What do you need help with? V3

[Matt W]

Is there any way to draw binary PNG data as a texture?

[Roltzy]

So I'm making a gamemode that among other things includes cars with passenger slots.

I used InitPhysics(SOLID_VPHYSICS) on the player to make the parenting work. After setting the walk type it didn't seem to break anything. The problem I'm having is that crouching somehow breaks the player origin. I tried to reset the player position and disabling duck bind but none of those things helped.

Everything seems to work as expected:

[QUOTE=JustSoFaded;38055289]Oh, well then on deploy what you want to do is self.Owner:SetModel("zombie/models/path/here"); and then set up the animations properly (Look on the wiki for a full SWEP guide).[/QUOTE]

How does one include a binary module in gm13?

[Hugabuga]

I'm having trouble with it again.. I know that the module needs to be in lua/bin/,

tho now it has to be something like gm(sv/cl)_modulename_(win32/linux/osx) and what the fuck not.

[QUOTE=Zyler;38073021]Is it possible to make a table of weapons dropped by a specific player when they drop them? I want to make a script where specific weapons are dropped by the player, with no one able to pick them up until I move them (teleport?) to the player so he can pick them up.

The weapons would also have to be removed on the death of the player whether they are on the ground or the player (this is to prevent weapon duping).

Thanks for your help in advance.[/QUOTE]

Do you have any experience with lua? This should kick start you a little bit, I can't really get too in depth right now.
[URL="http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/index3789.html"]GAMEMODE:PlayerCanPickupWeapon()[/URL]
Try starting with this, begin the function by checking if the weapon has an owner. If it does have an owner and it is not that player, return false.(This is the whole "prevent players from taking others weapons" thingy you wanted) Now if it doesn't have an owner, set the weapons owner to yourself(WAPON.MyOwner = player).
For the death thing just link your script into the player death hook and remove the weapons on hand or loops through all weapons laying around, check to see if the owner is the dead player, then remove them if so. I hope this helps a little, just got off work and my minds a little bubbly (:

I've done most of this all already, specifically what I'm looking for here is a way to make a table of the weapons that are dropped by a specfic player when they drop them, a table that is attached to those particular weapons so I can make them only able to be picked up by that specific player and only have those specific weapons be removed when they die.

Here's what I have done already (before you made your post).
[lua]local function PregameSetup()
util.AddNetworkString( "ChangeBuildModeCl1" )
util.AddNetworkString( "ChangeBuildModeCl0" )
util.AddNetworkString( "ChangeBuildModeCl3" )
end

CurrentBuildMode = 1
PlayerRecentlyRespawned = 0

if CurrentBuildMode == 1 then
ply:GodEnable()

elseif CurrentBuildMode == 0 then
ply:GodDisable()

elseif CurrentBuildMode == 3 then
ply:RemoveAllItems()
ply:GodDisable()
return true
end
end

local function ChangeBuildMode(ply)
if CurrentBuildMode == 1 then
CurrentBuildMode = 0
net.Start( "ChangeBuildModeCl1", ply )
net.Send(ply)
ply:GodDisable()
if (ply:GetMoveType() == MOVETYPE_NOCLIP) then
ply:SetMoveType(MOVETYPE_WALK)
end

elseif CurrentBuildMode == 0 then
CurrentBuildMode = 1
net.Start( "ChangeBuildModeCl0", ply )
net.Send(ply)
ply:GodEnable()
for k, v in pairs(ply:GetWeapons()) do
if (v:GetClass()!="weapon_physgun") then

end
end
end
end

end
end

end
end

if (wep:GetClass()!="gmod_camera") then
return false
end --closes if wep:GetClass is not gmod_tool
end --closes wep:GetClass is not gmod camera
end
elseif CurrentBuildMode == 0 then
if PlayerRecentlyRespawned == 1 then

for k,v in pairs(ply:GetWeapons()) do

ply:DropWeapon(v)
PlayerRecentlyRespawned = 0

end
end
end )

elseif (wep:GetClass()=="weapon_physgun") then
return false

elseif (wep:GetClass()=="gmod_tool") then
return false

elseif (wep:GetClass()=="gmod_camera") then
return false

else return true
end --closes wep:GetClass is physgun

elseif CurrentBuildMode == 3 then
return false

end --closes if CurrentBuildMode
end --closes function

local function WeaponPickups2(ply, wep)
PlayerRecentlyRespawned = 1
end

concommand.Add( "ChangeBuildMode", ChangeBuildMode )
hook.Add("PlayerSpawn","PlayerDropWeapons", WeaponPickups2)
hook.Add("PlayerLoadout", "Build Mode Special Weapon Spawns", SpawnWithWeapons)
hook.Add("Initialize", "Net String Precaching", PregameSetup)
hook.Add("PlayerCanPickupWeapon", "Weapon Pickups Based on Build Mode", WeaponPickups)[/lua]

All it does at the moment is check 2 variables: one that checks whether your in a particular build mode that sets what weapons you can carry and one that changes based on whether you have respawned recently.

Before I go on, I need a way to make a table or somehow store in a variable the specific weapons that the player drops when they spawn or use the console command to switch build modes. Once I find a way to do that I can make those weapons be removed when the player dies, but also have them only able to be picked up by that specific player when they use the console command again.

I just thought I could ask for this without copying the whole code.

Well first of all my good sir that is the code from my flood gamemode, but that tabbing was done by someone else and not me.

And I don't think you are getting the concept of what I'm telling you. What I told you to do does exactly what you want. You don't need to create a table on the weapon, you just need to add a variable to the weapon "WEAPON.MyOwner = Player" Then when you first buy the weapon add the owner to the weapon. Therefor if anyone ever tries to pick it up, just check if the owner is == to the player and if not dont let them pick it up. Walla, only owner can pick it up, other players cant. Then all you need to add is to remove all weapons owned by that player when they die.

I don't know who you are, but I did all of that code myself regardless of the horrible tabbing (don't worry my friends complain about it all the time). I'll try adding a player owner to the weapon entities, I just didn't think that it was possible to do that with dropped entities.

Edit:
So I added "print(v:GetOwner())" into the code like this:
[lua]for k,v in pairs(ply:GetWeapons()) do
if (v:GetClass()!="weapon_physgun") then
if (v:GetClass()!="gmod_tool") then
if (v:GetClass()!="gmod_camera") then
ply:DropWeapon(v)
PlayerRecentlyRespawned = 0
print(v:GetOwner()) --<---------HERE!
end
end
end
end [/lua]

Trying to get the owner of a dropped weapon just returns "[NULL Entity]" while getting the owner of the weapon before it's dropped gives the player who dropped it. This would imply that no one owns the entity after it is dropped.

How would I be able to find the entities after they've been dropped and also the player who dropped them?

Edit2:
I think I was able to add dropped weapons into a table. I still need to somehow attach these entities (entrys within the table) to the player who dropped them. Here's what I've got:
[lua]CurrentBuildMode = 1
PlayerRecentlyRespawned = 0
PlayerDroppedWeapons = { }

local function WeaponPickups(ply, wep)

if PlayerRecentlyRespawned == 1 then
timer.Create("fixPlayerRecentlyRespawned", 0.1, 1, function()
for k,v in pairs(ply:GetWeapons()) do
if (v:GetClass()!="weapon_physgun") then
if (v:GetClass()!="gmod_tool") then
if (v:GetClass()!="gmod_camera") then
table.insert( PlayerDroppedWeapons, v )
ply:DropWeapon(v)
PlayerRecentlyRespawned = 0
end
end
end
end
end )
print( PlayerDroppedWeapons )
return true
elseif (wep:GetClass()!="weapon_physgun") then
if (wep:GetClass()!="gmod_tool") then
if (wep:GetClass()!="gmod_camera") then
return false
end --closes if wep:GetClass is not gmod_tool
end --closes wep:GetClass is not gmod camera
end
elseif CurrentBuildMode == 0 then
if PlayerRecentlyRespawned == 1 then
timer.Create("fixPlayerRecentlyRespawned", 0.1, 1, function()
for k,v in pairs(ply:GetWeapons()) do
if (v:GetClass()=="weapon_physgun") then
ply:DropWeapon(v)
PlayerRecentlyRespawned = 0
elseif (v:GetClass()=="gmod_tool") then
ply:DropWeapon(v)
PlayerRecentlyRespawned = 0
elseif (v:GetClass()=="gmod_camera") then
ply:DropWeapon(v)
PlayerRecentlyRespawned = 0
end
end
end )

elseif (wep:GetClass()=="weapon_physgun") then
return false

elseif (wep:GetClass()=="gmod_tool") then
return false

elseif (wep:GetClass()=="gmod_camera") then
return false

else return true
end --closes wep:GetClass is physgun

return false

end --closes if CurrentBuildMode
end --closes function

local function WeaponPickups2(ply, wep)

Must just be major deja vu and lack of sleep on my end, but that code looks very familiar. And I have a hard time believing you wrote all that if you can't grasp the simple thing I'm trying to tell you. If you didn't write out that code there's no point in lying because you won't get anymore help, you'll just get more complicating answers to your questions when people helping you assume you know what you are doing. OK let's start from scratch, read what I'm about to tell you carefully and maybe you will get it...

When a weapon first comes into existence, whether you spawn it to a player, the player buys it, or it is spawned somewhere on the ground, make sure to add a variable to it.
[lua]
Weapon.MyVariable = 0
--In your case you would want this:
Weapon.MyOwner = Player --Weapon being the actual weapon itself and Player being the actual player.
[/lua]
This weapon will now carry this variable forever until it is set to nil or removed in some other way which doesn't happen unless you intentionally remove it.

Now think about it, once you set this weapons "MyOwner" variable, it will always know who the "owner" is. Just use this variable in other functions and scripts that have to deal with the weapon, for example:
[lua]
function GM:PlayerCanPickupWeapon( pl, weapon )
if weapon.MyOwner == pl then
--The weapons "MyOwner" variable matches up with me, the player, so we get to pick it up!
return true
else
pl:Kill() --Kill those dirty pigs trying to take my weapon!
end
end
[/lua]

If you still don't know what you are doing you Really need to take a step back and work on a much much smaller project that actually has tutorials before you try to start freelancing this bitch.

I won't take your recommendation, but I will take your coding help. I also don't need your snide remarks and I don't need your doubting of my own honesty in my coding skill. The way you're saying I didn't code my own script seems very offensive to me. I'm not calling you a douche bag and you don't know me so it's fair enough on your part, but you should know I expect at least a little bit of respect from other people off the bat rather than having them judge me before they even know me.

On another, less serious and likely more on-topic note, how would I be able to find all dropped weapons on the map? I've almost got this worked out, but I need a way to find all the dropped weapons so I can do the required checks.

Edit: Fixed, just used ent.getall() it's easier that way
