What do you need help with? V3

[Stillnex]

[QUOTE=ajminifigure;36977615]Thanks. but one question. Is that serverside, client side, or shared? and can you give me an example of 1 team 2 classes? thanks.[/QUOTE]
That's serverside, as OnRoundStart is a serverside only hook.

1 team 2 classes example? ok

know at your shared.lua, you should probably have something like:

[lua]
team.SetUp( TEAM_PLAYER, "Players", Color( 255, 255, 255 ), true )
team.SetSpawnPoint( TEAM_PLAYER, { "info_player_start", "info_player_terrorist", "info_player_rebel", "info_player_deathmatch" } )
team.SetClass( TEAM_PLAYER, { "Player" } )
[/lua]

You need to make another class, and add a new line at the shared.lua like

[lua]
team.SetClass( TEAM_PLAYER, { "Boss" } )
[/lua]

and set the player to the boss class on the round start using the code I gave on the last post.

the boss class would be like:

[lua]
local CLASS = {}

CLASS.DisplayName = "Boss"
CLASS.WalkSpeed = 400
CLASS.CrouchedWalkSpeed = 0.2
CLASS.RunSpeed = 600
CLASS.DuckSpeed = 0.2
CLASS.JumpPower = 200
CLASS.PlayerModel = "models/player/breen.mdl"
CLASS.DrawTeamRing = true
CLASS.DrawViewModel = true
CLASS.CanUseFlashlight = true
CLASS.MaxHealth = 10000
CLASS.StartHealth = 10000
CLASS.StartArmor = 0
CLASS.RespawnTime = 0
CLASS.DropWeaponOnDie = false
CLASS.TeammateNoCollide = false
CLASS.AvoidPlayers = false
CLASS.Selectable = false
CLASS.FullRotation = false

function CLASS:Loadout( pl )

pl:Give( "weapon_crowbar" )

end

player_class.Register( "Boss", CLASS )
[/lua]

and your "player" class would be something like:

[lua]
local CLASS = {}

CLASS.DisplayName = "Player"
CLASS.WalkSpeed = 400
CLASS.CrouchedWalkSpeed = 0.2
CLASS.RunSpeed = 600
CLASS.DuckSpeed = 0.2
CLASS.JumpPower = 200
CLASS.PlayerModel = "models/player/breen.mdl"
CLASS.DrawTeamRing = true
CLASS.DrawViewModel = true
CLASS.CanUseFlashlight = true
CLASS.MaxHealth = 100
CLASS.StartHealth = 100
CLASS.StartArmor = 0
CLASS.RespawnTime = 0
CLASS.DropWeaponOnDie = false
CLASS.TeammateNoCollide = false
CLASS.AvoidPlayers = false
CLASS.Selectable = false
CLASS.FullRotation = false

function CLASS:Loadout( pl )

pl:Give( "weapon_smg1" )

end

player_class.Register( "Player", CLASS )
[/lua]

[ajminifigure]

OK. one final question, where do I put the class files?

[editline]28th July 2012[/editline]

"and set the player to the boss class on the round start using the code I gave on the last post."
In the code on the last post, it says "SetTeam(2)" how would I change it for classes?

how can i make it so prop gibs are spawned only on the client? or disable prop_physics gibbing altogether?

when i break a prop_physics it spawns more prop_physics nearby that only seem to fade once the client has interacted with them. it's messing up a prop detection script i have and plus gibs can pile up and mess with performance so i'd rather disable them altogether.

How do people blur the background behind a transparent derma such as what I have here:

[lua]
//Create a local variable to store our Derma
local mainWindow

//Add the concommand to open the Derma
concommand.Add('+mainwindow', function()
//Making the DFrame
mainWindow = vgui.Create( 'DFrame' )
mainWindow:SetPos( ScrW() / 2 - 250, ScrH() / 2 - 250 )
mainWindow:SetSize( 500, 500 )
mainWindow:SetDraggable( false )
mainWindow:SetVisible( true )
mainWindow:SetTitle( 'mainWindow' )
mainWindow:ShowCloseButton( false )
mainWindow:MakePopup()
mainWindow.Paint = function()
surface.SetDrawColor( 0, 0, 0, 150 )
surface.DrawRect( 0, 0, mainWindow:GetWide(), mainWindow:GetTall() )

surface.SetDrawColor( 0 ,0, 0, 255 )
surface.DrawOutlinedRect( 0, 0, mainWindow:GetWide(), mainWindow:GetTall() )

surface.SetDrawColor( 0, 0, 0, 255 )
surface.DrawRect( 1, 1, mainWindow:GetWide() - 2, 22 )
end
end)

//Add concommand to close the Derma
concommand.Add('-mainwindow', function()
mainWindow:Remove()
end)
[/lua]

Also what would be a good way to draw big text onto a derma? End aim is to make a ping/fps meter. Im still learning

If I can remember correctly you can't blur backgrounds on a painted panel?

[lua]local matBlurScreen = Material( "pp/blurscreen" )

blurAmnt = blurAmnt or 5
surface.SetMaterial( matBlurScreen )

local x, y = self:LocalToScreen( 0, 0 )

for i=0.33, 1, 0.33 do

You probs need to mess with the EntityTakeDamage hook and [b][url=http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/index6d8e.html]Entity.GibBreakClient [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img][/url][/b].

What do I go about doing for sending a large usermessage? I'm using glon.encode and tables can get pretty large.

[TheTrueAndy]

-snip- Wiki was wrong and outdated. :<

[QUOTE=jrj996;36987232]What do I go about doing for sending a large usermessage? I'm using glon.encode and tables can get pretty large.[/QUOTE]

In gmod 12 use datastream. In gmod 13 use the net library.

[Drakehawke]

Also consider whether you really really need to send so much data to the client.

[MICKMAC]

On an old clan server of mine, they added a sign into the map (not via sourceSDK because there was no map change, must have been lua).
This sign allowed VIPs to pass through it but didn't allow guests.

Can anybody help me to determine how to check this? I know plycheckgroup etc. but I'm wondering how they made a physical sign that allowed no collision depending on a players UserGroup in lua?
If this is too difficult, on SourceSDK how can I make a trigger_teleport check for the usergroup in ULX? Is there any way?

Would anybody know how to do this? Or to help me with this?
Many thanks in advance!

[TOMASAS]

You can use ShouldCollide([URL="http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/index8483.html"]http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/index8483.html[/URL]) hook to check if one entity is the player and if the other entity is that sign, you then check if the player in the correct group and return false if he is so he can walk right through it.

[MICKMAC]

[QUOTE=TOMASAS;36990248]You can use ShouldCollide([URL="http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/index8483.html"]http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/index8483.html[/URL]) hook to check if one entity is the player and if the other entity is that sign, you then check if the player in the correct group and return false if he is so he can walk right through it.[/QUOTE]

So like

local function ShouldCollideTestHook( ent1, ent2 )
 
	if ( ent1:IsPlayer() and ent1:CheckGroup("vip") and ent2:IsPlayer() ) then
		return false
	end 
end
hook.Add( "ShouldCollide", "ShouldCollideTestHook", ShouldCollideTestHook )

I know for a fact that isn't fully correct, but can anyone fix that up a little? I can make the entity of the barrier myself

[SashaWolf]

I figure it might be more useful to ask here, as opposed to bumping the thread I made. It's a pretty simple issue.

[url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1201466[/url]

[TOMASAS]

local function ShouldCollideTestHook( ent1, ent2 )
 
	if ((ent1:IsPlayer() and ent1:CheckGroup("vip")) and ent2.SignWall) or (ent1.SignWall and (ent2:IsPlayer() and ent2:CheckGroup("vip"))) then
		return false
	end 
end
hook.Add( "ShouldCollide", "ShouldCollideTestHook", ShouldCollideTestHook )

This should work, assuming you set a variable called SignWall on the sign wall entity.

Alright, this has me stumped. Assume I'm trying to search a string for any occurrences of weapon names in the form of "weapon_*". Obviously, string.gmatch is my best option, but why does this code not work properly?

print( args[1] )
for k, v in string.gmatch( args[1], "^weapon_%a+" ) do
    print( v )
    ply:Give( v )
end

And yes, args[1] prints a valid entity name. Is there a problem with my pattern?

Also there's no key in string.gmatch's returns. it's just for match in string.gmatch(...) do

unless you've got multiple capture groups, in which case it's for match1,match2,match3 in string.gmatch(...) do

Tried replacing my code with

Errored when I tried triggering the entity in question, printed this in console

weapon_crowbar weapon_pistol

First time coding in LUA.

if LocalPlayer():KeyDown(IN_JUMP) then
	PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTCENTER, 'You jumped!')
end

I just want a message to be displayed when I push spacebar. Loaded this code through the gmod console with no errors, but when i push space, nothing happens.

You could message them with LocalPlayer():ChatPrint('You jumped!').

Add a Think hook aswell or a timer.

His code only runs once rather than when a hook is called.

I tried that, and still, nothing happened. Should I be in multiplayer for it to work? Here's the new code:

if LocalPlayer():KeyDown(IN_JUMP) then
	LocalPlayer():ChatPrint('You Jumped')
end

Am I missing something?

Show all of your code instead of the block of 3 lines.

Here's the full code

hook.Add("Think", "spacebar", jump)
