What do you mean by group?

Like, all the male_x models?

or folders?[/QUOTE]

Something that gives me for example "Male_01" or Female_03, just that pice of info.

Like if I have this model: model/humans/group3/male_05.mdl, I would like a function or something, that tells me what model I have, that being male_05, and only male_0X, not the other crap.

Like I have a function, that set a model like this, model/humans/..group.id../*Here I need the model name* so I can change to diffrent groups, and get the correct model I already have, like if I have male 7 with citizen clothing, and I like to change it to group3m I'd like to have the medical resistance model, with the same face.

[QUOTE=Kuro Light;39531495]How do you make ULX ban someone via an addon.

I've tried

RunConsoleCommand("ulx ban", Sam, 5)
RunConsoleCommand("ulx ban", "Sam", "5")

RunConsoleCommand("ulx ban", ply:GetName(), "5")
RunConsoleCommand("ulx ban", v:Nick(), "5")

Can someone help me out here?

It's RunConsoleCommand("ulx","ban")[/QUOTE]

Progress! The addon is now able to load.

Still, by using this:
RunConsoleCommand("ulx","ban","ply:GetName()","bantime")

I can't get it to ban an player.
My console returns this:
Command "ulx ban", argument #1: No target found or target has imunity.

Hm, i guess i can't use ply:GetName() to find the player.
It's serverside lua.

Is there an accurate way to get the exact opposite of a color (excluding alpha)?

I know there is but I can't write math functions. Can anyone help me out?

You don't put the string tags around it..
it's
[lua]
RunConsoleCommand("ulx","ban",ply:GetName(),tonumber(args[2]) or 0)
[/lua]
args[2] being the 2nd string entered in chat or etc. (Assuming the first one is used to find the ply)

	timer.Simple( 1.36, function() hook.Remove("HUDPaint", "ProduceSupportFunc" ) end )

but it works fine in multiplayer.

i think

if ( CLIENT ) then

I'm having trouble getting an npc health bar addon working. It worked fine before Gmod 13 but like most addons it no longer works. I read that changing the "info.txt" file to "addon.txt" apparently fixes it. But now when I load up a single player game, it returns to the main menu, apparently from lua errors. When I load up the console it says this:

No, it just doesnt spawn a zombie at all. If I remove the:

if v:GetClass() == "npc_zombie" then

zombie:SetPos(Vector(-4155, -809, 130))
zombie:SetAngles(Angle(0, 0, 0))
zombie:Spawn()
end

And add the position to the root function, the zombies spawn inside each other unless someone is near. I'd like for the zombies to only spawn if the previous one is dead.
