[QUOTE=Exho;45908815]Is it possible to create/remove Cubemaps and then save the map with them?[/QUOTE]

I don't think you can do it within GMod without it crashing. I believe you have to go to HL2/EP2 and do it there.

[QUOTE=Teddi Orange;45902980]Just a general question here, and I know how to work around it (and have done for years) but it's a tad annoying really so I figured I'd ask.

Why is it that InitialPlayerSpawn always seems to almost fail every time at applying properties to a player (eg Lock, player movement and so on) just after they load, whereas PlayerSpawn will be successful no matter what (again, talking just after they've loaded).
Is InitialPlayerSpawn more like a 'PrePlayerSpawn'?[/QUOTE]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think InitialPlayerSpawn runs while the player is still loading in, usually during Sending Client Info

You're right, but so does PlayerSpawn from what I can see.

[QUOTE=Teddi Orange;45912530]You're right, but so does PlayerSpawn from what I can see.[/QUOTE]
I agree. I had trouble setting stuff on the player durning both hooks. I now use the game event "player_spawn" and haven't had a problem.

Whats the function for getting a players speed?

[QUOTE=alex578344;45913622]Whats the function for getting a players speed?[/QUOTE]

GetVelocity?

[alex578344]

How would I check for a players speed constantly, could you give an quick example function please?

[BFG9000]

local function SpeedCheckUrPrivilege()
     for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
          if v:GetVelocity():Length() > 300 then
               v:Kill()
               v:ChatPrint("Stop sprinting u fcuking scrube u aint Sanic m8")
          end
     end
end

hook.Add("Think", "SlowTheFuckDownAsshole", SpeedCheckUrPrivilege)

[alex578344]

Thanks a lot

I updated it, it'll look better now

Hey I have a server which has been linked with my workshop/fastdl and I have noticed that I have way more .gma files in my addons folder compared to how many im using from workshop/fastdl. So i was wondering this may be due to me deleting a few of the addons ive 'tested' from the workshop then removed later, but do they stay in the addons folder after they've been removed from fastdl/workshop? I know this question could be fairly obvious, but I want to make sure, as I would rather not mess up the server files. The only reason I ask this is because i think this could speed up the loading time for users who join..

[Acecool]

Yes, they stay; you have to manually remove the ones you don't use ( which is why the ds_<wsid> naming is meh; I'd recommend copying the gma files from the client to the server so you'll know what they are, and if you want the client to download them do resource.AddWorkshop( <wsid> ); ) otherwise they'll continue to load on the server.

[Regzo]

Many thanks, I am never really clear with an explanation of my issues, but you helped me! ;D

[alex578344]

Why doesn't this work. I'm stuck on how to incorporate the math into the function that I have. Its just this section

 local speed = (math.floor(v:GetVelocty():Length()))
               v:ChatPrint("You are travelling at " .. speed .. "mph")

Shows us your whole code, not just the part that doesn't work.

[alex578344]

AddCSLuaFile("autorun/client/script_cl_init.lua")
AddCSLuaFile("autorun/script_shared.lua")

-- files in autorun are ran automatically by the game

function OnPlayerSpawn( ply ) --PlayerInitialSpawn has one argument
	print( "Initial Spawn is working")
end
hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "myaddon_PlayerInitialSpawn", whenplayerspawn ) -- in addons you use hook.Add, GM:* stuff is for GAMEMODES

-- There's no such hook as "InVehicle". There's a hook called "PlayerEnteredVehicle" though
local function PlayerEnterVehicle( ply , veh , role) -- Localize functions so they are not overridden by other addons.
end
hook.Add( "PlayerEnteredVehicle", "PlayerEnterVehicle", PlayerEnterVehicle )


local function checkPlayerSpeed()
     for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
          if v:GetVelocity():Length() > 200 then
               v:Kill()
			   local speed = (math.floor(v:GetVelocty():Length()))
               v:ChatPrint("You are travelling at " .. speed .. "mph")

It's not mph, it's Hammer Units per Tick as far as I can tell.

[alex578344]

Yeah I was sort of going to make up my own unit of speed. lol but anyway it still didn't output anything to chat

[Acecool]

An inch is 4 / 3 units; a foot is 16 units.

// 1 unit 									= 0.75 inches. 
// 4/3 units 								= 1 inch - from this we base our calculations.
CONVERSION_UNITS_TO_INCHES 					= 4 / 3; // 4/3 units per 1 inch, 16 units per foot
CONVERSION_UNITS_TO_FEET 					= CONVERSION_UNITS_TO_INCHES * 12; // 				== 16 in game units

CONVERSION_UNITS_TO_METERS 					= 0.0254 / CONVERSION_UNITS_TO_INCHES;
UNITS_PER_METER 							= 39.3701 * CONVERSION_UNITS_TO_INCHES;
-- print( 9.81 * CONVERSION_UNITS_TO_METERS, 9.81 * UNITS_PER_METER );

// Crap choices...
CONVERSION_UNITS_TO_METERS 					= CONVERSION_UNITS_TO_FEET * 0.3048; -- 1 foot = 0.3048 meters. 16 units = 1 foot...
CONVERSION_UNITS_TO_MILES 					= CONVERSION_UNITS_TO_FEET * 5280;
CONVERSION_UNITS_TO_KILOMETERS 				= CONVERSION_UNITS_TO_FEET * 3280.84;
CONVERSION_UNITS_TO_MPH						= CONVERSION_UNITS_TO_INCHES * 17.6;
CONVERSION_UNITS_TO_KPH						= CONVERSION_UNITS_TO_INCHES * 10.936133;

Use the Length( ) / CONVERSION_UNITS_TO_MPH to get MPH.

I was trying to delete a row of data from my sql db but it ends up deleting all rows that are remotely similar to it. I tried adding LIMIT 1 but this thing is throwing a syntax error:

code:

"DELETE FROM Market WHERE unique_id='"..id.."' AND item='"..item.."' AND category='"..category.."' AND amount='"..amount.."' AND price='"..price.."' LIMIT 1"

Also I kept reading about primary keys in other sql database websites , but the gmod wiki never clarifies much on it. Is that something you would recommend for this or should my method work just fine with a LIMIT of 1.

Code to create a table:

"CREATE TABLE Market ( unique_id varchar(255), name varchar(255), item varchar(255), category varchar(255), amount int, price int)"

[Khub]

Add a column named 'Key' or 'ID' (usually named like this), that's an UNSIGNED INT, PRIMARY KEY and AUTO_INCREMENT. That will give all your new created items a number which you can then use to delete exact rows you want.

You should always have a INT PK AI column in you table.
Always.

I've been looking all over: I'd like to know the console command to display the 'paths' nextbots are taking ie: Visualizing their MoveToPos. I've seen plenty of videos/screenshots of people having this turned on, but I can't seem to find the command?

EDIT: I mean, I want this information:

I have a weird glitch in my custom WIP gamemode where if a player pushes Y to talk with chat nothing happens. Instead your view angles are pushed up (so you are looking at the sky) and garrysmod refuses any keyboard input ;3; im lost here.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but NextBot uses Navigation meshes. So you should be able to draw all that stuff with these commands.

[url]https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Navigation_Mesh_Commands[/url]

[TripsLetash]

Yes, they do! The image shown is using a navigation mesh. There is a command that allows you to see the 'path' the nextbot is 'thinking'. The command is not listed on the dev page either :( (or I'm blind)

[Rubat]

The movetopos function has an option to draw those.
