[QUOTE=Xervion;37293897]I tried that, and here is what I get when I try to run it with "lua_run_cl":
[CODE] lua_run_cl lua/hud.lua
[LuaCmd:1] '=' expected near '/'
[/CODE]
And when I just try to run it with lua_run, it gives me nothing, along with making it autorun.[/QUOTE]
Use lua_openscript_cl to open files, and not lua_run_cl.
I can't include files in another folder for some reason. This is what I try to do on the client: [I]include( "items/test.lua" )[/I]. This is the error I get: [I]Couldn't include file 'items\test.lua' (File not found)[/I].
Any ideas? I can include files in the same folder just fine. And the folder & file exist.

I'm having the same issues. I've also noticed that I can include across folders, serverside.
How the hell do you get gestures to work for models?
[code]
Ent:SetPlaybackRate(1)
Ent:RestartGesture(0)
Ent:SetCycle(0)
[/code]
Tried combinations of LookupSequence and such, nothing ever happens.

Whats the name of the sequence your trying to use?

Could you also provide a bit more code.

I was working on an e2 with an extension for Lua, and I was running that code on a hologram.

local Ent = Entity("+holoEntity(1):id()+")

Quick problem, i use the wiki-approved way of finding the current ammo of another player but it just lists the max amount the weapon can contain (e.g. 256 for smg).
Where target is a player.
ammo = target:GetAmmoCount(target:GetActiveWeapon():GetPrimaryAmmoType( ))
Thanks for your help :)
[QUOTE=smallfry;37294247]Is there an easy way to show a visible line ingame to debug traces? [url=http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/index332a.html]render.DrawBeam[/url] seems like the way to go, but I can't get it to show anything (working within the primary attack function of a SWEP).[/QUOTE]
Depends why you want to draw the line. If you want it for debugging, look up the debugoverlay library.
If you actually want a nice looking line (not 1px wide) for a weapon firing effect, your best bet is to make a scripted effect. They're fairly simple, have a look through existing effects if the tutorials on the wiki don't help.
[QUOTE=Lexic;37290041]When in doubt, put a print statement. Try shoving print(x, y) before the line which errors and see what it outputs.[/QUOTE]
Well it prints nil nil, but the thing is, this never used to happen in GM12. Any ideas whats causing this to happen?

Garry might've broken the function when he fiddled with the fonts.
You are setting up your font with the new method right? If you are, post a bug report in the GM13 forum. If you're not, go read the changelog to see how the new system works.

Fonts set up with the new table system. Gonna post a bug report now, thank you!
Hey guys, how can I validate a model path on the client without using ClientsideModel? Spawning an entity for the sake of a single test is not an optimal approach :v:
Right now I've got this set up;
[lua]local model = ClientsideEntity(path, RENDERGROUP_OPAQUE)
if !model then return "models/error.mdl" end
return path[/lua]
It's a bit inefficient :D

Would anyone know what fonts like HUDNumber and Trebuchet were renamed to? Perhaps a list of the new fonts?

They were all removed in 13, you have to recreate them yourself.
No-one really seems to know what their exact settings/parameters were either.
util.IsValidModel seems to be unreliable?
[code]
"hello!" returns false
"models/holograms/hq_icosphere.mdl" returns true
"models/props_combine/breenbust.mdl" returns false
"models/Combine_Scanner.mdl" returns false
"models/error.mdl" returns true
[/code]
All the model paths are valid and work with ClientsideModel.
Clientside in GM12 btw.

Is there a function to set a players active weapon? I know there is "GetActiveWeapon()" but is there a way to to set it instead of getting it. Any help is appreciated in advance.
Pseudo Code Of What I Mean...

ply:Give("weapon_pistol")
ply:SetActiveWeapon("weapon_pistol")

As Drakehawk said, it's in the GCF. Use [url=http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php?p=26]GCFScape[/url] then open SteamApps/garrysmod content.gcf.
