[QUOTE=_FR_Starfox64;46489048]Was wondering if what I was doing was the right way to override a weapon's function
[lua]
local SWEP = {}

function SWEP:LolFunction()
end

weapons.Register(SWEP, "fas2_base")
[/lua]
[/QUOTE]

From the source code of weapons.Register it looks like it will clear entire SWEP table. This should do:
[lua]
local weap = weapons.GetStored("fas2_base")

function weap:LolFunction()
end

weapons.Register(weap, "fas2_base") -- Optional. But will reload already spawned weapons of this class

How can I have like the last 4-6 messages in chat be posted to something clientside without PlayerSay (unless I'm missing something and PlayerSay is shared)

Where is the spray cooldown timer controlled? I can't find it anywhere. Alternatively can I change it from my server.cfg?

OnPlayerChat works for regular chat
ChatText works for when the server runs ply:ChatPrint()

I've read before that ChatText doesn't run for player chat. And even if it works, [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/OnPlayerChat"]OnPlayerChat[/URL] still seems to be better for this case.

Is there a way to check if a vehicle crosses over a certain vector or "line"?

if vehicle_pos * line_normal > line_pos * line_normal then

Untested, not sure if my math is right

You'd need to have a sort of round controller ( currently timers aren't stable but timers would make a valid option too ).

basically each time a timer runs you'd set up the next one; using a round system would give more flexibility though.

[Kogitsune]

if util.IntersectRayWithOBB( point, vector_up, vehiclepos, vehicleangle, vehicle:OBBMins( ), vehicle:OBBMaxs( ) ) then

Perhaps? [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/util/IntersectRayWithOBB]IntersectRayWithOBB[/url] returns nil / false for the hitpos if it doesn't hit.

How to get a spawned entity to freeze? Mine never seem to freeze!

Here's what I do to entities that need to remain in one location and never move; disable motion on the physics object and weld it to the world.

// Prevent object from moving, and weld object to world - prevents invisible props from moving.
			if( ent:IsValid( ) && ent:GetPhysicsObject( ):IsValid( ) ) then
				ent:GetPhysicsObject( ):EnableMotion( false );
				constraint.Weld( ent, game.GetWorld( ) );
			end

you need to get the physics object of the entity - [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Entity/GetPhysicsObject"]Entity:GetPhysicsObject( )[/URL] and make sure it's not nil, then use - [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/PhysObj/EnableMotion"]PhysObj:EnableMotion( boolean enable )[/URL] and that'll freeze the physics of the object.

hope that helps.

These are weapons, so I don't think the weld option would be right, unless the weld is undone when the weapon is picked up.
I actually tried to weld it, but they won't freeze before they weld so you can still move them... This is annoying. Is there a way to create physobj or is it just there?
[lua]
local gun = ents.Create("mygun")
gun:SetPos( Vector(-1828.031250, 1343.940552, 200.031250) )
gun:Spawn()
local phys = gun:GetPhysicsObject( )
if phys then
phys:EnableMotion( false )
end
[/lua]
Still no luck with that code, so what do i do if the physobject IS nil?

[Scarface3353]

[QUOTE=zeaga;46492412]That's a really broad question. What exactly do you need help with?[/QUOTE]

What i need right now is a flood-like timed system (you know, build time, get on your boat/base time, fight/survive time, round end time.), but instead of FFA, it's team based, with 1 team frozen while the other builds.

How do I draw a textured Polygon?

[BlaBlaAccount]

Trying to make this gun not remove itself if the player has pressed the drop weapon key (which executes the command to drop the gun) Otherwise if the player dies and it automatically drops from his corpse then I want it to be removed. But I'm having trouble getting it to work.

function SWEP:OnDrop()
if self.Owner:RunConsoleCommand("ttt_dropweapon") then return end
self:Remove()
end

Currently I don't even spawn with it. I have to give myself the weapon through console.

How to reskin Derma Panels, like scrollbar(btndown,btnup,btngrip) or Slider(Slider knobb and etc.), without usage skins?

[Acecool]

[QUOTE=Author.;46500808]How do I draw a textured Polygon?[/QUOTE]

Set the u and v segments of each part of the polygon.

Example, rectangle that will take a texture:

//
// Makes a rectangle Poly. Changed format from start x, end x, start y, end y into easier x, y, w, h. - Josh 'Acecool' Moser
//
function poly:MakeRect( _x, _y, _w, _h, _textureWidth, _textureHeight )
	// U is how many times the texture should repeat along the X
	local _u = ( ( ( _x + _w ) - _x ) / ( _textureWidth || 1 ) );

	// V is how many times the texture should repeat along the Y
	local _v = ( ( ( _y + _h ) - _y ) / ( _textureHeight || 1 ) );

	// The creation of the Poly.
	local _poly = {
		{ x = _x, 			y = _y, 			u = 0,		v = 0 },	// Top Left
		{ x = ( _x + _w ), 	y = _y, 			u = _u, 	v = 0 },	// Top Right
		{ x = ( _x + _w ), 	y = ( _y + _h ),	u = _u, 	v = _v },	// Bottom Right
		{ x = _x, 			y = ( _y + _h ), 	u = 0, 		v = _v },	// Bottom Left
	};

	return _poly;
end


//
// Creates a circle poly which accepts a texture - Josh 'Acecool' Moser
//
function poly:MakeCircle( _x, _y, _r, _points, _textureScale )
	// U is how many times the texture should repeat along the X
	local _u = ( _x + _r * 1 ) - _x;
	local _u = 1;

	// V is how many times the texture should repeat along the Y
	local _v = ( _y + _r * 1 ) - _y;

	//
	local _textureScale = _textureScale || 0.099;
	local _slices = ( 2 * math.pi ) / _points;
	local _poly = { };
	for i = 0, _points - 1 do
		local _angle = ( _slices * i ) % _points;
		local x = _x + _r * math.cos( _angle );
		local y = _y + _r * math.sin( _angle );

		// i / _points
		// i * _angle / _points
		table.insert( _poly, { x = x; y = y; u = _u; v = ( ( i * _angle / _points ) * _textureScale ) } );
	end

	return _poly;
end

These are going to be added to my dev base in the next update ( probably after networking because I'm working on a caching system for polys so they can be called how-ever )...

Hopefully this helps a bit.

Overwrite the Paint function and draw them manually. Using skins is the easiest way because there are already functions pre-defined which reads the textures from a bitmap, plus coloring for some...

So if the player dies, you want the weapons removed? Use PlayerDeath hook and use _victim:GetWeapons( ) and SafeRemoveEntity all in the table for that case.

If a player drops the weapon, then the weapon won't be removed, or do you want the weapon removed?

Trying to put some derma ontop of render.RenderView, but it just goes behind it. Any methods?

[NiandraLades]

So I'm using Swep Construction Kit and basically have a crowbar as a base, then a meat-hook model attached. How would I make it so the crowbar world/view model are invisible while keeping the meat-hook one? I looked on the wiki to hide view/world model but ended up doing both

You could scale the crowbar model down, so that it can't be seen.

[NiandraLades]

Could I do that without messing around with the actual mdl file?

Sorry, I thought you could do that. Never mind what I said above, just tested it and what I suggested isn't possible.
