I'm trying to loop a sound using [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/sound/PlayFile]sound.PlayFile[/url]

I have noblock set, and have enabled looping, but the sound does not loop smoothly (it's a police siren). I'd prefer to not use timers for this, so how could I get the loop to be smooth? It looped perfectly smooth in FL Studio, but in-game it's like wee oo wee oo (pause) wee oo wee oo.

Can we see the file? There is a chance the cues aren't implemented correctly or at odd marks. I'd recommend using GoldWave or Wavosaur for looping; I haven't tried FL Studio yet so I'm not sure if it creates correct cues.

Also, typically when having a sound that loops on an entity, we local _sound = CreateSound( _ent, _wav ); _sound:Play( ) / _sound:Stop( ); which could also be the issue.

Sorry, I should have clarified. The file itself isn't a loop, I just checked the little loop icon to make it repeat in FL Studio. I've never looped it through a program so I just decided to go with this. Would it be better to loop it with a program?

Yes. The built in looping probably just has it %play when the sound ends. Using sound-cues you can have the sound start playing normally, then when it hits the end cue it jumps back to the start cue so you can have a nice wind-up, then loop.

Wavosaur is free and sets up the cues automatically using CTRL + L or so.. GoldWave you need to set them up and name them manually.

[url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Player/ViewPunch]ply:ViewPunch[/url] / [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Player/SetViewPunchAngles]ply:SetViewPunchAngles[/url] are great for weapons. Counter-Strike: Source uses view punches for recoil. A nice way to use it is to just modify the pitch of your aim angles with the player's viewpunch ( [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Player/GetViewPunchAngles]ply:GetViewPunchAngles[/url] ) multiplied by some value like 2 in your bullet firing code.

[ROFLBURGER]

[QUOTE=Acecool;46609907]Entities have a sort of speed-limit in source. You can get around that by manually calculating distance, and setpos'ing the entity and performing checks along the path between the old position and the new position to see if it hit something.

I wouldn't use view-punch, mainly because it don't modify the direction the player is looking. I'd recommend modifying the GetEyeAngles which will change where the player is looking and where the bullet will follow...

For your dynamic cone, you, on top of the eye angles, could simply take the aim vector / angle and rotate around axis... Another option is to consider how to do it in a 2d game ( where you have the point x, y and you add a random value +/- on the x and y to make it change ) and apply it to 3d by modifying the aim angle pitch and yaw which is up/down left/right ever so slightly and then you may need to normalize it to pass it into the bullet system.

As for the bullets being offset in the viewpunch method, it is because the view isn't being moved most likely.

Just modify the angles / rotate around axis a very small amount before normalizing it and it should work.[/QUOTE]

I'll look into that speed hack thing but I rather fix my current issues.

My weapon base is based off of the Counter-Strike Source weapons. No bullshit like ironsights or firing restrictions while sprinting is in it so I'm not going to change it. It's a must.

For the rest of your post, I literally don't understand any of what you just said. I need help understanding this whole "Normal" and "Rotatearoundaxis" Buisness

[Acecool]

When you take an angle and normalize it, it becomes a vector again. It becomes length of 1 unit so that you can take it and multiply it by x units and end up at a new position.

So, if I want to get a position 5 feet in front of the player, I can take local _f = _p:GetEyeAngles( ):Forward( ); print( _p:LocalToWorld( _f * ( 16 * 5 ) ) ) and it will be at a position 5 feet in front of the player ( actually 5 feet in the direction the player is looking ).

Normalized vectors are incredibly useful.

As for rotate around axis, you can tell an angle to re-orient itself from a pivot point ( the axis ). Because you're passing in a normal vector generated from an angle, you can modify how much the bullet strays from the center line by reorienting the angle by a small amount.

Keeping this relevant... I've done a bit of searching and while I can add a guaranteed number of 0s before a digit, or x number of decimals, or x spaces to make up columns, I haven't found a way to grab the first arg using \\1 etc...

I may re-direct the function to parse it through the original, but keep a reference to the ... so \\x will reference _args[ x ] and upload it to my dev base if the feature doesn't exist...

Yeah, you set up 4 teams to be "friendly".

TEAM_NAZI, TEAM_NAZIMEDIC, TEAM_NAZISUPPLIER, TEAM_FUHRER are assigned to team 1. If you don't set up any other teams, or join any more to 1, then they'll all be able to damage each other except those 4 to each other IF they're valid variables / references...

I did away with trying the CreateTeams hook so it initializes when it needs it, no sooner and no later. If you add teams with auto-refresh, it'll add them too when they get damaged if the key doesn't exist. If you want it to re-generate the table each autorefresh so updates will occur in teams, change:

ANTI_TEAMKILL_TEAMS_TABLE = ANTI_TEAMKILL_TEAMS_TABLE || { };

to

ANTI_TEAMKILL_TEAMS_TABLE = { };

Show us a list of your teams and we can come up with something that will work...

Your TEAM_CITIZEN or TEAM_CIVILIAN ( whatever the names ), if there are more than 1 "team" per team then you need to give it an identifier...

say TEAM_CITIZEN = 2; TEAM_CIVILIAN = 2; TEAM_DISC_JOCKEY = 2; TEAM_TERRORIST = 3; TEAM_TERRORIST_MP = 3;

Etc... Since you only have 4 set up, those 4 shouldn't be able to damage each other as long as those ids are initialized...

I'm working on something for a friend that goes with my maps class / system to make adding spawns easier, and it'll use functions to add the teams instead of setting up a table ( may be more user friendly ) and it'll be able to determine whether or not the value is setup or not...

But, as said, show us a list of your teams and I'll help you set something up.

Hello, I have an issue with tables linking and I have no idea how to unlink them.

For example if I use this code:

table1.number = 5

local table2 = table1
table2.number = 3

print(table1.number)

I'll get the number 3 printed out.

this is basically settings table2 to the table object from table1 (NOT A COPY!) if you want a copy you can either manually go through all the indices and set it in a new table or use table.Copy(table1)

Ang = Ang + sent.AngOffset --angoffset is Angle(0,0,0) for the blocks.
