What do you need help with? V3

Aha, yeah. Should work :)

Thank you.

Does anyone know if Spacetech will update his gmsv_teleport module?

[Divran]

Here's a better way of doing it:

[lua]local mapsdata = {}

function AddMapData( Map, EntPos, Eggs )
mapsdata[Map] = {EntPos = EntPos, Eggs = Eggs}
end

function GetMapDataByName( name )
return mapsdata[Name]
end[/lua]

[Th13teen]

I'm not up to date with GM13 and I've been googling about and cant find it.

I'm trying to use a binary module in GM13... Where do I place it and is it still require( "blah" ) to run?

The modules up to date but no matter what I do its not loading.

How do I simulate this effect?

Not 100% sure, but i think that does the job.

[TheCloak]

Thank you. One more question, how would I be able to detect if what I'm looking at is a prop? And how would I be able to distinguish what type it is?

[QUOTE=thejjokerr;38150620]What else, other than being in the "admin" usergroup, makes someone an admin according to IsAdmin?:

[img]http://i.imgur.com/9j2LR.png[/img]

I haven't overriden Player.IsAdmin, so I don't think (think) it's any of my code interfering.

[editline]23rd October 2012[/editline]

Is it because IsAdmin checks for the "Admin" usergroup? Case sensitive?

[editline]23rd October 2012[/editline]

Nah that isn't it. Did IsAdmin just break?

[editline]23rd October 2012[/editline]

Strangely enough, IsAdmin returns true (as it should) on the client side.[/QUOTE]
Are you editing a gamemode or making one from scratch yourself?

if editing: find where they redefined IsAdmin and change it yourself

if making new gamemode:

[lua]
local Player = FindMetaTable("Player")
function Player:IsAdmin()
-- code
end
[/lua]

local objEnt = objPl:GetEyeTrace( ).Entity

print( objEnt:GetClass( ) )

Thanks. Sorry for all of the questions. There's very limited documentation on GMod Lua so it's hard for me to search myself

[HighVoltage]

How would I go about attaching a entity to a npc's bone after it has collided with it? Right now I just parented the entity as a placeholder but it looks like crap:

I need help, I'm currently trying to fix MelonRacer for Gmod 13.

But when the player spawns its just the normal player entity not the melon entity.

Here is the console log when i first start the game.

[QUOTE=InfernalCookie;38142817]In GM12 this code works but in GM13 the file isn't made or even detected when I manually make the file to test ( won't delete the file in order to replace it )

So I got a box but no one knows what's wrong with it?

[Chessnut]

In GM13 the folders aren't autocreated if they don't exist.

[Hyper Iguana]

Does anyone know how Garry did the spawn menu in 12/11? Specifically the part where he can have a scrollable one. I can't find the derma control.

[url=http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/index0a13.html][img]http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/www.imgdumper.nl/uploads2/4bbb51302af21/4bbb513028fdf-DGrid.png[/img][/url]

I'm looking to do something like this but just have the buttons be bigger and have it be a scrollable menu like DListView is.

[InfernalCookie]

[QUOTE=Chessnut;38155018]In GM13 the folders aren't autocreated if they don't exist.[/QUOTE]

I have a function that checks and creates non-existent directories, so that's not it.

[wanksta11]

is there a vehicle script tutorial? I wanna make a motorbike vehicle but I don't understand the script part

[jdmmer]

Does anyone has a list of the material overlays and effects to use for Gmod13?

[Mitsudigi]

Having odd problem in 13:

self:SetRenderMode(RENDERMODE_TRANSALPHA)
self:SetColor(Color(0,0,0,0))

Completely invisible.

self:SetRenderMode(RENDERMODE_TRANSALPHA)
self:SetColor(Color(0,0,0,20))

Completely visible.

Why can't I get my entity to be just slightly transparent anymore?

[me-name-bob]

Scripted sounds aren't working anymore. The script files I would place in scripts/sounds aren't getting read by gmod, so my sweps are silent. Is there any way of getting scripted sounds working again? Or will i have to use emitsound for each and every one?

I have over 40 sweps I have to fix here, please don't tell me I have to manually add every single sound

[Chessnut]

You need to use [b][url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Libraries/sound/Add]Libraries/sound/Add[img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img][/url][/b]

i remember the days when i didnt know derma, tough times :(

you are KINDA in the right track.

what you need is a DPanelList (which has been deprecated, but still exists), then loop through your models and create a spawn icon. when you click the spawn icon just make it spawn a prop_physics with the model.

i have prepared some code for you. it may/may not work

[lua]
// localized list of models
local Models = {
"model.mdl",
"model2.mdl",
// etc
};

// OR you can use a directory of models
local Models, folders = file.Find("models/*.mdl", "GAME");

local pseudoSpawnMenu = vgui.Create("DPanelList")
pseudoSpawnMenu:SetSize(256, 320); // make it a divisible by 32 (default spawnicon size, otherwise we will get ugly positioning)
pseudoSpawnMenu:Center(); // makes it center on the screen
pseudoSpawnMenu:Popup(); // makes it freeze the player and enable the mouse
pseudoSpawnMenu:EnableHorizontal(true) // enables items to be listed side by side
pseudoSpawnMenu:EnableVerticalScrollbar(true)
pseudoSpawnMenu:SetPadding(5) // distance between the panellist and the items (i think)
pseudoSpawnMenu:SetSpacing(5) // spacing between items

for _, model in pairs(Models) do
local icon = vgui.Create("SpawnIcon", pseudoSpawnMenu);
icon:SetModel(model);
icon.DoClick = function(this)
// not sure is SpawnIcon:GetModel() exists, so lets be safe
RunConsoleCommand("gm_spawn", model);
end

pseudoSpawnMenu:AddItem(icon);
end
[/lua]

that are completely different. && and || are logical conditional operators. & and | work on bits.

Not sure if you're allowed the !'s in the file name

[InfernalCookie]

I was allowed in GM12... I can make the file manually with the '!' in it... Think Gmod doesn't allow it?
