What do you need help with? V3

[Gaming_Unlim]

Anyone know what it is I am doing wrong for this? I even printed out all the entities and could not find it after I did this.
[lua]
hook.Add("InitPostEntity","Lights",function()
local pos = Vector(2508.289795, 690.628967, -377.235657)
local angle = Angle(0,0,0)
local ent = ents.Create("light")
ent:SetPos(pos)
ent:SetAngles(angle)
ent:Spawn()
end)
[/lua]
Any help is appreciated!

Is there a surface.GetTextureID for .pngs? I noticed surface.GetTextureID only works for vmt/vtf

[legodude]

Trying to run a console command by pressing a derma button, works only after editing the cl_init while the gamemode is running... Any idea why this might be?

[LUA]for _, v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
print (v..)
end[/LUA]
It's supposed to print every players name. But when I run it it says "Unexpected symbol near .."
Im sorry if this is stupid but I am new to lua and learning. Thanks :v:

[.\\Shadow}]

There's no reason to put the .. there, just do print(v)

[legodude]

[QUOTE]It's supposed to print every players name. But when I run it it says "Unexpected symbol near .." [/QUOTE]

no need for the .. after the v in your print statement, It's looking for a second string and not finding one...
Replace the'v..' with 'v:Nick()' and should function fine

[QUOTE=.\\Shadow};39683793]There's no reason to put the .. there, just do print(v)[/QUOTE]

Thanks it works!
How would I do it with text and variables?

Hey I have a problem with my npc, in init.lua:
[lua]
function ENT:AcceptInput( name, activator)
if ( name == "Use" && IsValid( activator ) && activator:IsPlayer( ) ) then
local path = "cars/vandura/" .. activator:UniqueID() .. ".txt"
if file.Exists(path, "data") then
umsg.Start( "SavedCars", activator)
umsg.End()
else
activator:ChatPrint("You don't own any cars.")
end
end
end
[/lua]
and this all works and everything, but when its supposed to say the chatprint, it displays it in the players console not their chatbox. Any ideas?
Btw this is darkrp.

Are you using a custom chatbox?

[lua]
surface.SetDrawColor(255,255,255,255)
surface.SetMaterial( Material( "gui/blue/main.png" ) )
surface.DrawTexturedRect( ,sleft - 1,hudypos,260,50)
[/lua]

My material won't work. It doesn't even say I am missing the file. I am pretty sure I am downloading it.

[lua]
if (SERVER) then
AddCSLuaFile("silkicons.lua")
resource.AddFile( "materials/gui/silkicons/money.vmt" )

You could try this:

function ENT:AcceptInput( name, activator)
    if ( name == "Use" && IsValid( activator ) && activator:IsPlayer( ) ) then
      local path = "cars/vandura/" .. activator:UniqueID() .. ".txt"
      if file.Exists(path, "data") then
        umsg.Start( "SavedCars", activator)
        umsg.End()
      else
    activator:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK, "You don't own any cars.")
      end
    end
end

Still doesnt work.

I have this code which I got a Lua Coder to confirm is right, I just need to know how to implement it onto my server, I have ULX and ULib installed.
Does it go into One of these or does it go into a Lua File and into the Auto-Run Server Side Folder?

Thank You,
~Maddog.

Hello, I have a quick question.

How do I download things from the workshop, and actually get the files onto my computer, so I can edit them, for practice?

Goto: C:\Program Files <(x86)>\Steam\steamapps\<steamidthingy>\garrysmod\garrysmod\addons and you'll find all the gma's (File-format for Garrysmod-stuff downloaded from workshop).
Open those in notepad++ or any text editing-software and you'll see the lua behind them. Just keep in mind that the first few lines aren't pure lua.

Debug'z/optimize the code. Lots and lots of optimize.
The code will force a xml fetch from steam each time someone joins the server. It will basic lag.

[u]Now this isn't the most optimized .. but I don't feel like writing 50-100 lines:[/u]
[lua]Data = ""
http.Fetch("http://steamcommunity.com/gid/<GroupID>/memberslistxml/?xml=1", function(result, size, headers,httpcode) --Alternatively, use "http://steamcommunity.com/groups/<GroupName>/memberslistxml/?xml=1"
if size > 0 and httpcode!=200 then //Steam seems to return http 200 each time
Data = result
print("Fetched data from steam.")
else
print("Error. Wasn't able to fetch the data from steam. HTTP: "..httpcode)
if httpcode==203 then print("Steam have blocked this information.\nYou can try get a steamspi key to fix it, this script dosen't work anymore.") end
if httpcode==403 then print("Steam have forbitten this xml.\nYou can try get a steamapi key to fix it, this script don't work anymore.") end
if httpcode==418 then print("I'm a Teapot!\nLol .. steam is playing funny today.") end

Hello, I'm trying to make my own drive class, I created the file in garrysmod/lua/drive/drive_test.lua but whenever I call

drive.PlayerStartDriving( player, ent, "drive_test" );

I get this error:

Unknown drive type drive_test

Is there anything else I need to do to make my own drive class?

[editline]23rd February 2013[/editline]

I basically copy/pasted drive_sandbox.lua in the file and modified this line

drive.Register( "drive_sandbox", 
{

to change the name by drive_test

This will work fine

[lua]hook.Add("PlayerAuthed", "checkgroup", function(ply)
if ply:IsUserGroup("vip") then return end // If we're a vip already don't execute it again
local id = ply:SteamID64()
local MaxPage = 10
local Group = "GroupHere"
for pagenum = 1,MaxPage do // Loop through the pages in case there are 1 or more pages
http.Fetch("https://steamcommunity.com/groups/"..Group.."/memberslistxml/?xml=1&p="..pagenum, function(result, size)
if size > 0 then
for w in string.gmatch(result, "<steamID64>(%d+)</steamID64>") do
if w == id then
ULib.ucl.addUser( ply:SteamID(), {}, {}, "vip" )
end
end
end
end)
end
end)
[/lua]

I've already tested it and it works goes in lua/autorun/server
[lua]
local Group = "GroupHere" // Change GroupHere to your group name
local MaxPage = 10 // You can see the max page number in the group
[/lua]

<nextPageLink>
<![CDATA[
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/GroupHere/memberslistxml/?xml=1&p=2
]]>
</nextPageLink>

That's how you find how many pages you have in your group

[Kamshak]

does anyone know of a lua OO script that will allow me to have classes and inheritance?
i found [url]http://lua-users.org/wiki/ClassesAndMethodsExample[/url]
but it is unclear to me how i would go about overwriting super class methods.
what i need is class methods, that i can overwrite but still access the superclass method.
