Figured it out, I was trying to use a sandbox function in my base gamemode.

is there any way to disable built-in effects from weapons?

such as muzzle flashes and shell ejections?

A lot of what you are trying to do will not work with what you have right now. You are mixing derma controls with other ones and not capitalizing/spelling things right. If you want to make a simple rules menu, I suggest you look a little more in depth about the derma controls I list below and start over.

[URL="http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/indexc281.html"]DFrame[/URL] Make your main menu with this.

I have a [b]brush based entity[/b] and [b]it moves[/b] even though I have run self:SetMoveType(MOVETYPE_NONE)

It moves when I jump into it, to be more specific, the model, the visual part, doesn't move, however It is playing the noises as though it is moving, and I know the collision box has moved, because I tested it with an entity.

Is there a way to either stop physical forces from pushing it, or just out right stop movement, or freeze it?

Added note, it is a brushed based entity, and I am running:

self:PhysicsInit(SOLID_BSP)
self:SetMoveType(MOVETYPE_NONE)
self:SetSolid(SOLID_BSP)

Hi, not a lua question as such but it affects my project.

I want to use some code from Wenli's Precision Alignment tool (the mirroring functions) But I noticed that the code is GPLv3 licensed. What's the proper way of attributing that portion of code to him in my project? Google turned up nothing useful, surprisingly.

That makes absolutely no sense. Why are you creating those net.Receive hooks?
You could just get the money etc. serverside?

Don't rely on the client to sanitize your database input, motivated clients can bypass that.

Given a plane normal vector, how do I get an Angle perpendicular to the normal (e.g. forward vector parallel with plane, up vector parallel to normal)?

Having a hard time understanding what you need, could you please give a more clear example?

[Bubbus]

I have a mirror-plane defined by a normal vector and a center position. I want to get [i]any[/i] angle which points along the plane, and respects the normal direction.

Ex; If I use angle:Forward(), I want that vector to be parallel to the plane's surface. If I use angle:Up(), I want that vector to be parallel to the plane's normal vector. Doesn't matter what particular direction angle:Forward() points along the plane, as long as angle:Up() is correct.

If I was using E2 I could use quat(vec(1,0,0), normal):toAngle() but I don't think GLua has a quaternion library. :v:

[QUOTE=Splambob;37630310]If I was using E2 I could use quat(vec(1,0,0), normal):toAngle() but I don't think GLua has a quaternion library. :v:[/QUOTE]

You could find out what E2 does when you run those functions and use the same code, but that might be a lot of unecessary code

Yeah very true but I was thinking the same thing. Wanted to know if there was some obvious thing I was missing before I resorted to quats :v:

Lua is my first programming language, as I'm learning completely from scratch for a school project. That would explain why none of the code really makes sense - it's because I'm quite a beginner.

What I'm trying to do is allow the server to accept net messages from client-side scripts, then write that message directly to the SQL. I realize that it's an insecure way to do it, but at the moment, I'm just trying to get it to work - I'll work on security later.

What's the best way to go about this using the net library?

[Bubbus]

From my understanding, defending against SQL injection is easy if you use the provided string sanitizer function. Try using [url=http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/indexce94.html]G.SQLStr[/url] to stop people like me deleting all your player records :v:

Ohai, i have a problem.. in my stool i have a function called drawGuis() which deletes DPan if it exists, and then creates DFrame "DPan" using vgui.Create.

after the script runs through for the first time, and it calls drawGuis() after creating main context menu cpanel, the drawGuis() works flawlessly.

when i press enter in a text box in the gui, and it calls TextTick() which calls drawGuis() it works flawlessly.

the problem i have is
when i call drawGuis() after you have left clicked with the tool, it totally starts to flip its shit.
it says DPan is nil even though it is clearly there. After that it tries to create the DPan with vgui.Create
it says global vgui is a nil value (wut) and absolutely no functions in the drawGuis() work.
also the tool will break after that.
how come i can call the function drawGui() after the main gui has been created, and through another function after i have pressed enter on a box, but on left click it totally breaks?

Looks like you're calling drrawGuis serverside. Your menu doesn't exist on the server, only the client
