[QUOTE=andre_bule;37937237]Hey guys I had having problems with ValidEntity

Heres the code, I have been playing with this for days but i did not found a solution yet. (FOR GM13)

function GM.CruiseControlTimer()

		local v = t[k]
		if(ValidEntity(v:GetVehicle())) then -- <---THIS IS LINE 75!

Stop trying to edit Perp, copying and pasting won't get you anywhere with GMOD13 or at all.

Can I? Well, I suppose we could just sit in this room and glare at each other untill somebody drops dead, but i have a better idea, how about we go back to the topic, and btw, I fixed cruise control, i just want to ask if there is any change with the code that i should know, but lets not make a war here, we are all here to help and be helped, i just want to ask if there is any change in SetVisible or IsVisible.

Witch is?

[G4MB!T]

no

SetVisible sets if the object is visible or not, IsVisible returns if it is or not. the 2 work together.

there has been no change (seriously what would you change?)

and also your error doesnt even have anything to do with either method

[SmallieBiggs]

Just a quick question, is there any way to change a player's models bodygroup or skin?

would rather a gmod13 method if there is one.

[nick_9_8]

I'm trying to create a console command so I can rank people using evolve, even if they aren't online.

Here's what I'm trying to do: Create a concommand called writerank <player> <rank>
This will save this data into a .txt file. Then I will run a check on spawn, and if the STEAM_ID is on the server, get their playername and execute the console command "ev rank <player> <rank>".

I tried to do this for a little bit, but I feel I'm just writing buggy crap which wont work..

Any ideas? Example code would be awesome... cheers all.

Not trying to, i'm just saying GMOD13 Is a fresh start there is no need to bring cancer with us. You may enjoy the gamemode which is fine, but all i'm saying is try something new, learn to code, make a gamemode etc. Sorry if i'm rubbing of as a hater or an asshole. We don't want to fix you're perp so please take it some where else.

[G4MB!T]

godlike....your name speaks for itself son

[Tetris Reaper]

I still feel so stupid because I've been trying to get this to work for ages now.
This is meant to work on a multiplayer server. I have only tested it in Singleplayer so far, so that might be a problem.

What I'm trying to do, is create a script that once a player gets beneath 40 hp, they are significantly slowed down.
What it does right now, is slow you down as soon as you take damage, no matter how much you take.

Is anyone able to understand, or see why it does that?

function slowonhealth(player)

	if not IsValid(player) or not player:IsPlayer() then return end

	if player:Health() >= 40 then
		player:SetWalkSpeed(150)
		player:SetRunSpeed(250)
		player:SetMaxSpeed(500)
	else
		player:SetWalkSpeed(100)
		player:SetRunSpeed(150)
		player:SetMaxSpeed(250)
	end
end

hook.Add("EntityTakeDamage","slowthemdownpickthemup",slowonhealth)

PS: This is in Garrysmod 12, and running on a clean Garrysmod.

[G4MB!T]

garrysmod 13 is less than 2 weeks away.. stop posting gmod 12 shit

[Foohy]

This code is still valid in GMod 13, cool your jets.

Reaper, your code may actually be working, but the run speed you set to when the health is greater than 40 is less than what sandbox sets it to (walk: 250 and run: 500)

[pedrus]

Why is it that ulx modules don't have access to ttt game mode functions IE ply:setLiveKarma(#). Is it because setLiveKarma is an accessor function?

Hello everyone. I don't work with [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Classes/IMaterial]IMaterial[/url] that much and I am wondering, is there a way to override a material already being painted within the world? Not the texture, but the entire material. I am trying to work out a way to get the new env_skypaint entity to work in maps that don't have the entity compiled in them, but for this to work I need to override skybox materials, or atleast be able to change some properties on them (like their shader). I have tried doing this with the code below, but can't get IMaterial:SetShader to work for the skybox material, I am thinking it doesn't recognize g_sky as a shader. Don't really pay attention to the skypaint entity part, the problem lies in the Material:SetShader. Any ideas?

Lua
[lua]
if( skypaint ) then skypaint:Remove() skypaint = nil end

skypaint = ents.Create( "env_skypaint" );

skypaint:SetKeyValue("topcolor", "0.2 0.5 1.0" );
skypaint:SetKeyValue("bottomcolor", "0.8 1.0 1.0" );
skypaint:SetKeyValue("fadebias", "1.0" );
skypaint:SetKeyValue("sunsize", "2.0" );
skypaint:SetKeyValue("sunnormal", "0.4 0.0 0.01" );
skypaint:SetKeyValue("sunposmethod", "1" );
skypaint:SetKeyValue("suncolor", "0.2 0.1 0.0" );
skypaint:SetKeyValue("duskscale", "1.0" );
skypaint:SetKeyValue("duskintensity", "1.0" );
skypaint:SetKeyValue("duskcolor", "1.0 0.2 0.0" );
skypaint:SetKeyValue("drawstars", "1" );
skypaint:SetKeyValue("startexture", "skybox/starfield" );
skypaint:SetKeyValue("starscale", "0.5" );
skypaint:SetKeyValue("starfade", "1.0" );
skypaint:SetKeyValue("starspeed", "0.01" );
skypaint:SetKeyValue("hdrscale", "0.66" );

print("\nCreated env_skypaint [".. tostring(skypaint) .."]");

local sky = Material( "skybox/sky_day01_09up" );
local new = Material( "skybox/paintedUP" );

print("\nOld Shader: ".. tostring( sky:GetShader() ) .."\nNew Shader: ".. tostring( new:GetShader() ));

sky:SetShader( new:GetShader() );

print("\nOld Shader set to ".. tostring( sky:GetShader() ));
[/lua]

Output

Created env_skypaint [Entity [73][env_skypaint]]
Old Shader: UnlitGeneric
New Shader: g_sky
Old Shader set to UnlitGeneric

I am attempting to make an entity that gives you 900 health faster running and walking, but slowly kills you when you are in water.

[lua]
function ENT:Use(activator,caller)
caller:SetHealth(caller:Health() + 900)
caller:SetWalkSpeed(450)
caller:SetRunSpeed(700)
if caller:WaterLevel() >= 1 then
caller:SetHealth(caller:Health() - 50)
end

caller:EmitSound("vo/SandwichEat09.wav", 100, 100)

self.Entity:Remove()
end
[/lua]

Could somebody teach me how to make it so you lose 50 health a second in water, rather than if you use it in water you lose 50 once. I just started using lua and couldnt solve this problem.

It literally wouldn't need to touch evolve - it would just need to save a steamid and rank name next to that Id, and if that steamid joins, execute the console command "ev rank <steamid> <rank>", taking <steamid> <rank> from the text file . Get my drift?
