Ok so basically I'm trying to send clientside messages to server

Like I've been trying LocalPlayer():SetNWBool("ect",true) and that doesn't work. Is there a similar command that's like that which works clientside?

Does anyone know how to check if the player is jumping?

ply:KeyPressed(KEY_SPACE) and ply:KeyPressed(IN_JUMP) doesn't seem to work

Avatar Images are not working very well for me. All I am asking it to do is create a avatar of a decent resolution and it gives me the pink and black checkerboard.. And yes, I have tried all sorts of wacky combinations of SetSize and SetPlayer but none seem to work like I wanted

function PANEL:Avatar(ply)
		self.Avatar = vgui.Create( "AvatarImage", self )
		self.Avatar:SetPos( 7, 7 )
		self.Avatar:SetSize(84, 84)
		self.Avatar:SetPlayer(ply, 64) 

The 64x64 image, low res and frankly quite ugly

Changing the SetPlayer(ply,64) to anything but 64.

Recommended to use a 2^ value, such as 32x32, 64x64, 128x128, 256x256 ect

I was going off the Gmod wikis reference numbers. Those still result in error

[Gammanetwork]

So basicly I just want a Derma window to open when I write a console command. I have no ide why this isn't working.

server side script :

util.AddNetworkString('applyMenu')

concommand.Add( "apply",function( ply )
		net.Start('applyMenu')
		net.Send(ply)
end )

Client side script:

If CLIENT then
net.Receive('applyMenu', function(ply)

	local Frame = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
	Frame:SetSize( ScrW() - 100, ScrH() - 150 )
	Frame:SetTitle( "" )
	Frame:SetVisible( true )
	Frame:SetDraggable( false )
	Frame:ShowCloseButton( false )
	Frame:MakePopup()
	Frame:Center()
	Frame.Paint = function()

		draw.RoundedBox( 0, 0, 0, Frame:GetWide()-0, Frame:GetTall()-0, Color( 50, 50, 50, 255 ) )
		draw.RoundedBox( 0, 2, 2, Frame:GetWide()-4, Frame:GetTall()-4, Color( 75, 75, 75, 255 ) )

	end


end)
end

They are both placed in the autorun folder.

ply:KeyPressed(KEY_SPACE) and ply:KeyPressed(IN_JUMP) doesn't seem to work[/QUOTE]I made a simple function for that which you can use:

--[[---------------------------------------------------------
    Determines if a player is jumping

function PLAYER:IsJumping( )
	
    return self:GetTable().m_bJumping

Hi, Jvs pointed me towards the [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/PlayerTick]PlayerTick[/url] hook for using lag-compensation on things. It works well but I want to cover my bases: does anyone know of any circumstances where that hook doesn't run for a connected player? I'm using it to simulate bullets and having them hang in mid-air would be embarrassing!

Your last resource it's creating a HTML panel, get the json user data, translate it and you get the avatar

Apparently SetNWString and GetNWString stopped working. While setting works, if I attempt to get the string on client ( after setting it server-side ) it returns nothing.

[lua]
local sId = Format( "%d%d%d%d", math.random( 0, 9 ), math.random( 0, 9 ), math.random( 0, 9 ), math.random( 0, 9 ) )

print( sId, iId )

if tIds[ sId ] then
while ( tIds[ sId ] ) do
local sId = Format( "%d%d%d%d", math.random( 0, 9 ), math.random( 0, 9 ), math.random( 0, 9 ), math.random( 0, 9 ) )
end
end

v:SetNWString( "ID", sId )
tIds[ iId ] = v
[/lua]

And my code for getting it:

[lua]
local idP = tr.Entity:GetNWString( "ID" )
surface.SetFont( "TargetID" )
local wM, hM = surface.GetTextSize( idP )
surface.SetTextPos( iX - wM - 5, iY )
//print( iX - wM - 5, iY )
surface.SetDrawColor( Color( 200, 25, 25, 200 ) )
surface.DrawText( idP )
[/lua]

[Rubat]

Maybe you should try more unique identifier than "ID"?

[editline]24th August 2014[/editline]

Also

if tIds[ sId ] then
				while ( tIds[ sId ] ) do
					local sId = Format( "%d%d%d%d", math.random( 0, 9 ), math.random( 0, 9 ), math.random( 0, 9 ), math.random( 0, 9 ) )
				end
			end

sId here will never override sId above the loop.

Could someone explain the anchor of DLabel?
I got following code:
[lua]
unterzeile= vgui.Create("DLabel", fenster)
unterzeile:SetPos(25, 80)
unterzeile:SetSize(900, 450)
unterzeile:SetVisible(true)
unterzeile:SetText(langertext)[/lua]

So following. i position it with 3 lines of text. When i now change the text to let us say, 7 lines, then it moves upwards.
So i think the anchor of SetPos is the Middle, right?
How can i change it to Top align, or does i need an extra function to recalculate the height of the text and setting the SetPos with the calculated offsets?

Give it a go at least and see how it works for you, it may not end up working how you like it but it's worth giving a try.

can somewanne explain what this does [lua]
"autobrakeSpeedGain" "1.1" // 10% speed gain while coasting, put on the brakes after that
"autobrakeSpeedFactor" "3.0" // Brake is this times the speed gain[/lua]
it's from a vehicle but my english skills aren't great enough to understands it's meaning.

Changing the SetPlayer(ply,64) to anything but 64.

I have not tested this code, but you may be able to do some matrix scaling tricks to get the avatar to scale up to any size.

[lua]local vecScale = Vector(0,0,0)

function PANEL:Init()
self.Avatar = vgui.Create( "Avatar", self )
end

function PANEL:SetPlayer( ply )
self.Avatar:SetPlayer(ply)
end

function PANEL:SetSize( w, h )
Panel.SetSize(self, w, h)

local scale

if w > 128 then
scale = w / 128
w = 128
h = 128
elseif w > 64 and w < 128 then
scale = w / 64
w = 64
h = 64
else
scale = 1
end

vecScale.x = scale
vecScale.y = scale

self.Avatar:SetSize(w,h)
end

function PANEL:Paint( w, h )
local mat = Matrix()
mat:SetScale(vecScale)
cam.PushModelMatrix(mat)
self._pushedMatrix = true
end

function PANEL:PaintOver()
if self._pushedMatrix then
cam.PopModelMatrix()
self._pushedMatrix = nil
end
end[/lua]

This will create a derma wrapper panel for the Avatar which will restrict itself to 64, 128, etc. The matrix will then do the scaling for any larger sizes.

Maybe it has something to do with the maximum achievable speed when going downhill without pressing W or S?

Essentially it is how much speed you gain, or lose upon releasing the throttle button.

So, SpeedGain 1.1 = 11% speed gain when you let go of W. ( It is best left at 0, otherwise it is like you quickly jabbed the accelerator )

As for SpeedFactor, it may be similar, but I haven't messed with that one, sorry.
