What do you need help with? V3

[DoubleElite]

Well for some reason I can't get this Derma menu to show up. I'm getting this error:
[ERROR] addons/enemy hit box/lua/autorun/hitbox.lua:20: attempt to index local 'DPanel' (a nil value)

[lua]

// Enemy HitBox \\

if SERVER then

function DamageTaken( target, dmginfo )

if( target:IsPlayer() == false ) then
Msg( target:GetName(), " Took Damage" )
end

end

hook.Add("EntityTakeDamage", "HitDetection", DamageTaken)

end

if CLIENT then

local DPanel = vgui.Create( "DFrame" ) // Create the frame in a local variable
DPanel:SetPos( 100, 100 ) // Set the position to 100, 100 ( x, y )
DPanel:SetSize( 300, 200 ) // Set the size to 300, 200 pixels
DPanel:SetTitle( "My new Derma frame" ) // Set the title
DPanel:SetVisible( true ) // Can you see it? ( Optional - default true )
DPanel:SetDraggable( true ) // Can you move/drag it? ( optional - default true )
DPanel:ShowCloseButton( true ) // Can you see the close button ( reccomended ) ( optional - default true )
DPanel:MakePopup() // Make it popup

end

[/lua]

[G4MB!T]

you are probably trying to use vgui before it or derma has been initialized so it cant create the menu.

try putting it in InitPostEntity or make a timer or something.

[psycix]

I was wondering if it was possible in gmod lua to get whether or not caps lock is on (clientside of course).

[DoubleElite]

Ah alright. Would you recommended a better way of doing this, or is this the most efficient way?

[lua]
if CLIENT then

hook.Add("InitPostEntity", "Init GUI", function()

local DPanel = vgui.Create( "DFrame" ) // Create the frame in a local variable
DPanel:SetPos( 100, 100 ) // Set the position to 100, 100 ( x, y )
DPanel:SetSize( 300, 200 ) // Set the size to 300, 200 pixels
DPanel:SetTitle( "My new Derma frame" ) // Set the title
DPanel:SetVisible( true ) // Can you see it? ( Optional - default true )
DPanel:SetDraggable( true ) // Can you move/drag it? ( optional - default true )
DPanel:ShowCloseButton( true ) // Can you see the close button ( reccomended ) ( optional - default true )
DPanel:MakePopup() // Make it popup

end)

end
[/lua]
It works, I was just curious if I was doing this the best way.

[G4MB!T]

well you could use a usermessage from the server in PlayerInitialSpawn which would work just as well i guess but you dont really need it.

having the client create it when its ready is a better option in my opinion.

[Jeffman12]

Can't find an entry relevant to the other thread with this, so I figure this is fitting here:

[ERROR] addons/warmelons/lua/entities/base_warmelon/init.lua:124: attempt to perform arithmetic on a nil value
  1. DoMoves - addons/warmelons/lua/entities/base_warmelon/init.lua:124
   2. unknown - addons/warmelons/lua/entities/base_warmelon/init.lua:224

Error occurs when a melon is ordered to move and persists until melon is removed or destroyed.

Line 121	local angle1 = self.TargetVec[1] - self.Entity:GetPos();
.
.
Line 124		self.Entity:GetPhysicsObject():ApplyForceCenter (angle1:Normalize() * self.MovingForce * melonspeed);

Included line 121 as it declares angle1, and I presume this is the troublesome component.

[G4MB!T]

you cant use Normalize() in an expression anymore.

instead go

local angle1 = self.TargetVec[1] - self.Entity:GetPos();
angle1:Normalize();

then use
self.Entity:GetPhysicsObject():ApplyForceCenter (angle1 * self.MovingForce * melonspeed);

[TheTrueAndy]

Can someone give me the keyvalues of env_skypaint, please?

[G4MB!T]

sure.

[lua]
local e = ents.Create("env_skypaint")

PrintTable(e:GetKeyValues())
[/lua]

:)

[TheTrueAndy]

arr furk *facetable* thanks.

um lol, gmod 13 says
[lua]
RunConsoleCommand("trigger_target_parameter", "\<none\>") [/lua]

invalid escape sequence near '"'
 

but it worked before the update to 13. o_o

[G4MB!T]

\< and \> arent proper escape sequences just use < and >

[TheTrueAndy]

[QUOTE=G4MB!T;38245463]\< and \> arent proper escape sequences just use < and >[/QUOTE]
I did

\r<none\r>

now xD

[editline]:[/editline]
I always though he wouldn't recognize "<none>", but now I get it:
It was just a lag as I ran the code.
So now I did "<none>"

[G4MB!T]

uhm.. what?

[TheTrueAndy]

Nothing. All good.

[jellofacey]

I wana learn how to make effects pop out of something
any help will be appreciated.

[G4MB!T]

could you be more specific?

[jellofacey]

[QUOTE=G4MB!T;38245592]could you be more specific?[/QUOTE]

i want effects to be poping out in a string like a lazer from a npc when i shoot him.

[TheTrueAndy]

I want to include a file in "lua/" from a file in "lua/autorun/", but if I do
[lua]
include("filename.lua")[/lua]
it says it can't find the lua file.

It worked before gmod 13.

How can I include files in the main "lua/" folder now?

[G4MB!T]

include looks in the lua/ directory, not autorun.

use include("autorun/file.lua")

[TheTrueAndy]

[QUOTE=G4MB!T;38246068]include looks in the lua/ directory, not autorun.

use include("autorun/file.lua")[/QUOTE]
Well, it should.

[quote=wiki]Description: Executes a Lua script either relative to the current file, or absolute(relative to the /lua/ folder). [/quote]

[G4MB!T]

why should it look in autorun instead of lua? thats just stupid.

and thats exactly what i just said.

Not sure what Garry changed, I hope you guys can help me with these piece of codes:

use "LUA" instead of LUA_PATH

[jmazouri]

Anyone know where the lua source for the playermodel menu is (if anywhere)?

I'll tell you why I got irritated from this:

I said my lua file is in "lua/", but you told me I should use autorun.
I did say the include function will be called from a file in lua/autorun/ and the file to be included is in lua/. That's what I meant.
I know include looks in lua/ so I don't know why it's not working.

(I just didn't wrote it properly, you mistunderstood and I followed the mistake.)

[QUOTE=RP-01;38230978]You keep getting this error, because self.Pilot is probably nil.
You should change line 48 to 81 into this:
[lua]function ENT:DoKill()
self.Pilot:UnSpectate()
self.Pilot:DrawViewModel(true)
self.Pilot:DrawWorldModel(true)
self.Pilot:Spawn()

self.Pilot:SetPos(self.Entity:GetPos()+Vector(0,0,100))
end

function ENT:OnTakeDamage(dmg)
if self.Inflight and DESTROYABLE and not self.Done then
local health=self.Entity:GetNetworkedInt("health")
self.Entity:SetNetworkedInt("health",health-dmg:GetDamage())
local health=self.Entity:GetNetworkedInt("health")
if health<1 then
self.Entity:DoKill()
self.Done=true
self.Entity:Remove()
end
end
end

function ENT:OnRemove()
if (self.Sound) then
self.Sound:Stop()
end

local effectdata = EffectData()
effectdata:SetOrigin( self.Entity:GetPos() )
util.Effect( "Explosion", effectdata, true, true )

if self.Pilot then self.Entity:DoKill() end
end[/lua]
Your code is pretty messy btw. You really should clean it up "a bit"..
