assumed if you can get the vertexes of the mesh, you could get a uv positions of those vertexes. This would be for a in game material editor.

I might as well decompile and table the useful data. But I was hoping I could avoid it.
