Is it possible to get a players name from a SteamID if they aren't connected to the server?

Edit: Or even if they are connected actually

If they're connected loop over all players, else you'll have to store the steamIDs yourself or use the [url=https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_Web_API#GetPlayerSummaries_.28v0002.29]steam api[/url]

How to use a custom HUD on a fretta gamemode? and, how to check for the current gamemode?

[Exho]

Copy cl_hud.lua from the fretta base and put it in your gamemode. Make sure to addCslua and include it

How would I go about drawing shapes over players onto a render.RenderView? I can't seem to figure out how to take the position of the player from the RenderView and put it on the client's screen

How can I update a DFrame every frame/0.04 sec? I'm using a progress bar (draw.RoundedBox) inside my mainframe.Paint = function(). I'll need this to animate the frame and update the progress bar

I suck at math so..
I've got a grid:

[lua]
x = max x size
y = max y size
cube = (x*0.0355) * (y*0.046)
[/lua]
Basically this, I need to find out how many cubes fit in the grid.
I can count them all but I am not sure if the same number of cubes stay on another resolution

28.1690140845 * 21.7391304348 cubes
why are you using such weird numbers?

[arcaneex]

Cubes and grid size depends on resolution.
what do you mean by 28.1690140845 * 21.7391304348 cubes

x * 0.0355 is the same as x/28.1690140845, so there are can be 28.1690140845 cubes on that row
and I meant why are you using 0.0355 and 0.046

local w = 500 -- Container size

local a = 64 -- One icon size

local wa = math.floor( w / a ) -- How many icons will be able to fit in one row
local hb = math.floor( h / b ) -- How many icons will fit in one column

Does anyone know how to set the color on a ClientsideModel? entity:SetColor() simply does nothing, maybe I'm calling it in the wrong place? here's the code.

[lua]
self.ExtraParts = {
["Hair"] = {bone = "headgear", isattachment = true, Pos = Vector(0,0,0), Ang = Angle(0,0,0), model = "models/fallout/player/hair/haircurly.mdl", color = Color(255,0,0,255)}
} -- this table is in a different place in the code, but this is just for reference.

for _, part in pairs(self.ExtraParts) do
if not part.entity then
part.entity = ClientsideModel(part.model, RENDERGROUP_TRANSLUCENT)
part.entity:SetNoDraw(true)
end
if part.entity then
local attachment
local partpos
if part.isattachment then
attachment = self.Entity:LookupAttachment(part.bone)
partpos = self.Entity:GetAttachment(attachment)
else
attachment = self.Entity:LookupBone(part.bone)
partpos = self.Entity:GetBonePosition(attachment)
end
part.entity:SetRenderOrigin(partpos.Pos)
part.entity:SetRenderAngles(partpos.Ang)
part.entity:DrawModel()
part.entity:SetColor(Color(255,0,0,255))
end
end

Is there a way to disable scrolling through weapons for all players?

[QUOTE=SwikCoder;46656502]Is there a way to disable scrolling through weapons for all players?[/QUOTE]

You could hide the weapon selector using HUDShouldDraw.

[/QUOTE]

You are not setting the size anywhere, nor do you set the parent. Also your code won't even compile because you do Facepunch:GetSize() instead of fp:GetSize()

Try setting the color BEFORE drawing the model.

[arcaneex]

About not compiling its just an example code I wrote
How do I get its size then without GetSize()?

[QUOTE=Robotboy655;46656621]
Try setting the color BEFORE drawing the model.[/QUOTE]
thanks, but that didn't make a difference, I tried setting it before drawing the model, after, when it's first created, ect. It doesn't seem to make a difference.

I tried printing the table from GetColor() after drawing the model, and it does print the values I set, it's just not displaying a different color.
Color :
r = 255
b = 0
a = 255
g = 0

This is in a derma menu by the way, I'm making a new panel based on DModelPanel so that it supports multiple ClientsideModels in it.

Is there a way to make a player switch there weapon to the next one in there inventory? I've been trying to find a way to do this, but have not been successful. If someone can help it would be very appreciated.

Did you bother to open the link? Did you bother to read what the hook does?
Do you know how to code?

I didn't think about putting this question here first but here it is.

I'm trying to write a script to stop prop pushing but it isn't working. I think the shouldcollide hook is broken. It seems to be getting run even when there's no collision. Any alternative ideas?

[lua]
hook.Add("PhysgunPickup", "NoPropPush", function(ply, ent)
ent.IsPhysgunned = true
ent:SetCustomCollisionCheck(true)
end)

hook.Add("PhysgunDrop", "NoPropPush", function(ply, ent)
ent.IsPhysgunned = nil
ent:SetCustomCollisionCheck(false)
end)

local function stopPropPush(prop, attacked)
local owner = prop:CPPIGetOwner()
local victim
if attacked:IsPlayer() then victim = attacked else victim = attacked:CPPIGetOwner() end

if IsValid(owner) and IsValid(victim) and owner~=victim then
timer.Simple(0,function()
if prop:IsValid() then
local physobj = prop:GetPhysicsObject()
if physobj:IsValid() then
owner:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTCENTER, "Your prop froze because it hit someone's stuff")
physobj:EnableMotion(false)
end
end
end)
end
end

hook.Add("ShouldCollide","DontPropPush", function(ent1, ent2)
if ent1.IsPhysgunned then
stopPropPush(ent1, ent2)
end
if ent2.IsPhysgunned then
stopPropPush(ent2, ent1)
end
end)

Use [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Player/GetWeapons[/url] to get a list of the player's weapons.
Use [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Player/GetActiveWeapon[/url] to find in the list where the current weapon is
Use [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Player/SetActiveWeapon[/url] to equip the next weapon in the list

I'm making a tool that involves selecting a bunch of entities and I want them to have halos with the color based on a NetworkInt on them.

What would be the best way to handle this? Looping through every entity, checking if GetNWInt doesn't return the fallback and applying the color based on the int? Like this:
[lua]CLASSTOCOLOR = {}
CLASSTOCOLOR[0] = Color(255,255,255,255)
CLASSTOCOLOR[1] = Color(255,0,0,255)
CLASSTOCOLOR[2] = Color(0,255,0,255)
CLASSTOCOLOR[3] = Color(0,0,255,255)
CLASSTOCOLOR[4] = Color(0,255,255,255)

hook.Add( "PreDrawHalos", "AddHalos", function()
for _, ent in pairs( ents.GetAll( ) ) do
if ent:GetNWInt( "EntityType", -1 ) > 0 then
halo.Add( {ent}, CLASSTOCOLOR[ent:GetNWInt("EntityType")], 5, 5, 2 )
end
end
end[/lua]
I feel like that is a awful way to do it

Entity take damage crashes game

function ENT:OnTakeDamage( dmginfo )

	-- React physically when shot/getting blown
	self:TakePhysicsDamage( dmginfo )
	self:TakeDamageInfo( dmginfo )
		
end

self:TakeDamageInfo( dmginfo )

is what causes the crash...is this being used incorrectly?

Trying to get the entity to take damage as a player would but it does not....

[HighVoltage]

I should add that this is for a developer tool that would only be used on singleplayer and not that often
