Try networking the table.

[_Divine]

Hey, I've been up all night trying to figure this out. I'm stumped.

local playerAvatar = vgui.Create("AvatarImage", self)
playerAvatar:SetSize(48, 48)
playerAvatar:SetPos( 10, self:GetTall() / 2 - playerAvatar:GetTall() / 2)
playerAvatar:SetPlayer( LocalPlayer(), 48 )

[video=youtube;G7RHzDVsIT4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7RHzDVsIT4[/video]

I cannnot seem find a way to make it transparent. I looked into [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Panel/PaintManual"]PANEL:PaintManual[/URL] but all the other examples I've seen so far were for masks + stencils, which I doubt would be helpful here. Is it possible to retrieve the equivalant of a DImage object from AvatarImage?

Thanks.

[QUOTE=Kamshak;47360854]Does anyone know how i can search for mounted game contents from serverside? Clientside it works but oddly, serverside (dedicated server) it does not.

CLIENTSIDE

1 = cs_gift.dx80.vtx

The ID argument seems to only work on client :/ Is there a solution to this?[/QUOTE]

Is CS:S content actually mounted on the server?

the onlything i could think off is to use GAME instead.

Can anyone help me with finding what exactly draws this in the normal Sandbox gamemode? I want to override it in my script.

It seems like entities such as the thruster, balloon, etc. never really draw the worldtip/halo in their script, but that there's an additional script somewhere that says if the player is looking at X entity, then draw worldtip/halo around that entity. Whar is it?

Is there a hook that is called every time a weapon is being shot?

If I'm not mistaken, is that what you want?

Note this will only work for SWEPs.

A bit new to the whole Gmod addon structure:

Is there a way to [I]override[/I] another gamemode weapon (Specifically a base weapon)?

I have [LUA]\addons\GrenadeFix\gamemodes\terrortown\entities\weapons\weapon_tttgrenadebase[/LUA] but it isn't registering as active nor are there any errors in console. Any ideas? Thank you

You can get the image from the profile, through XML i guess?
for example:
[url]http://steamcommunity.com/id/Freeman22/?xml=1&l=english[/url]
The variable would be avatarMedium, or avatarFull

The 3d voice effect with PlayerCanHearPlayersVoice - I am just wondering is it possible to change the source position of that?

I have speakers around the map and I want it to sound like a players voice is coming from those speakers.

Hey guys.
For example if i put:
ply.data = "data", will it be saved and be able to be used on other lua files? or will i need to include it as well?
Since when i try and use that data, it doesn't work.

Anyone know how I could play an animation for a grenade before throwing it in TTT? Using SWEP:PrimaryAttack() then playing the animations overrides SWEP:GetGrenadeName() which will throw the grenade.

Also regarding this, is there a way to specify the range for when the drop off should take effect?

function ulx.gang(ply)

local gang = ulx.command( CATEGORY_NAME, "ulx gang", ulx.gang, "!ganggang" )

How to make it use 2 commands ?
like !ganggang and !g

Question about lua structure and files.

would files in lua/autorun/server/FOLDERNAME still load?

and

function ScaleClassDamage( ply, hitgroup, dmginfo )

local DamageScale = 1

PERK_FrontDoor(ply,attacker,dmginfo)
PERK_ArmorDependant(ply,attacker,dmginfo)

dmginfo:ScaleDamage(DamageScale)

end

hook.Add("ScalePlayerDamage","Scale Class Damage",ScaleClassDamage)

function PERK_FrontDoor(ply,attacker,dmginfo)
	if TableSearcher(ply.ClassNumber,"FrontDoor") == true then
		ang1 = ply:GetAngles().y
		ang2 = attacker:GetAngles().y
		damageblock = math.random(10,30)
		if ang1 - ang2 > 45 and ang1 - ang2 < -45 then
			ply:EmitSound("weapons/fx/rics/ric"..math.random(1,5)..".wav",50,100)
			attacker:EmitSound("weapons/fx/rics/ric"..math.random(1,5)..".wav",50,100)
			dmginfo:SubtractDamage(damageblock)	
		end
	end
end

function PERK_ArmorDependant(ply,attacker,dmginfo)
	if TableSearcher(ply.ClassNumber,"ArmorDependant") == true then
		if ply:Armor() - HiddenScale*dmginfo:GetBaseDamage()*1 > 0 then
			DamageScale = 0
			ply:SetArmor(ply:Armor() - dmginfo:GetBaseDamage()*2)
		else
			DamageScale = 10
		end
	end
end

Would is still subtract damage and scale the damage or would I have to return it when the PERK_ functions are called?

[Willox]

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;47363484]would files in lua/autorun/server/FOLDERNAME still load?[/QUOTE]

Not if you don't include them. For similar files in lua/autorun/client/FOLDERNAME you must also AddCSLuaFile them.

[ROFLBURGER]

Another question regarding lag.

I think I would still have to return the DamageScale in PERK_ArmorDependant but im not 100% sure.

What would be the least laggiest way to do it?

I'm thinking of doing something like this

function ScaleClassDamage( ply, hitgroup, dmginfo )

local DamageData = {}

  DamageData["ply"] = ply
  DamageData["attacker"] = dmginfo:GetAttacker()
  DamageData["Damage"] = dmginfo:GetDamage()

  Damagedata = PERK_ArmorDependant(DamageData)


end


function PERK_ArmorDependant(DamageData)
	if TableSearcher(ply.ClassNumber,"ArmorDependant") == true then
		if ply:Armor() - HiddenScale*dmginfo:GetBaseDamage()*1 > 0 then
			DamageData["Damage"] = 0
			ply:SetArmor(ply:Armor() - dmginfo:GetBaseDamage()*2)
		else
			DamageData["Damage"] = DamageData["Damage"] * 10
		end
	end

        Return DamageData

end

How laggy would this method be?

What makes you think any of it will lag?

How would I set an entity to play a LOOPED animation? I made a custom model to use as an entity, which works, but the animation will not loop, even though I have

$sequence spin "anims/spin.smd" {
	loop fps 3.0
}

In the QC. In the Lua, I have

	local sequence = self:LookupSequence( "spin" )
	self:SetSequence( sequence )
	self:SetPlaybackRate( 1.0 )
	self.AutomaticFrameAdvance = true

but the sequence stops after playing only one time. What am I meant to do to get a continuously looping sequence?

[editline]20th March 2015[/editline]

By the way, it's my first time even attempting to do an animation, so I'm sure if the code isn't the problem, it'll be the animation itself.

[editline]20th March 2015[/editline]

It seems to loop okay in HLMV.

Whats the equation to move between 2 vectors? I don't like using LerpVector as it gets really slow when it nears the final point

Edit: Nevermind, I'll just remove it when its closer than 10 units

[QUOTE=Exho;47364864]Whats the equation to move between 2 vectors? I don't like using LerpVector as it gets really slow when it nears the final point[/QUOTE]

It sounds like you're using LerpVector non-linearly. Show your code.
