Ah thank you, I had to make changes because it would still trigger if you land

	if cmd:KeyDown(IN_JUMP) and ply:OnGround() then
		if not JumpLatch then

			print("faggot")
			
			JumpLatch = true
		end
	
	elseif not cmd:KeyDown(IN_JUMP) then
		JumpLatch = false
	end

Thank you

There is far too much math going on in this thread. Either way, nice job, all!
I'm out of ideas for my arrow. Need more.

@ROFLBURGER, you should be handling this in a shared environment. Here's a predicted example.
The only reason you needed your hasjumped boolean check for the jump itself is because of improper use of predicted functions. You'll still need something similar for landings though (a networked boolean).

local META = FindMetaTable "Player"

function META:GetStamina()
	return self:GetDTFloat( 12 ) -- Come the next update, NWVars can be used rather than a seemingly 'random' index
end

function META:SetStamina( stamina )
	self:SetDTFloat( 12, stamina )
end

hook.Add( "StartCommand", "", function( ply, cmd )
	if cmd:KeyDown( IN_JUMP ) and ply:OnGround() then

		if ply:GetStamina() < 20 then

			cmd:RemoveKey( IN_JUMP ) -- Player can't jump with less than 20 stamina

		else

			ply:SetStamina( math.max( 0, ply:GetStamina() - 20 ) ) -- Decrement by 20 stamina per jump

		end

	end
end )

hook.Add( "PlayerTick", "", function( ply )

	ply:SetStamina( math.min( 100, ply:GetStamina() + FrameTime() * 5 ) ) -- Increment by 5 stamina per second

	print( ply:GetStamina() )

end )

Maybe limit SetStamina calling so it only runs when necessary.

I did a basic particle effect to show where the bullet's travelling. I did some slight code modification and I'll be organizing my code a bit differently, but it totally works.

This is with a distance of 512 units.

That looks like that bullet is either extremely slow, or very heavy... or gravity is through the roof. Assuming the white glows with green dots in them are the particle effect.

Perhaps a noob question, but what map is that?

The velocity slows down to reach where I want it to. 512 units isn't very far from the player.

The map is gm_excess_island

I was asking for any alternatives. What I was doing was getting the creator's nick, and then adding it to a table which contained the entity's id. This makes errors with Nick() being a nil value for others though.

Door entity:
[lua]
function ENT:Think()
if self.SetNW == false then
if IsValid(self:GetOwner()) && self:GetOwner():Nick() != nil then
self.SetNW = true
if !self.OwnersByID[self:EntIndex()] then
self.OwnersByID[self:EntIndex()] = {}
end
//print(self:GetOwner():Nick())
if !table.HasValue(self.OwnersByID[self:EntIndex()], self:GetOwner():Nick()) then
table.insert(self.OwnersByID[self:EntIndex()], self:GetOwner():Nick())
end
end
end
end
net.Receive( "AddOwner", function( length, client )
ent = net.ReadEntity()
ply = net.ReadString()
table.insert(ent.OwnersByID[ent:EntIndex()], ply)
end )
[/lua]

Door Menu Code:
[lua]
local firep = vgui.Create( "DButton" )
firep:SetPos( padding+6, padding+26 )
firep:SetParent( ps )
firep:SetText( "Set Door Owners" )
firep:SetSize( w - 36, 128 )
firep.DoClick = function()
local menu = DermaMenu()
menu.found = false
for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
if not table.HasValue(trace.Entity.OwnersByID[trace.Entity:EntIndex()], v:Nick()) then
menu.found = true
menu:AddOption(v:Nick(), function() net.Start( "AddOwner" ) net.WriteEntity( trace.Entity ) net.WriteString( v:Nick() ) net.SendToServer() table.insert(trace.Entity.OwnersByID[trace.Entity:EntIndex()], v:Nick()) end)
end
end
if not menu.found then
menu:AddOption("There are no other players available.", function() end)
end
menu:Open()
end
[/lua]

I think I might just screw using Nick() completely.

Quick question. If I looped a colour table which was laid out like:

r	=	188
b	=	83
a	=	255
g	=	83

When Im looping through it with

for k,v in pairs(color) do

end

How would I make a value the colors in that table? I tried col = v.r,v.g,v.b and it says 'attempt to index a number value'.

All colors must be created with the color function.

for k, v in pairs(color) do
local newCol = Color(color.r,color.g,color.b,color.a)

Don't weld in ENT:PhysicsCollide. What you could do is freeze the entity and then create the weld in 1 second timer.

Thanks for replying.

I really want my SENT to snap onto any object immediately upon impact, so freezing and timers are not really an option for a flowy interaction. Any recommendations?

E: A 0 timer works. :P

Wouldn't you want it to actually hit "where you want it"? 512 units is 32 US Standard feet, while that bullet drops way too fast to travel that far straight. Thanks for telling me the map name :smile:
