Anyone? I cant even find a function to call for playermodels.

Garry changed it somVector.Normalize doesn't return a new vector but modifies it, you need to ise Vector.GetNormalized instead.

[QUOTE=Chessnut;37863087]Garry changed it somVector.Normalize doesn't return a new vector but modifies it, you need to ise Vector.GetNormalized instead.[/QUOTE]

Okay, that makes sense now. I fixed it now.

And on another note, how do I cause NPCs to fly back when I kill them?
Using SetDamageForce( Vector )with DamageInfo() doesn't do anything

[ah]

[QUOTE=Persious;37862596]Not the problem, I changed the value of it, but nothing changed.[/QUOTE]

is that what the default dnumslider looks like in gmod13?

[QUOTE=highvoltage;37862153]Is it just me or is Vector:Normalize() broken?
Running this:
[lua]local test = Vector(23,56,39):Normalize()*10[/lua]
Gives me this error:

attempt to perform arithmetic on a nil value

[editline]30th September 2012[/editline]

Okay, so this works fine:
[lua]a = Vector( 4, 3, 2 )
a:Normalize()
print( a )[/lua]
But this:
[lua]local vecSub = tr.HitPos-self.Owner:GetShootPos()
MsgN("vecSub "..tostring(vecSub))
local vecFinal = vecSub:Normalize()--*10000
MsgN("vecFinal "..tostring(vecFinal))
local phys = tr.Entity:GetPhysicsObject() [/lua]
Prints out this:

vecSub -119.880371 -1.104706 -49.188019
vecFinal nil

It worked fine in Gmod 12 so something must of been changed[/QUOTE]

Normalize now works similar like RotateAroundAxis, see my post for proper use.

Could someone please help me with the Cocaine from Durgz 2.2?

When I take the Cocaine, I get the visual high on my HUD and then when it disappears, I still run extremely fast like I'm still on Cocaine but I shouldn't be.

Hey guys, I need help with creating a Derma VGUI for my DarkRP server:
[HR][/HR]
-I want to create a VGUI that is automatically opened when a new player joins the server.
-Basically, it states the rules and a few tips that players will find interesting to have knowledge of.
-Then, I want to add two buttons (one that says 'Accept' and one that says 'Decline'). If the user presses 'Accept', then the menu will disappear and the user will be able to play.
-If the user presses 'Decline', then the user will get a notification saying that he must accept the rules before he can play.

So yeah, it's pretty simple and I'm sure that a shit ton of you guys can get this done in no time. But I, on the other hand, can certainly not. I know C++ and VB, and that's pretty much it. I was looking around for a Derma IDE, and I actually found [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=940310"]Derma Designer[/URL], and then [URL="http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1099390"]Gmod IDE[/URL].

I have not tried Gmod IDE yet, but I have tried Derma Designer. I'm trying to find a few guides/tutorials but they are limited.

I'm certainly not ASKING anyone to just do this project for me and get it over with, I really won't learn shit and I'll just have to rely on asking people to finish projects for me. I want to learn how to do them by myself, with minimal help.

So if there is anyone who could kind of show me the ropes, and give me maybe a small tutorial or like be my tutor, that would be so sick! PM me on FP or email me at [email][e-mail][/email]

I really hope someone can aid me in this...

[me-name-bob]

Dammit. Does anybody have any idea why deploy and reload annimations will play on single player, and on hosted server, but not on a dedicated server online? Files are the same all around, but on my hosted server, I just can't get deploy and reload animations to play.

I've tried IsFirstTimePredicted, and i'm getting nowhere. No errors, no nothing. Just instead of a deploy animation, the weapon snaps up there in an instant. Reloads don't play at all, the weapon is just instantly ready. This won't do, especially with a rocket launcher.

How stupid do you expect us to be ?
It's obvious that you are trying to code an aimbot, because you can't aim.
We have had enough problems with bots/hacks.
You should take another look at the lua pil.

Could somebody point me in the general direction, as to how I can spawn my model exactly at the position I'm looking at?
The Code I currently have creates it right infront of me, yet I have no idea how to add some distance to it.

local ent = ents.Create( "prop_physics" )
ent:SetModel( model_file )
ent:SetPos( self.Owner:EyePos() + (self.Owner:GetAimVector() * 16 ) )
ent:SetAngles( Angle( 0 , 0 , 0 ) )
ent:Spawn( )
ent:SetMoveType( MOVETYPE_NONE )

Maybe this is a bit too complicated to answer here but it would also be helpfull if it would create a "ghost" of my current object where I'm pointing at, like the advanced duplicator tool does.

Thanks in advance <3

You know Lua isn't an abbreviation, right?

Also it was simple code and if you actually cared you could see that the money printer amount is a convar. rp_printamount I believe.

[haxordee]

I just type LUA because I'm weird like that; but I say it LEWAH like one of those Hawaiian LOOHAUS or some shit.

And you think I don't care?

function ENT:CreateMoneybag()
	if not ValidEntity(self) then return end
	if self:IsOnFire() then return end
	local MoneyPos = self:GetPos()

	if math.random(1, 22) == 3 then self:BurstIntoFlames() end

	local amount = GetConVarNumber("mprintamount")
	if amount == 0 then
		amount = 250
	end

I saw after a while that for the printer to print the amount designated for each different printer, then "mprintamount" has to be set at 0 for it to work, or basically "mprintamount" would be disabled.

Hey all, just making a gamemode and am not sure how to overcome this problem... Any help would be awesome.

What I want to do is this: When my round starts ( have a round system already), players spawn at a random spawn point which I define, depending on the map. Two players cannot spawn at the same point.

So basically, I would have a list of spawnpoints for each map, and on round.start a player spawns at one of those spawn points, and a spawn point can only be taken by one person.

If you know how any of this can be done, please show me how. Many thanks.

[Luni]

Just a hypothetical solution, run after all players have spawned:

[lua]-- Shuffle the spawnpoints table
spawnpoints = table.Shuffle(spawnpoints);

-- Match up each player with one of the shuffled spawnpoints
for k, v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
-- Do we have enough spawnpoints?
if (not spawnpoints[k]) then
-- mother FUCKER
error("Couldn't set a round spawn position for " .. tostring(v) .. ": ran out of spawnpoints!");
end
v:SetPos(spawnpoints[k]:GetPos());
end[/lua]

Given that spawnpoints is a table of, say, custom point entities, which you can then use in PlayerSelectSpawn.

(Also, you'd have to copy table.Shuffle out of TTT, or find your own. There're plenty of shuffling algorithms on the Google, like [url=http://developer.coronalabs.com/code/shufflerandomize-tables]this one[/url].)

[b]Edit:[/b] Aw, balls, now I just feel dumb. Updated it. Just make sure you place more spawnpoints than your maximum number of players.
