So I'm trying to give myself an imaginary STD

[lua]

function getSTD( ply, cmd, args )

local type = args[1]
ply:SetNWBool("std",1)

if type == 1 then
ply:ChatPrint("You've contracted Gonorrhea!")
timer.Create("gtimer",1,0, function()
if !ply:GetNWBool("std") then timer.Destroy("gtimer") return end
local grand=math.random(100)
if grand==1 then
ply:Ignite(5,1)
ply:ChatPrint("Your Gonorrhea is kicking in!")
end
end)
end

if type == 2 then
ply:ChatPrint("You've contracted Jumping Anus Syndrome!")
timer.Create("jatimer",1,0, function()
if !ply:GetNWBool("std") then timer.Destroy("jatimer") return end
local jarand=math.random(100)
end)
if jarand==1 then
ply:ChatPrint("Your Jumping Anus Syndrome is kicking in!")
for i = 1, 10 do
timer.Simple(i,ply:ConCommand("+jump"))
timer.Simple(i+0.25,ply:ConCommand("-jump"))
end
end

end

if type == 3 then
ply:ChatPrint("You've contracted Numblegs!")
ply:SetNWBool("hb",1)
ply:SetRunSpeed(ply:GetRunSpeed() / 2)
ply:SetWalkSpeed(ply:GetWalkSpeed() / 2)

end

if type == 4 then
ply:ChatPrint("You've contracted prolapsed anus!")
ply:SetMaxHealth(25)
ply:SetNWBool("pa",1)
if ply:Health() >> 50 then
timer.Create("bleed",1,0, function()
if ply:Health() <= 25 then return end
ply:SetHealth(ply:Health()-1)
end)
end
end

if !ply:Alive() or ply:GetNWBool("std") == 0 then
if ply:GetNWBool("hb") == 1 then
ply:SetRunSpeed(ply:GetRunSpeed()*2)
ply:SetWalkSpeed(ply:GetWalkSpeed()*2)
ply:SetNWBool("hb",0)
end
if ply:GetNWBool("pa") == 1 then
ply:SetMaxHealth(25)
timer.Destroy("bleed")
ply:SetNWBool("pa",0)
end
end
end

concommand.Add( "getSTD", getSTD )
[/lua]

Problem is that when I enter getSTD 1, nothing happens.
Any problems with this?

What do you mean? It looks like they're all different materials being swapped out depending on whats happening...

--At the top of the script
local mat = Material( "your/animated/material" )
local FRAMES = frames_in_your_material - 1 --Since they are frames 0 -> n-1
--In your hud
surface.SetMaterial( mat )

mat:SetMaterialInt( "$frame", math.Clamp( flValue * FRAMES, 0, FRAMES ) )
surface.DrawTexturedRect( x, y, w, h )

Be sure to set $vertexcolor and $vertexalpha to 1 in the vmt.

As long as you change $frame before drawing the material, you can repeatedly draw it with different frames, which is how I do the darkened bit to show deltas.

	DComboBox = vgui.Create('DComboBox', ReportFrame)
	DComboBox:SetPos(12, 108)
	DComboBox:SetSize(160, 20)
	DComboBox:AddChoice("ouhjsadohsadf", "data")

Trying to port over to GM13. I had a couple of DMultiChoice boxes I needed to convert. Since Multichoice was renamed to ComboBox, I did the name change

The frame (not shown in code above) appears, and so does the ComboBox. However, no options appear when I click on the combobox itself, or the arrow next to it. Are comboboxes (formerly known as MultiChoice boxes) broken, or am I being a prat?

Thanks!

Hi I need help with finding the right way to set up a STool. I've looked around but I just can't seem to get it to work. I have the basic STool structure from the GMod Wiki, but it seems broken. I set up the following code in the file path "garrysmodbeta/lua/weapons/gmod_tool/stools/GFG.lua" Here's my code

 
TOOL.Category = "Space Build"
TOOL.Name = "Gravity Field Generator"
TOOL.Command = nil
TOOL.ConfigName = "" --Setting this means that you do not have to create external configuration files to define the layout of the tool config-hud 
 
TOOL.ClientConVar[ "Gravity"] = "0"
TOOL.ClientConVar[ "Height" ] = 500
 
function TOOL:LeftClick( trace )
print("click")
return true
end
 
function TOOL:RightClick( trace )
end
 
function TOOL.BuildCPanel( panel )
	panel:AddControl("Header", { Text = "Example TOOL", Description = "Just an little example" })
 
	panel:AddControl("CheckBox", {
	    Label = "A Boolean Value",
	    Command = "example_bool"
	})
	panel:AddControl("Slider", {
	    Label = "Example Number",
	    Type = "Float",
	    Min = "0",
	    Max = "10000",
	    Command = "example_number"
	})
 
	panel:AddControl("Color", {
	    Label = "A Color",
	    Red = "example_color_r",
	    Blue = "example_color_b",
	    Green = "example_color_g",
	    Alpha = "example_color_a",
	    ShowHSV = 1,
	    ShowRGB = 1,
	    Multiplier = 255 --You can change this to make the rgba values go up to any value
	})
end 

I'm new to GMod scripting but I'm not new to Lua. I'll left click and absolutely nothing will happen. Also the name and the description are not working either.

They are fine, but what you did there is retarded unless [i]DComboBox[/i] is a [b]local[/b] in your case.
Garry made each Derma control a global table so you can use their functions in your own controls.

DComboBox (as in the var name) is a local, defined elsewhere
Which functions are you referring to in your second line?

Also, I found out why it wasn't working. I had stupidly managed to over write one of the key functions of the Combo box

Thanks

The controls are initialized with a table which contains their functions.
That table is later turned into a global by Garry's Derma code.

I've got the tmysql4 module working, however doesn't matter what function I use apart from "initialize" i get the error attempt to call method 'query' < a nill value >. I've tried using these functions kindly listed by Ruzza.
[lua]
tmysql.initialize( host, user, password, database, socket ) -- returns database metatable, socket is for linux only
tmysql.Connect = tmysql.initalize -- identical as above

tmysql.escape( string ) -- returns escaped string
tmysql.GetTable() -- returns all connections
tmysql.PollAll() -- i think forces all queries to run?

database.Query( query, callbackfunc, flags, callbackref ) -- callbackfunc = results, stats, error
database.Disconnect() -- disconnects from connection
database.SetCharset( charset ) -- sets charset
database.Poll() -- again, i think it forces the query to run?

--Some variables set

QUERY_SUCCESS = true
QUERY_FAIL = false
QUERY_FLAG_ASSOC = 1
QUERY_FLAG_LASTID = 2
MYSQL_VERSION -- returns mysql version
MYSQL_INFO -- returns a table of mysql info
[/lua]

Are someone able to post an example of how to run a query?

i'm attempting

[lua]
tmysql.query("UPDATE `time` SET `value`='" .. os.time() .. "' LIMIT 1");

One last question "LocalPlayer()" isn't working on Garry's Mod 13, and it's running completely clientside.

[me-name-bob]

Here's something I can use some help with. I want my weapons to be either unselectable when empty, or to be stripped when empty. Nothing worse than going to a firefight with an empty weapon, right?

Anyway, right now I'm using this timer set weapon stripper code in my hack job of a base. Every time I use it, I get timer errors in console. The weapon strips fine, I just want a better way to get rid of the weapon without spamming errors every time.

I should note here that these errors only show up when in multiplayer.

CheckWeaponsAndAmmo is called on primary fire, and swep:gun points to the name of the weapon.
[lua]
function SWEP:CheckWeaponsAndAmmo()
if self.Weapon:Clip1() == 0 && self.Owner:GetAmmoCount( self.Weapon:GetPrimaryAmmoType() ) == 0 then
timer.Simple(.01, self.NotYours, self)
end
end

function SWEP:NotYours()
self.Owner:StripWeapon(self.Gun)
end
[/lua]

These are the errors I get when this happens:
[lua]Timer Error: [<bullshit>\shared.lua:126] attempt to call method 'StripWeapon' (a nil value)
[/lua]

line 26 points to self.Owner:StripWeapon. My goal was to have the weapon stripper called on the next frame, but I'm obviously doing something wrong.

Anybody have any ideas?

edit: And if you're wondering, skipping the timer all together and going straight to stripweapons gives me this error:

[lua][<bullshit>\shared.lua:121] attempt to call method 'StripWeapon' (a nil value)
[/lua]

[brandonj4]

[QUOTE=me-name-bob;37598050]-snip-[/QUOTE]
Use this:
[lua]
function SWEP:CheckWeaponsAndAmmo()
local wep = self.Weapon
local owner = self.Owner
if wep:Clip1() == 0 && owner:GetAmmoCount(wep:GetPrimaryAmmoType()) == 0 then
timer.Simple(0.2, NotYours, owner)
end
end

function SWEP:NotYours()
local owner = self.Owner
owner:StripWeapon(self.Weapon:GetClass())
end
[/lua]

these 4 lines cause the console to spam errors pertaining to a completely different series of scripts in the ai base, and ai modules.
