Problems That Don't Need Their Own Thread v2.0

[Willox]

The -console parameter won't work because the main menu's html panel loads in-front of it.

[Nexzer]

can anyone tell me why this dosent print anything even though the table is filled with entities

local foundents = ents.FindInSphere( tr.HitPos, 500 ) 
for k,v in pairs(foundents) do			
	if v.IsValid() then
		print(v)
	end
end

[/QUOTE]

You're calling v.IsValid with no parameters when it expects the first parameter to be the entity. Both lines of code below are ways of achieving this.

v.IsValid(v)
v:IsValid()

im really stupid - i have a bunch of entities (money printers which should be dropped to world, guns which should be given to the player/maybe dropped) in my gamemode, how do i hook up my shop menu to spawn these items? i've looked into other gamemodes and can't figure it out, is there some really simple "spawn entity from gamemode here" function im missing

Client or serverside?

[skullorz]

[QUOTE=Lord of Boxes;46708403]So, I typed "-dxlevel 9" into the launch options for the game (Since I was experincing invisble playermodels, specifically after entering Scars) , but when I entered the game after this, the game went into the most downscaled resolution and crashed

naturally, I went back to the properties, and got rid of that textline, and everything went back to normal, exept for the fact that I have to hold down the "`" key to get to the dev console, and while playing, pressing it simply crashes the game.

do any of you guys know how to get rid of this problem Its making Gmod unplayable[/QUOTE]

Pretty sure it's 90, not 9.

[Blasteh]

[QUOTE=Willox;46711279]Client or serverside?[/QUOTE]

This is what it returns on the server..

The round timer on the clients are broken too, so guessing it's both? :s

edit: fixed itself after map change

[SeriousLion]

[lua]Panel: [name:Panel][class:Panel][660,342,50,50]
why does this returns on panel:OnMousePressed(mc)[/lua]
print(mc)?? thx in advanced

[PortalGod]

you're doing panel.OnMousePressed, not panel:OnMousePressed
if you use a period instead of a colon when declaring functions, any time it gets called with a colon instead of a period the first argument is the object the function belongs to

[SeriousLion]

thx

Is there a hook for when the ESC menu is present?

I'm trying to see if making a custom ESC menu is possible.

[PortalGod]

not a hook, but there's [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/gui/IsGameUIVisible]this[/url]

I made a [url=http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1152853]library[/url] for that once, before we had some of the functions we do now
the way it worked was by setting a var to false in HUDPaint, which doesn't get called if the main menu is open, and then setting it to true in PostRenderVGUI, which gets called whether the main menu is open or not
if that var was ever true after HUDPaint would be called, I would close the default menu and toggle my lua menu

Another question, am I able to make the width of a "DHorizontalScroller" the same width of a panel, I don't know if I'm phrasing it correctly, but I'd like these buttons to span across the whole DFrame.

How can I rotate a textured rect or the texture on it?

I'm registering my own DButton VGUI element and for some reason can't get polygons nor my rectangles to draw properly. Any ideas or suggestions?

[lua]
function _Panel:Paint(w, h)
local x, y = self:GetPos();

if !self.Edges then

self.x_max, self.y_max = self:GetWide(), self:GetTall();

print(x, y, self.x_max, self.y_max);

self.Edges = {
{x = x, y = y},
{x = x+(self.x_max-(self.x_max/8)), y = y, },
{x = x+self.x_max, y = y+(self.y_max/4)},
{x = x+self.x_max, y = y+self.y_max},
{x = x, y = y+self.y_max}
};

self.NumFade = 25;

return false;
end

surface.DisableClipping( true );

surface.SetDrawColor( 255, 0, 0, 255 );
draw.NoTexture();
surface.DrawPoly(self.Edges);

for i = 1, self.NumFade do
surface.SetDrawColor( 255, 0, 0, 255-(i*(255/self.NumFade)) );
surface.DrawRect( (x-(i*ScreenScale(5))), y, ScreenScale(5), self.y_max );
end

return true;
end
[/lua]

It was drawing like this previously:

im sure i tried that but it just didn't work, maybe i'm just more retarded than i though but ill try it again

edit: i think the part im having trouble with is networking (assuming thats what i'm meant to do) from the client's menu to the server to spawn the ent, is there like a nice tutorial somewhere for making a simple shop system or something?

[Seris]

Does anybody know of a good way to fix hitboxes for TTT? players are lag compensated but i keep getting people complaining of being unable to headshot people, and the only way i can reliably headshot people is by shooting them in the neck, otherwise the player either takes the normal damage or takes no damage at all

[NiandraLades]

So I was putting together a little help menu

[img]http://i.imgur.com/mn32ZmD.png[/img]

The idea is to have buttons over that white DPanel on the left, which when pressed change that help text to something else, i.e update page/a list of challenges/etc stuff like that

I know I could easily do text:SetText("new text here") when you click the DButton, which was my original intention, but is that really the method people use for doing these sort of menus or is there another way I could go about this?

I'm a non-developer trying to make a gamemode with developers who don't do anything; where can I find resources to help me with scraping together working code for Gmod?

[MadkillerMax]

I have a quick question, does anyone have a clue when http requests are queued, sent, and received? A quick example is with MySQLOO uses the Think hook to process requests, requiring players to be available.
