Problems That Don't Need Their Own Thread v2.0

[Bo98]

First of all, calm the fuck down.

Second, you have jobs with customChecks that call table.HasValue on "vipGroups" and "adminGroups" tables but these do not exist. Define them. For example,

[lua]local vipGroups = {"vip", "vip+"}[/lua]

they exist within config.lua, they're globals.

Jesus fucking christ, you were right.
I forgot to save config.lua when I made those tables

thank you I owe you a cock sucking.

[QUOTE=Author.;47185240]Üntested, but something like this should work;

[lua]local alpha = 255
local speed = 200

hook.Add("HUDPaint", "DrawItemsGlow", function()
local ply = LocalPlayer()
local ent = ply:GetEyeTrace().Entity
if(ply:GetEyeTrace()) and ent:GetClass() == "item" and ent:GetPos():Distance(ply:GetPos()) < 275 and (ply:Alive()) then
if (alpha > 255) then
alpha = math.Approach( alpha, 255, speed * FrameTime() )
end

surface.SetFont("ChatFont")
surface.SetTextColor(231, 76, 60, alpha)
surface.SetTextPos(ply:GetEyeTrace().HitPos:ToScreen().x-15,ply:GetEyeTrace().HitPos:ToScreen().y)
surface.DrawText("Item")
elseif color.a > 0 then
alpha = math.Approach( alpha, 0, speed * FrameTime() )
end
end)[/lua]

Replace color.a with alpha, cant edit the post :<[/QUOTE]

doesnt work sadly :X

[QUOTE=bobbleheadbob;47185777]You can pack content into a map using a program called "PackRat" I think. The content is saved directly to the map and doesn't have to be downloaded.[/QUOTE]

So its really that simple? I can build an entire map complete with terrorist button configurations and player model skins and props and textures and what not, and it will all just be downloaded when somebody decides to play the map? No "ERROR's" or anything?

I think so. Only way to know is to try.

Look at the documentation for packrat and see what it supports.

I keep getting a table index is nil when all I want to do is fill a table with weapons and if they're unlocked or not. This is incredibly confusing for me

Here is the code

GM.WeaponLocks = {}
function GM:UpdateWeaponUnlockes()
	for i, tab in pairs(GAMEMODE.Items) do
		if not self.WeaponLocks[tab.SWEP] == self:IsWeaponUnlocked(tab.SWEP) then
			self.WeaponLocks[tab.SWEP] = self:IsWeaponUnlocked(tab.SWEP)
		end
	end
	
	net.Start("zs_weaponlocks")
		net.WriteTable(self.WeaponLocks)
	net.Broadcast()

Is there a way to reload a derma frame and all of its contents without forcing it closed and reopening it?
I feel that Removing the menu and calling it again is really shit.

(I have a themes system which has diff text color, but when the text color changes it doesn't until I reopen the frame.)

[tzahush]

Hello.
I'm trying to figure out a way that I'll be able to check if a vector is in between four other vectors.
What I mean is that basically I want to create a square out of 4 vectors, and the Check if a player is currently found in that square.
I'm unsure how to make the check it self

[Revenge282]

If it's always a rectangle, then use this [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Vector/WithinAABox]Vector:WithinAABox[/url]
else, you'll have to get creative with vector math. It's basically just a bunch of "if x < y && x > z then" checks.

[QUOTE=Garr;47187443]I made this a swep and it crashes the game if i try to shoot an npc. It just crashes.
[/QUOTE]

I'd recommend commenting out all code in the functions, then trying it.. If it doesn't crash, change some code, respawn the weapon ( the new code takes effect on auto-refresh when you respawn the weapon ) and try again. Repeat until you uncomment a line that causes the crash.

Create a table inside your derma that can be accessed to update any existing elements. Example, for a scoreboard you'd create a few hooks in Panel:Init such as player_connect game-event, or player_disconnect game-event... You can simply check the list to see if the element exists, if it does remove ( on disconnect ), if not, add ( on connect )... On PlayerDeath ( would need to be networked ) have a net-receiver handle it.

There are so many different ways to manage vguis without needing to remove all rows and reload, or clear everything and reload, etc.... You CAN use hooks, you CAN use net-messages; just structure the content / panels so you know how to access them when the time comes..

You can create a CUBE / RECT using 2 vectors... Opposite corners, one on bottom, one on top...

DHTMLControls is broken because of [url]https://github.com/Facepunch/garrysmod-issues/issues/189[/url]

I wrote a workaround that's in DarkRP: [url]https://github.com/FPtje/DarkRP/blob/master/gamemode/modules/f1menu/cl_htmlcontrols.lua[/url]. The stop button still doesn't work but that's impossible to work around.

[Avoidy]

Hello there,
I am trying to wrap my head around the Player Classes, I got almost everything working expect the VM hands. I also already had a look at the [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Using_Viewmodel_Hands"]wiki article[/URL], but I did not get it to work.

Here is my code for the class:
[lua]
DEFINE_BASECLASS( "player_default" )

local PLAYER = {}

PLAYER.DisplayName = "Soldier"
PLAYER.WalkSpeed = 200
PLAYER.RunSpeed = 280
PLAYER.CanUseFlashlight = false
PLAYER.AvoidPlayers = false
PLAYER.TeammateNoCollide = false
PLAYER.MaxHealth = 125
PLAYER.StartHealth = 125
PLAYER.UseVMHands = true

function PLAYER:Loadout()
self.Player:RemoveAllAmmo()
self.Player:StripWeapons()
self.Player:GiveAmmo( 256, "357", true )
self.Player:GiveAmmo( 64, "Buckshot", true )
self.Player:Give( "weapon_crowbar" )
self.Player:Give( "weapon_357" )
self.Player:Give( "weapon_shotgun" )
self.Player:Give( "weapon_frag" )
end

player_manager.RegisterClass( "player_soldier", PLAYER, "player_default" )
[/lua]

My PlayerSpawn:
[lua]
function GM:PlayerSpawn(ply)
local class = player_manager.GetPlayerClass( ply )
if ( class ) then
MsgN(class)
self.BaseClass:PlayerSpawn( ply )
player_manager.OnPlayerSpawn( ply )
ply:SetupHands()
end

--SetPos
end
[/lua]

[lua]
function GM:PlayerSetModel( ply )
ply:SetModel( "models/captainbigbutt/vocaloid/miku_classic.mdl" ) -- yes this model has valid hands (tested in sandbox)
end
[/lua]

Yet, I always get the kleiner hands, what am I doing wrong or what exactly am I missing here?

Oh, also I am spawning via a concommand like so:
[lua]
concommand.Add("soldier", function(ply,com,args)
ply:SetTeam(TEAM_PLAYER)
player_manager.SetPlayerClass(ply, "player_soldier")
ply:Spawn()
end)
[/lua]

[ExtReMLapin]

I'm trying to make a udp server, so it can receive request from Love2D ( which is a 2d engine in lua, with udp support)

(I'm using LuaSocket)

For the moment, i'm just trying to make communicate scrds with ... srcds, using

[lua]
local ip, port = "127.0.0.1", 42 -- opened with ufw
local udp = socket.udp()
hook.Add("Think", "TestUDP", function () udp:sendto("anything", ip, port)end)
[/lua]

At this point i have no idea if it's working. Am i doing this right ?

Then i just want to check if it's working by using
[lua]
udp:receive()
[/lua]

The problem is .... how should i use it ????

Should i make something like
[lua]
coroutine.create(function () while true do print(udp:receive()) end end)
[/lua]

(not really working)

I never worked with udp/tcp, i have no idea how to make this work

I never worked with coroutines

[Willox]

Any 3rd party module using the ILuaBase headers will crash if called in to from a coroutine. Your coroutine wouldn't work anyway because you're not yielding at any point.
