This code works in singleplayer but is shit for multiplayer, how would i make it properly predict?

[lua]

function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()

if not self.Weapon:CanPrimaryAttack() then return end

if self.Bursts < 2 and self.NextBurst < CurTime() then

self.Bursts = self.Bursts + 1
self.NextBurst = CurTime() + self.Primary.Burst

self.Weapon:SetNextPrimaryFire( CurTime() + self.Primary.Burst )

elseif self.Bursts >= 2 then

self.Bursts = 0
self.Weapon:SetNextPrimaryFire( CurTime() + self.Primary.Delay )

end

self.Weapon:ShootBullets( self.Primary.Damage, self.Primary.NumShots, self.Primary.Cone )
self.Weapon:TakePrimaryAmmo( 1 )

if IsFirstTimePredicted() then

self.Weapon:EmitSound( self.Primary.Sound, 100, math.random(95,105) )

if SERVER then

local scale = 0.50

if self.Owner:KeyDown( IN_DUCK ) then

scale = 0.25

elseif self.Owner:KeyDown( IN_FORWARD ) or self.Owner:KeyDown( IN_BACK ) or self.Owner:KeyDown( IN_MOVELEFT ) or self.Owner:KeyDown( IN_MOVERIGHT ) then

scale = 0.60

end

local pang, yang = math.Rand( -1 * scale, 0 ) * self.Primary.Recoil, math.Rand( -1 * ( scale / 3 ), ( scale / 3 ) ) * self.Primary.Recoil

self.Owner:ViewPunch( Angle( pang, yang, 0 ) )
self.Owner:AddAmmo( -1 )

timer.Simple( math.Rand( 0.4, 0.6 ), function() if IsValid( self ) then sound.Play( table.Random( self.ShellSounds[ self.ShellType ].Wavs ), self.Owner:GetPos(), 75, self.ShellSounds[ self.ShellType ].Pitch + math.random( -5, 5 ) ) end end )

end

end

end

function SWEP:Holster()

return self.Bursts == 0

end

function SWEP:Think()

if self.Bursts > 0 and self.NextBurst < CurTime() then

self.Weapon:PrimaryAttack()

end

end

function SWEP:Reload()

if SERVER and self.Owner:GetAmmo() < 1 then return end

if CLIENT and GAMEMODE:GetInt( "Ammo" ) < 1 then return end

if self.Weapon:Clip1() == self.Primary.ClipSize or self.Bursts != 0 then return end

self.Weapon:DefaultReload( ACT_VM_RELOAD )

end[/lua]

How would you go about adding a swep to a class? e.g. perfect climbing swep.

[.\\Shadow}]

How would I change the attacker in EntityTakeDamage? If a certain entity damages a player, I'd like to set the entity that's damaging the player to a different player, instead of that entity.

Use the class's PLAYER:Loadout() hook.

Hmph.

Is there any way to [b]undo[/b] the effects of panel:MakePopup(), so it doesn't render on top of the GMod menu? I tried panel:ParentToHUD() and taking keyboard/mouse focus, but that doesn't seem to do anything except make it disappear completely when the menu's open (which is not ideal).

I wana do something so that when i shoot a npc bluelaser1.vtf comes out in a chain.
im trying to learn lua.
thanks in advance.

[QUOTE=thejjokerr;38190611]Since I still have no idea how to properly change the GWEN skin my panels use, I've gone the hacky way:

[lua]local old = Material("gwenskin/GModDefault.png");
local new = Material("gwenskin/MyGWENSkin.png");

old:SetTexture("$basetexture", new:GetTexture("$basetexture"));[/lua]

Most of the time this works fine, but sometimes this happens to the border of my panels:

Anyone already know how to properly set the GWEN skin, without these hacky ways? Or know how to fix this problem.[/QUOTE]

[url]http://luabin.overvprojects.nl/svn/lua/skins/default.lua[/url]

Copy that and rename it to whatever.lua, change SKIN.GwenTexture to your own png, then use panel:SetSkin( "yourskin" )

my legacy swep world models are invisible. No big red error, just completely invisible. I'm working on packaging them for the workshop, but before I do, I want to fix this goofy error.

How do I get world models to show again?

Is there a way to spawn entities on the client anymore? ents.Create doesn't exist on the client... Say, for example, i wanted to spawn an ambient_generic or something.

[&gt;&gt;FRAG&lt]

Yeah I was wondering the same, This is the last piece I need to fix.

[LUA]
if ( tr.Hit ) then
local ent = ents.Create ("ent_tripmine")
if ( ent ~= nil and ent:IsValid() ) then
ent:SetPos(tr.HitPos)
//ent:SetOwner(self.Owner)
ent.User = self.Owner
ent:Spawn()
ent:Activate()
ent.EntHealth = 300
self.Owner:EmitSound( "weapons/slam/mine_mode.wav" )
self.Owner:SetAnimation(PLAYER_ATTACK1)
self.Weapon:SendWeaponAnim(ACT_VM_THROW)
timer.Create("trippulltimer",0.8,1,function()
if (IsValid(self) and IsEntity(self)) then
self:Remove()
elseif SERVER then
MsgN("Tripmine: Failed to remove on Placement - Already removed?")
end
end,self)
ent:GetTable():StartTripmineMode( tr.HitPos + tr.HitNormal, tr.HitNormal )

self:TakePrimaryAmmo( 1 )
end
end

I need some help with file.Read()

[LUA]
function TestingFileRead( ply )
print("--------")
print( file.Read( "helloworld.txt", "Data" ) ) -- Prints Hello World

end
concommand.Add("TestingFRead", TestingFileRead )
[/LUA]

This prints the file Helloworld.txt which is located in the Data folder but when I try to move that text file to another folder located within the data folder and read it from there it doesn't work.

[LUA]
function TestingFileRead( ply )
print("--------")
print( file.Read( "helloworld.txt", "Data/TestFolder" ) ) -- Prints nothing

end
concommand.Add("TestingFRead", TestingFileRead )
[/LUA]
Anyone mind helping me out?

What do you mean by how it works? If you need to see its class methods just check the [url=http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/index7801.html]wiki[/url]

[QUOTE=I Fail At Lua;38195320]I need some help with file.Read()
[/QUOTE]

You've got your argument mixed up, probably because the wiki article doesnt explain what it means by "path". The first argument to file.Read() is the actual file path (e.g. "chimera/logs.txt"), while the second argument is the directory set that the path starts in ("DATA", "LUA", "MOD" or "GAME"). Those are [i]not[/i] necessarily folder names.

The article for [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Libraries/file/Find]file.Find()[/url] does a much better job of explaining how each path type works (under Additional Notes).

How would I go about deleting a entity with a certain Entity:SetName("name")

Example
Make a entity with Entity:SetName("carl")

Then I need a way to delete all entitys with their name being "carl"

Or how can I remove by id?

So i'm really bad at lua, and was wondering how I could make a standalone timer to run a console command.
Here's what i'm doing with GoldenForge:

timer.Create( "metal", 10, 1, function()
    for k, v in pairs (player.GetAll()) do
        if !v:IsUserGroup("vip") then
            RunConsoleCommand("gf_gvspml", v, 10)
            v:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTCENTER, "Thanks for playing! You have been given 10 scrap metal!" )
        else
            RunConsoleCommand("gf_gvspml", v, 25)
            v:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTCENTER, "Thanks for donating! You have been given 25 scrap metal!" )
        end
    end
end)

But with GoldenForge, I cannot edit anything. If I edit something, my server refuses to start. So It has to happen in an outside file (using console commands). How would I make that in a standalone/autorun lua? Or would slapping it in a lua file do fine? Or am I retarted and is my code flawed?

Edit: Changed to timer.Create
Edit: Fixed, took some time but I did it :D

function StartTimer()
	timer.Create( "metal", 600, 0, function()
		for k, v in pairs (player.GetAll()) do
			local name = v:GetName()
			if !v:IsUserGroup("vip") and !v:IsUserGroup("rarityvip") and !v:IsUserGroup("satvip") and !v:IsUserGroup("zaphervip") then
				v:GiveScrapMetal(10, "Thanks for playing! You have been given 10 scrap metal!")
				v:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTCENTER, "Thanks for playing! You have been given 10 scrap metal!" );
			else
				v:GiveScrapMetal(25, "Thanks for donating! You have been given 25 scrap metal!")
				v:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTCENTER, "Thanks for donating! You have been given 25 scrap metal!" );
			end
		end
	end)
end

hook.Add( "PlayerConnect", "ConcommandTimer", StartTimer )

Is anyone good with animations? They seem to be the least documented feature of Garry's Mod. I need to force a player to play the crowbar swinging animation in third person even when their holdtype is not melee. If anyone can help me out, you will save me hours of troubleshooting.

if you are inside a swep (IE PrimaryAttack) use:
[lua]
self.Weapon:SendWeaponAnim(ACT_VM_HITCENTER);
[/lua]

else you can force it on the player by using

[lua]
ply:GetActiveWeapon():SendWeaponAnim(ACT_VM_HITCENTER)
[/lua]
