Gmod Lua

[Aimbot14]

Hello there, this is my first thread and i am still fairly new to gmod lua and would still like to learn more.
Please understand if i'm a scrub and i don't know what i'm talking about but I need some help on making a
wall kick/parkour function for my server that i'm making.

(Edit) If any of you are familiar to the server Art of Parkour or Extended Movement Mod I am trying to make something similar :)

What are your doubts

I was just messing around with my old parkour system, here's a simplified example of it :

function GM:Move( ply, mv )
	-- If Jump is pressed, and player not on the ground then
	if ply:KeyPressed(  IN_JUMP ) && !ply:OnGround() then
		--Setup Variables
		local tracedata = {}
		local trace = nil
		tracedata.start = ply:GetPos() --the position of the player (located at their base)
		tracedata.filter = ply --ignore the player in the trace

		--trace in the direction the player is facing to see if they're close to a wall
		tracedata.endpos = ply:GetPos()+(ply:GetAngles():Forward()*45)
		trace = util.TraceLine(tracedata)
		-- We do a second trace 40 units up from the players base aswell for better detection
		tracedata.start = ply:GetPos() + Vector(0,0,40)
		local trace2 = util.TraceLine(tracedata)
		-- if either of the traces hit's a wall
		if trace.HitWorld || trace2.HitWorld then
			--give the player a boost up
			ply:SetVelocity(Vector(0,0,20000))
			-- play a nice sound
			ply:EmitSound( "physics/concrete/concrete_impact_hard"..math.random(3)..".wav", 80, math.random(70,90) )
		end
	end
end

This runs server side in a Gamemode.
From here you can try improving upon it with logic to make it a bit more 'balanced'.
Examples of things you could add are: Delays between each jump, a back kick when the player is holding the IN_BACK key to push them away from the wall, Side jumps, double jumps in the air if they're not near a wall.

Hope this helps you get started :)

What if i wanted to have it be specific to which side of the wall they are facing, aka if the wall is to their right or left

here is what i changed

if ply:KeyDown(  IN_JUMP, IN_MOVELEFT ) && ply:KeyPressed( IN_MOVERIGHT, IN_FORWARD) && !ply:OnGround() then

So for example if the wall is on their left they would have to spam w,d if its on their right it would be w, a

KeyDown/KeyPressed does not take multiple arguments. You have to check each individually.
