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

[man with hat]

I'm using the SourceSDK (mp, [url]https://github.com/ValveSoftware/source-sdk-2013/tree/master/mp/src/public[/url]) and loading this module on my server. I have the tier0 and tier1 libs, and I've added them and have no compilation errors, but the server variable is NULL.

[cpp]#include "Lua/Interface.h"
#include "eiface.h"

IVEngineServer* server;

GMOD_MODULE_OPEN()
{
CreateInterfaceFn engineFactory = Sys_GetFactory("engine.dll");
server = (IVEngineServer*)engineFactory(INTERFACEVERSION_VENGINESERVER, NULL); // server variable is NULL

return 0;
}

GMOD_MODULE_CLOSE()
{
return 0;
}[/cpp]
I have no idea why it's NULL. What am I doing wrong?

Garrysmod is on an older engine than the source-sdk use INTERFACEVERSION_VENGINESERVER_VERSION_21.

Thanks, that definitely fixed it. Another problem I'm running into is using server->GetIServer(). The program crashes whenever I call that. Is it because of gmod's engine being outdated?

Try VEngineServerV21 as your class.

I'm trying to add trails to my server's pointshop. All of the lua files are in the correct item folder in pointshop(pointshop/items/trails/trail.lua). For example, one of them is a trollface trail. This is what the code is.

ITEM.Name = 'Troll'
ITEM.Price = 150
ITEM.Material = 'trails/troll.vmt'

function ITEM:OnEquip(ply, modifications)
	ply.TrollTrail = util.SpriteTrail(ply, 0, modifications.color, false, 15, 1, 4, 0.125, self.Material)
end

function ITEM:OnHolster(ply)
	SafeRemoveEntity(ply.TrollTrail)
end

function ITEM:Modify(modifications)
	PS:ShowColorChooser(self, modifications)
end

function ITEM:OnModify(ply, modifications)
	SafeRemoveEntity(ply.TrollTrail)
	self:OnEquip(ply, modifications)
end

I don't see whats wrong with the script, but nobody has been able to see them. They show up as the classic purple/black squares and nobody can see them. The two vmt/vtf's are in the correct folder. (materials/trails/troll.vmt, and .vtf). I also have a duplicate folder of the vtfs/vmts in the trail addon itself. Also, yes, the trails are in the forced downloads file. People are downloading them, but are still not able to see them. I don't see what i'm doing wrong here. Can anyone help? (also same thing happened with my playermodels)

[QUOTE=Willox;46767232]Try VEngineServerV21 as your class.[/QUOTE]

I tried that and it didn't work out, but I saw eifacev21.h and replaced eiface.h with that. VEngineServerV21 is there but it isn't defined as a class, but a namespace. The only thing in the namespace is IVEngineServer and that version of it does not have GetIServer(). There is IVEngineServer021 in eiface.h and I've tried that as well but it crashes just like IVEngineServer.

To summarize:

• IVEngineServer and IVEngineServer021 in eiface.h crash when called.
• VEngineServerV21::IVEngineServer in eifacev21.h does not have GetIServer().

I can use other functions just fine. It seems to be only GetIServer().

Is it possible to enable physics with entities created by ClientsideModel() or is physics a serverside only function.

I'm basically just creating my own debris

[Iamgoofball]

Either LUA is shit or I'm really stupid.

self.clown = 5
self.mime = 6

self.clown = self.clown + self.mime (returns 5)
self.clown = self.mime (returns 5)
self.clown = self.mime + 10 (returns 5)

Am I doing something horribly wrong here or is setting a integer variable to the contents of a different integer variable impossible, or adding 2 integer variables together is impossible?

[Acecool]

Make sure self is defined. Also, what is self mime? Also, use comments, either // or --

[ROFLBURGER]

Ok I'm really confused right now because I'm familiar with how to scale a player's damage and how to add hooks but for some reason this isn't working

this is located in autorun/server

[lua]

function TeamDamageMod(ply,hitgroup,dmginfo)

local victim = ply
local attacker = dmginfo:GetAttacker()

print("anus")

print(victim:Team())
print(attacker:Team())

if victim:Team() == attacker:Team() and victim:Team() ~= 1001 then

dmginfo:ScaleDamage(0)

end

end

hook.Add("ScalePlayerDamage","Scale Team Damage", TeamDamageMod )

[/lua]

it's not even printing anus, what am I doing wrong?

[editline]22nd December 2014[/editline]

Really confused did. Printtable(hook.GetTable()) and it picks up

ScalePlayerDamage:
		UT Damage	=	function: 0x196270c0
		TeamDamageMod	=	function: 0x36c71818
		JackaScaleDamageHook	=	function: 0x196059a0
		CSS Detect Headshots	=	function: 0x340dde38

Is it possible to print the full contents of a function?

[QUOTE=DarthTealc;46768686]I think I've figured out my problem, I believe it's a bug with the TTT gamemode. Anyone want to double-check my logic before I report the bug so I don't make a fool of myself if I'm missing something obvious? :P

On a server running TTT I'm unable to set playermodel colours using the [URL="http://www.troubleinterroristtown.com/guides/hooks"]documented "TTTPlayerColor" hook[/URL] which says you need to "Return a Color object".

I'm doing this in a file that runs serverside

hook.Add( "TTTPlayerColor", "dtTTTPlayerColor", function( )
	return COLOR_PINK
end )

I also tried Color(255,0,255) instead of COLOR_PINK, and I tried a couple different colours not just pink.

That should set players to pink but they're spawning blue every time. I echo'd the GAMEMODE.playercolor value and it comes back as 255 0 255 255 as expected, but they still always spawn blue.[/QUOTE]

It seems to hook.Call init.lua:479 and in SHARED it has another hook that needs to be called:
shared.lua:150 hook.Call("TTTShouldColorModel", GAMEMODE, model)

How can I remove the "player killed player with weapon" and the connect/disconnect messages?

[WalkingZombie]

I can't get bullet.Spread to work in my weapon. It's been bothering me for a while, and I've looked for help where I could. It's still not working, which is why I've come here, which is now my last resort. What could cause bullet.Spread not to work? I've made sure that I have it written correctly, and I've debugged it to reveal that bullet.Spread is not 0 when the gun fires.

[lua] local bullet = {}
bullet.Num = self.Primary.ShotCount
bullet.Src = self.Owner:GetShootPos()

bullet.Dir = VectorToUse

bullet.Spread = 0.1 -- Doesn't seem to work?..

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

print( bullet.Spread )
self.Owner:FireBullets( bullet )[/lua]

Console:

Giving Blood Lord™ a cx_pwbase
Blood Lord™ Firing Index 40
Spread To Use: 0.010222830818481
Spread Before: 0.1
Spread (shot): 0.1
PAO:           -1.0774908545265
Recoil Base:   1.4255086990989
Recoil Scalar: 0.06435

Firing Index = weapon's EntIndex
Spread To Use was what I used to use for spread... but for testing, I just forced it to 0.1
The rest is just print lines I have other places in the document.

[editline]22nd December 2014[/editline]

I used the line to replace the rest of the bullet parameters, like bullet.Damage, bullet.Callback, etc.

[QUOTE=Author.;46770371]How can I remove the "player killed player with weapon" and the connect/disconnect messages?[/QUOTE]

I'm not sure about the connect/disconnect messages but I think [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/HUDShouldDraw]GM/HUDShouldDraw[/url] is what you're looking for to hide the kill messages in the top right?

To remove the kill icons in the top right you use GM/DrawDeathNotice.

I need help on how to add or edit ranks that can access the pointshop admin tab. So in the config file it's really straight forward.

PS.Config.HeadAdminCanAccessAdminTab = true -- Head Admin rank
PS.Config.SuperAdminCanAccessAdminTab = true -- Super Admin rank

Before of course, it was just Admin/SuperAdmin. It's just my guess but I think it's impossible to use spaces, as the script does not agree with that and I can't find anyway to fix that.

So that's in the config. Now for the actual access part.

if (PS.Config.AdminCanAccessAdminTab and LocalPlayer():IsAdmin()) or (PS.Config.SuperAdminCanAccessAdminTab and LocalPlayer():IsSuperAdmin()) then

I removed the HeadAdmin part from where you see AdminCanAccessAdminTab. The one with just admin is the default, and superadmin is also default.
Any time I try to change these strings, the menu completely explodes and refuses to work. Just by simply adding Head infront of the part that says Admin. Now obviously I'm doing this because the top rank is HeadAdmin, and the one below that is SuperAdmin. Now you may be wondering "well I mean you could just rename your top rank to superadmin, I don't see the issue"
You're completely right, but you know it's one of those OCD things because right now i'd like it if the owner rank can access the pointshop admin tab. Anyone know anything about this?

Yeah that's one thing I forgot, I included it back in.

It doesn't work still. It's not printing or anything still.

[editline]22nd December 2014[/editline]

Ok did some testing, what's really fucking weird is that if I add another ScalePlayerDamage hook it actually runs my print("anus") hook but not the one that was recently added. I reloaded gmod and the hook stopped working completely. The hooks seems to be broken completely or something; I put print("WHY") in the base gamemode file for ScalePlayerDamage and it doesn't even print "WHY".

but when I run hook.Call( "ScalePlayerDamage", nil , {Entity(1),HITGROUP_HEAD,DamageInfo()} ) it prints anus and gives me an error about my fake DamageInfo()

[editline]22nd December 2014[/editline]

w/e got it working using the PlayerShouldTakeDamage hook (even though I wanted to reflect damage) but this is a pretty big issue because I want to know if it's one of my scripts that are causing this, I'll have to keep checking script by script and see which is the culprit

[editline]22nd December 2014[/editline]

Ok I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but it only likes to use one ScalePlayerDamage.

I don't know if it's supposed to use one but I would be pretty sad if that was the case.

So I have two addons, one that detects headshots and one that detects friendly fire. They both need to use the hook ScalePlayerDamage but it looks like only one of the same hook can run at a time or my coding is fucked up

So as of now

This function

[lua]
function DetectHeadshots(ply, hitgroup, dmginfo)

if hitgroup == HITGROUP_HEAD then
ply:EmitSound("player/headshot"..math.random(1,2)..".wav",SNDLVL_TALKING,100,1,CHAN_BODY)
end

ply:SetColor(Color(255,0,0,255))

dmginfo:GetAttacker():ChatPrint("monster")

print("WHAT THE HELL")

return dmginfo

end

hook.Add("ScalePlayerDamage","CSS Detect Headshots",DetectHeadshots)
[/lua]

overrides this function

[lua]

function TeamDamageMod(victim,hitgroup,dmginfo)

print("anus")

--local victim = ply

local attacker = dmginfo:GetAttacker()

print(victim:Team())
print(attacker:Team())

if victim:Team() == attacker:Team() and victim:Team() ~= 1001 then

dmginfo:ScaleDamage(0)

end

return dmginfo

end

hook.Add("ScalePlayerDamage","Team Damage Mod", TeamDamageMod )

[/lua]

I want them both to work at the same time but in separate lua files, is that even possible or is that a limitation (because this limitation is HUGE)

[editline]22nd December 2014[/editline]

Ok found out what the problem was

[B]You're not supposed to return dmginfo...[/B]

that just tells all other ScalePlayerDamage hooks to go fuck themselves and not run

[ROFLBURGER]

Ok I need help with textures/andor lua

[lua]cam.Start3D(EyePos(),EyeAngles() + Angle(0,0,0) )
render.SetMaterial( mat )
render.DrawSphere( self.detail3:GetPos(), self.EffectRadius, 32, 32, Color(255,255,255,55) )
render.DrawSphere( self.detail3:GetPos(), -self.EffectRadius, 32, 32, Color(255,255,255,55) )
cam.End3D()[/lua]

I have this in my draw function, the mat is called elsewhere.

The result of this is unwanted...

... This picture is fine , the sphere draws like it should ...

[t]http://i.imgur.com/TWJ2Hri.jpg[/t]

... but this picture draws like it shouldn't. I'm wondering if there is something I could do to make the texture behind it not override like that.

What hook are you using?

[Iamgoofball]

okay so this is a really stupid question but I can't find any tutorials on it:

how do I make a derma panel show up on using an entity? as the code for that would go in cl_init.lua but I can't do ENT:Use() definitions in cl_init.lua.

[ROFLBURGER]

[QUOTE=Exho;46775216]What hook are you using?[/QUOTE]

Draw

[editline]22nd December 2014[/editline]

Actually it looks like it might be because I'm using self:SetRenderBounds( Vector(-1,-1,-1)*200, Vector(1,1,1)*200) but I need that in order to draw properly in the first place

If the object isn't in sight the sphere is told not to draw.

Well, I need a list of the valid classes. Not just a specific player's class. Thanks though.

Also if I could somehow extend the player_manager module that would work too. I just need access to its list of player classes.

All that function really is is just this:
[lua]function player_manager.GetPlayerClass( ply )

local id = ply:GetClassID()
if ( id == 0 ) then return end

return util.NetworkIDToString( id )

end[/lua]

So if you use that then probably figure out a number of classes and create a table of them from there. If not, you might want to just hook into RegisterClass and then have it add to a table each time its called.
