Anyone able to provide a guide or tips for creating inventories. I'm a little lost in terms of what needs to be done?

[QUOTE=Robotboy655;47361182]Is CS:S content actually mounted on the server?[/QUOTE]

Yep, it works if i use GAME. The reason i can't is because i want to detect where a model is coming from

[Vioxtar]

I'm looking to add forcelimits to every single constraint there is, including elastics, hydraulics, muscle, sliders, winches, whatever.

Where should I be looking? Will I need to recreate the constraint library or add my own modules to the game?

[QUOTE=Willox;47363627]What makes you think any of it will lag?[/QUOTE]

Idk I'm unfamiliar with lua

Idk there's a lot of damage perks (~20 of them) and I think the structure would be a bit intensive because you're asking to change a table and then returning it around 20 times

Yo, I don't want to be a pest but I'm still lost with what's wrong with this and I need someone smarter than me to bestow the smarts.

Dont worry wauterboi, I too am also having problems with rendertargets and creating materials from them. Also apparently drawing a poly with a texture results in the poly not being drawn? I'll run some more tests and get some more conclusive evidence at some point.

If I remove the color, the poly doesn't draw. I'm assuming that the material isn't being manipulated and "saved" correctly, and so it just uses the color.

If I do something like player.GetAll and it returns something like

Player [7] MPan

would this value change if a new user joined the server, or an old user left, to something like

Player [5] MPan

I really need to know, because with the thing I'm currently doing, I need the player type to remain the same so the function gets called on the right one, even if new players join or leave (note it won't matter if MPan leaves, it'll just prompt to choose a new player).

The number indicates the entity's entindex which won't change.

[MysteryPancake]

Alright, thanks. Also, I'm trying to find out what the command is to clean up all props for a user, the string 'all' doesn't work, and 'everything' doesn't work, and I can't find the cleanup table on the Gmod Wiki. This is what I have, and note that 'ply' is an actual player.

cleanup.CC_Cleanup( ply, nil, "all" )

Trying to mess around with the new Entity:GetSubMaterial but I've noticed there's no function on the wiki to get all the materials to see which I can change? Is there no GetSubMaterials in the same way there's bodygroups, etc.

I'm looking at the Fretta HUD and noticed it uses vgui.Create. Is it okay to make those sort of things in a HUDPaint hook/function?

[r0uge]

Is it possible to make rollermines take damage from bullets?

[a-cookie]

[QUOTE=r0uge;47371138]Is it possible to make rollermines take damage from bullets?[/QUOTE]

definitely, this is something I've done before.

function DamageRollers( target, dmginfo )

	local damage = dmginfo:GetDamage( )

	if target:IsNPC( ) then
	
		if target:GetClass( ) == "npc_rollermine" then
		
			if target:Health( ) - damage <= 0 then
			
				target:Fire( "InteractivePowerDown" )
				
				target:SetHealth( 0 )
				
			else
		
				target:SetHealth( target:Health( ) - damage )
			
			end

		end

	end

end

hook.Add( "EntityTakeDamage", "DamageRollermines", DamageRollers )

This is how I did it, you're free to use this.

I would say only of it's creating it only when it doesn't already exist. Can you show/link the code you are taking about?

[MysteryPancake]

What am I meant to write for the args? (Note I want to cleanup ALL props from a client)

cleanup.CC_Cleanup( ply, nil, args )

From the wiki:

cleanup.CC_Cleanup( Player pl, string command, table args )

[QUOTE]Args - First and only arg is the cleanup type.[/QUOTE]
Where's the cleanup args table?

[Ghost_Sailor]

Does Garry's Mod support unicode characters in the PUA properly? I can't seem to make them work.

That is called from RefreshHUD which includes a check for whether the HUD needs to updated or not so it's not being done every frame, only when needed.

Can someone tell me how to make a toggle key for sprint in a game mode?

In other words I don't want to always hold down left shift and would like a seperate key to toggle it always on or off.

Any help appreciated. Thanks

Net library

There's probably a console command, would be easier.

[QUOTE=zerf;47350031]Is there any way I can get the server's current gamemode on the client while addons are still loading? I'm attempting to prevent gamemode-specific addons from loading when the gamemode isn't correct, but I can't get the client part figured out.

[QUOTE=swadicalrag;47352933]

GetConVar('gamemode'):GetString()

or

engine.ActiveGamemode()

[/QUOTE]

GetConVar():GetString returns the client's selected gamemode at the time.
engine.ActiveGamemode() returns base at the time.[/QUOTE]

You are trying to run clientside functions on server.
