[QUOTE=Persious;37469040]So, I sent the data to the client. How would I match the SteamID's, and set the data afterwards?[/QUOTE]

Aha, I nearly got it right.

[Gastav3]

I have a problem with the derpinv i get this message everytime i try to open the inventory

addons\derprp inv\lua\autorun\client\cl_drpinv.lua:116

Here is the code.

local icon = vgui.Create("SpawnIcon", DPanel1)
-line 116- icon:SetModel(info.model)
icon:SetPos(5,5)
icon:SetMouseInputEnabled(false)

i added the the -line 116 so you guys could se whre it is.

Yeah, we'll need the full error.

Just checked it, it only adds the localplayer, no one else.

Are you using bots? I could never get that method to work with bots. If it works on yourself that's proof of concept, it'll work in a multiplayer setting though; I've used the method numerous times.

[Archemyde]

I'd like to ask if anyone knows how to set an entity to not accept decals.
Trying to create a kind of personal shield, Doesnt work well when you see bullet holes in the shield.

Nobody responded to mine? :(

Uh, I tried it on multiplayer with a player, I might need to re-check the code.

New noob question: I want my entity to be removed if the owner of it leaves the server. Here is what I've tried:

function RemoveDisconected( Player )
		if ( owner == Player ) then
			self:Remove()
		end
end
hook.Add("PlayerDisconnected","RemoveThisEntity",RemoveDisconected)

But this returns an error: "...\init.lua:92] attempt to index global 'self' <a nil value>". Q_Q

You've got an extra 'end' after Plugin:PlayerCanHearPlayersVoice.
You also really need to indent your code better. I have run it through an autoindenter and put it in the quote as an example. Perhaps you should try and editor such as [url=http://www.sublimetext.com/]Sublime Text[/url] which will automatically indent as you type?

Exist lua code for this?

I have an animation:

self.Weapon:SendWeaponAnim(ACT_VM_IDLE) 

And i need to play sound from 16. frame this animation (sequence) like

if AnimFrame (16) = then //Number of frame
self.Weapon:EmitSound("MySound.wav")  //Play sound
end 

And playing animation material

if AnimFrame (16) = then //Number of frame
render.SetMaterial( "self.num_one ?") //Goddammit i dont know what set here
end
local Yaytexture = Material( "textures/mytexture"  )
local num_one = Material( "textures/Modeldefaulttexture" )
num_one:SetMaterialTexture( "$basetexture", Yaytexture:GetMaterialTexture("$basetexture") ) //replace default texture with new texture
 

Is there exist some code for this???

Checking I understand this correctly.
You want to
- Play an animation on a weapon
- Wait 16 animation frames
- Play a sound
- Change the material on the weapon
Right?

Not that right
I want:
Play an animation
On 16. animation frame play sound and change material.
Thats all.

Why sending 2 strings and looping through all players? Use umsg.Entity instead.

Recently I realized, that with some scripted entites, if a player grabs them with the physgun and move it, the entity actually moves, but the physgun beam points to a completely different location.

Why is that happening, and how to fix it?

[editline]31st August 2012[/editline]

So far my investigation shows, it has something to do with client, and serverside physics meshes

[teras23]

I was wondering is it possible to make a button that changes a rcon convar value.
rcon sbox_noclip does not work because there should be no space there and I dont know how to put a space a different way.

[Commander11]

How could I attach an effect above a entities head.

[JustSoFaded]

[lua]
local pos = (ent:GetPos() + Vector(0, 0, 50));
local data = EffectData();
data:SetStart( pos );
data:SetOrigin( pos );
data:SetScale( 1 );

util.Effect("fx_name", data);
[/lua]

Thank you for this. I've tried to get it to work but again without success. :/

function RemoveDisconected( Player )
    for k,v in pairs(ents.GetAll()) do
	if (v:GetName() == "Entityname") then
	    print(v:GetOwner())
	    v:Remove()
	end
			
    end
end
hook.Add("PlayerDisconnected","RemoveThisEntity",RemoveDisconected)

However this works which I did for testing purpose. Interesting is the result for v:GetOwner() is "[NULL Entity]" instead of the owners name who left the server. Any more ideas? q_q

Edit: This is solved. I made a noobish workaround. ^^

Why are you using the SteamID? Use umsg.Entity with the actual player object?

[Hugabuga]

Hm, I could try that. I'm pretty new to usermessages, so I'm still learning.

Can someone give an example how to build a simple cube with meshes?

Grab the gmod12 implementation from here: [URL]http://glua.me/bin/?path=/lua/includes/extensions/mesh.lua[/URL]

There :

function UpdateScoreboardItems( pl )

for k, v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do

umsg.Start("SendUpdatedItems", pl)
umsg.Entity(v)
umsg.String(GModFloor.Classes[v.Class].Name)
umsg.Long(v:GetMoney())
umsg.End()

end

end
concommand.Add("gmodfloor_updatescoreboard", UpdateScoreboardItems)

-- CLIENT
function GetUpdatedItems(um)

local ply, Class, Money = um:ReadEntity(), um:ReadString(), um:ReadLong()

if ValidEntity(ply) then

ply.Class = Class
ply.Money = Money

end

end
usermessage.Hook("SendUpdatedItems", GetUpdatedItems)
[/lua]

[QUOTE=ollie;37483587]Hmm.. Can i actually make a cube with physics using that code? Like to spawn in-game without making a SENT?[/QUOTE]

No, definitely not. You need to create an entity. Take a look at the Entity:PhysicsFromMesh documentation, and SENT creation. Also you will find the IMesh:Draw() function very useful.

How can I center a DModelPanels view so the model is like, directly on the model, if the model is a player model?

[Nalestom]

I'm very new to Lua, just picked it up a few days ago.

I've got a init script I'm making, and I keep getting the following error:

Hook 'OnPlayerConnect' Failed: [@init.lua:31] bad key to string index (number expected, got string)

The script is below.

[lua]
function player_exists(name, address)
local steamID = name:SteamID()
local result = sql.Query("SELECT steam_id, money, rpname, experience, corporation FROM player_info WHERE steam_id = '"..steamID.."'")
if(result) then
sql_value_info(steamID, name)
sql_value_inventory(steamID, name)
else
new_player(steamID, name)
end
end

hook.Add("PlayerConnect", "OnPlayerConnect", player_exists)
[/lua]

Where did I go wrong?
