Gday all,

What is an object's angular velocity measured in? Degrees per tick? second? minute?

[lua]print(self:GetLocalAngularVelocity())[/lua]

Imo its returns an angle (pitch, yaw, roll) and the values are its speed on each axes.

Correct but what is the unit of measurement that angular velocity is measured in? I've got an object that has a yaw angular momentum of 20 but 20 per what?

To be used to calculate how long an object will take to stop spinning if a constant amount of reverse angular velocity is applied.

Need some help. My NPC shop is not spawning like it should, the vector pos is set but yet no spawning. Any ideas?

Quick question, is HTML embedding disabled? I'm trying to embed a media player to play a stream and it says "Missing plugin".

Lua questions that don't deserve their own thread go here.
This means things like:
How to add jobs in DarkRP,
Where to find PERP,
How to shoot ponies out of a gun.
and if your IQ is above 30, then things like why vehicles aren't working on Linux servers.

OP is banned so there's no fixing it, unless someone contacts a mod to change it.

You need to define the variables before you use them:

surface.SetFont("HUDMainTwo")
local Width, Height = surface.GetTextSize(LocalPlayer().DarkRPVars.job)

draw.RoundedBox(6, midx - 64, hudypos2, Width / 2, hudheight / 2, Color( 50, 50, 50, 120 ))

I realy can't get this shit working.

[lua]
render.SetScissorRect( 29, ScrH() - 76, 1, ScrH() - 27, true )
surface.DrawTexturedRectRotated(30, ScrH() - 76, 80, 80,0)
surface.DrawTexturedRectRotated(75, ScrH() - 74, 80, 80,180)
render.SetScissorRect( 29, ScrH() - 76, 1, ScrH() - 27, false)
[/lua]

[img]http://puu.sh/26aTt[/img]

I realy don't understand how the SetScissorRect works. When I set it on, it just removes the two textured boxes.

[monttumopo]

I need some help with my code. Simply it doesnt work.

I have an entity in the map im playing its name is "es1" with the obsolete pic

Shared:

team.SetUp( 1, test, Color (0, 0, 255, 255))

team.SetSpawnPoint( test, "es1" )

Init:

AddCSLuaFile( "shared.lua" )
AddCSLuaFile( "cl_init.lua" )
 
include( 'shared.lua' )
 


function spawn1( pl )
    pl:SetTeam( 1 )
    pl:Spawn()
end
    

add.concommand( spawn1, "spawn1" )

Ben's photoshop skills come to the rescue once again!
Well i never used this but it seems quite simple. Let me explain it to you with the power of photoshop!

Lets say we got a health bar(this represents only the health bar, so the bar on left only):
[IMG]http://puu.sh/26c2f[/IMG]
- Yellow square is the ScrissorRect
- Red thingy is the health which is currently cut out by ScissorRect
- Gray thingy is the background of the health bar which is going to be filling up

Now if you just rotate the Red bar, it should appear to be filling up the gray bar:
[IMG]http://puu.sh/26c7s[/IMG]

Again, i never used this, this might be wrong.

Use x+width and y+heigth in ScissorRect and it will clip stuff outside of that rect

render.SetScissorRect( x,y,x+width,y+heigth, true/false )

Quick Question,
Does anyone have a simple snippet/line of code that would work to change a viewmodel's material?
I'm planning on making a dynamic camo system for weapons, and have been wondering this for a while.

Sorry for not having any code to post, wanna get everything down before I actually start coding it.

Thanks in advance for any help received!

Alright, but I get this error only when joining the server:

3. DrawHUD - gamemodes/darkrp/gamemode/client/hud.lua:382
4. unknown - gamemodes/darkrp/gamemode/client/hud.lua:477

I am pretty sure it is because while joining the player has no job. So it cannot find the text size.

It never occurs again. I only get see it after I joined.

TextureRectRotated draws material from center at specified coordinates to make rotating stuff easier. If you want to make circle shaped bars - actual texture should be like this (aka square):

[t]http://bbq.to/c3acc2479763d51308d5bdb0e8991acc_e0d0.png[/t]

So you can draw both background and bars at same coordinates without unnessesary adjusting.

for some reason, you can see other people in the gamemode, but you cant see your own model:

Just don't recreate it? Put something like

if (!MyPanel:IsValid()) then MyPanel = ... end
