Why does include never seem to work for me on a dedicated server, but fine in single play? It just spits out an error saying file does not exist.

Make sure you're AddCSLuaFile'ing all the client files

[QUOTE=Ott;46569911]Make sure you're AddCSLuaFile'ing all the client files[/QUOTE]

That did the trick. Cheers.

[Acecool]

Also, never test files using single-player / listen server because client is the server and server is the client meaning both realms execute on the client ( and things can be overwritten ). It isn't an accurate representation of the end-result on a real server.

Here's how to set up a local srcds: [url]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26074909/tutoring/server_srcds_steamcmd/setting_up_a_server_with_steamcmd.lua.html[/url]

Listen servers have always done the trick for me

Hi. I have a problem. I want to change weapon world model material:

function SWEP:Deploy()
self.Weapon:SetMaterial(self.Mater)
end

Yeah, It works, but when I use thirdperson, I can see that:

I didn't know how remove this bug, I try use SWEP:DrawWorldModel(), but this didn't help me.

If I recall correctly this is already fixed in the dev branch.

So, no methods to remove it?

In what hook should I render rendertargets? I tried PreRender which, as the wiki describes, is called before the next frame is being rendered, but when I apply the texture it's still 1 frame behind for some reason.

What are you rendering to the RT?

Alright so the metastruct Dump site is still up.
Can you guys read my dump and see what might be causing this crash?

Ok so I am having this really weird error and I have no idea how the hell it happens. So I am working on an editor of sorts and all the data is kept in a table. When the player loads it in I save the table to a temp variable for editing purposes but for some reason when I edit the temp variable it also edits the source table. How and why does this happen, because I don't make any references to the source table in the function bedsides to apply it to the temp variable.

If I'm not understanding you correctly this'll look pretty stupid.

variables in lua are kept by reference, use [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/table/Copy]table.Copy[/url]

Well I feel like an idot. Thanks for the help guys.

Hello, anyone knows how can I connect half-life 2 NPCs with garry's mod lua functions?

For example when I do this everything works fine.

entity2:SetName("ent2");
entity2:Fire("AddOutput", "OnFoundPlayer ent2:Kill::0:1", 0); --Entity kills itself when finds player.

And here is format <output name> <targetname>:<inputname>:<parameter>:<delay>:<max times to fire, -1 means infinite>.
When I'm trying to force NPC run lua function - it refuses to work.

entity2:SetName("ent2");
entity2:Fire("AddOutput", "OnFoundPlayer ent2:RunPassedCode:SendInfo(ACTIVATOR,CALLER,TRIGGER_PLAYER):0:-1", 0); --Entity should remove itself too but with lua function, but it doesn't work.

function SendInfo(ent, cal, psa)
	cal:Remove();
end;

Anyone knows how can I force HL2 NPCs run lua functions?

How can I alphabetically sort a table by its keys? table.sort doesn't return anything or seem to do anything

["a"] = {stuff=stuff}

[freakyy]

You should read what table.sort does then :P

Also search on the wiki, garry added some sorting functions himself.

SortByKey doesn't work with table values, I did find this on google though

			a = {}
			for n in pairs(HD.FormatTypes) do table.insert(a, n) end
			table.sort(a)
			for i,n in ipairs(a) do
				HD.ShapeOptions[id].Format:AddChoice(n) 
			end

There's no built-in way to do this without creating another entity first.

Put this in lua/autorun/info_output_hook.lua

DEFINE_BASECLASS( "base_point" )

ENT.Hooks = { }

local this, meta, hooks, fmt

hooks = { }

meta = FindMetaTable( "Entity" )

fmt = "%s __this,%s"

function meta:HookOutput( name, uid, func )
	if not IsValid( this ) then
		this = ents.Create( "info_output_hook" )
			this:SetName( "__this" )
		this:Spawn( )
	end

	hooks[ self ] = hooks[ ent ] or { }
	hooks[ self ][ name ] = hooks[ self ][ name ] or { }
	hooks[ self ][ name ][ uid ] = func

	self:Fire( "AddOutput", fmt:format( name, name ), 0 )
end

function meta:UnhookOutput( name, uid )
	if not IsValid( this ) then
		this = ents.Create( "info_output_hook" )
			this:SetName( "__this" )
		this:Spawn( )
	end

	hooks[ self ] = hooks[ ent ] or { }
	hooks[ self ][ name ] = hooks[ self ][ name ] or { }
	hooks[ self ][ name ][ uid ] = nil
end

function ENT:Initialize( )
	hook.Add( "EntityRemoved", self, self.EntityRemoved )
end

function ENT:AcceptInput( name, activator, caller, data )
	local k, v, ok, err
	
	if hooks[ caller ] then
		if hooks[ caller ][ name ] then
			for k, v in pairs( hooks[ caller ][ name ] ) do
				
				if IsValid( k ) then
					ok, err = pcall( v, k, caller, activator, data )
				else
					ok, err = pcall( v, caller, activator, data )
				end
				
				if not ok then
					ErrorNoHalt( "Moonhook failed: " .. name .. "::" .. k .. " - " .. err .. "\n" )
				end
			end
		end
	end
	
	return true
end

function ENT:EntityRemoved( e )
	if not IsValid( self ) then
		this = ents.Create( "info_output_hook" )
			this:SetName( "__this" )
		this:Spawn( )

		hook.Add( "EntityRemoved", this, this.EntityRemoved )
	end
end

And then do this:

entity2:HookOutput( "OnFoundPlayer", entity2, function( this, caller, activator, data ) this:Kill( ) end )

Not sure what this lua error means, I get it on the line where I try to file.Read a document because I need the JSON that it has.

It means you are trying to index a string with a non numerical key that doesn't exist in the string library.

The string is "save_testproject1_104953.txt" and it gets passed through my function without a problem. The issue seems to be my file.Read based on the lua error but I cannot figure out whats wrong with it.

I've written it like this (without concatenating a variable) and still gotten the same error...

-- This gives me errors
local txt = file.Read( "hud_designer/save_testproject1_104953.txt", "DATA" )

I dont know why it isn't working right here when it does everywhere else and I don't even understand how the Lua error plays into this (bad key to string index (number expected, got string)).
