What do you need help with? V3

[Drakehawke]

Is render.SetScissorRect supposed to work in 3D2D?

[Azaz3l]

I'm working on some swep in which I need to change holdtypes when I hold mouse2 button, the problem is that when I change it from "normal" to "revolver", the holdtype stance just won't update in MP when I look at other players, it's still "normal" instead of "revolver". Any help?

[QUOTE=runamagic;38219059]file.Read("basics.txt","DATA")

Is this line wrong?

I put my file to ..\content\data\basics.txt[/QUOTE]
Correct me if I'm wrong but AFAIK "DATA" doesn't include mounted games/addons/gamemode content.

You're going to have to use file.Read("data/basics.txt", "GAME").

[Fidchell]

I have an entity that cannot find its shared.lua for some reason.

"Couldn't include file 'shared.lua' (File not found) (@addons/goremod/lua/entities/chappi_gib/cl_init.lua (line 1))"

Here's cl_init:

include('shared.lua')
function ENT:Draw()
    self:DrawModel()

Something like this should do it:

What's the entities base & type?

It's a base for other entities and it's at the same time base_anim.

Just saying, you don't need self.Entity, just use self. The self.Entity thing is old and deprecated.

Anyone know if SetModelScale has been replaced or something? It has a bad argument with #2, number expected, got no value...or something.

Okay, I'll try.

[lua]function dermapanels( vgui, Create, vgui.Create, DermaPanel, DFrame)[/lua]
What?

[lua]local DermaFart = vgui.Create( "DButton", LocalPlayer )[/lua]
What? Why are you putting LocalPlayer as the second arg?

[lua]LocalPlayer:SetName("An Admin")[/lua]

LocalPlayer() <- needs ()

Also, there is no line 65 in that code nor is there any indication as to which line is line 65. My guess is if that particular error is showing up you're including it serverside. In which case, don't include it serverside.

[Willox]

[QUOTE=LegoGuy;38227151]Alright... now how do I use it for a my entity?[/QUOTE]

You can use it within a think hook, so it could be as simple as:

[lua]
function ENT:Think()
effects.halo.Add(self, Color(0, 0, 255), 5, 5, 2)
end
[/lua]

SetModelScale doesn't take a Vector anymore it takes two numbers, one is the scale and the second is the delta time for scale change ie:
[lua]v.CreateLegs:SetModelScale(Vector(1, 1, 1))[/lua]

becomes:
[lua] v.CreateLegs:SetModelScale(1, 1)[/lua]

You want the second number to be 0 actually otherwise you're changing it over the course of 1 second.
