GMod - What are you working on? November 2017 (#75)

[Kevlon]

Made a thing that lets you add clientside props to entities easily since I was doing it by hand and wanted to kill myself
idk if it's useful for anyone but cool to have
Just build ent in sandbox and constraint all extra props and then you have cool decorated ent
Code is pretty self explanitory if anyone wants to use it
local function cmd(s)
concommand.Add(s,function(ply,cmd,args,ss)
RunConsoleCommand("cmd", s, ss)
end)
end
if CLIENT then
function printLocalPropsLua()
print([[
local function initClEnts(ent)
ent.draw_ents_a = {}
for k,v in pairs(draw_ents) do
local mdl = ClientsideModel(v[1])
table.insert(ent.draw_ents_a,{mdl,v[2],v[3]})
mdl:SetModelScale(v[4],0)
end
end

local function endClEnts(ent)
for k,v in pairs(ent.draw_ents_a) do
v[1]:Remove()
end
end

local function drawClEnts(ent)
for k,v in pairs(ent.draw_ents_a) do
v[1]:SetPos(ent:LocalToWorld(v[2]))
v[1]:SetAngles(ent:LocalToWorldAngles(v[3]))
v[1]:DrawModel()
end
end
]])
end

net.Receive("localpropsent",function()
local ent = net.ReadEntity()
print("--Model = '" .. ent:GetModel() .. "'")
local s = "local draw_ents = {"
for k,v in pairs(net.ReadTable()) do
if v == ent then continue end
local pos = ent:WorldToLocal(v:GetPos())
local ang = ent:WorldToLocalAngles(v:GetAngles())
s = s .. ("\n\t{ [[%s]], Vector(%s,%s,%s), Angle(%s,%s,%s), %s },"):format(v:GetModel(),pos.x,pos.y,pos.z,ang.x,ang.y,ang.z,v:GetModelScale())
end
s = s .. "\n}"
print(s)
printLocalPropsLua()
end)

cmd("v_printlocalprops")
cmd("v_modelscale")

else
util.AddNetworkString("localpropsent")
concommand.Add("v_modelscale",function(ply,cmd,args)
if not ply:IsSuperAdmin() then return end
local ent = ply:GetEyeTrace().Entity
ent:SetModelScale(tonumber(args[1]),0)
end)
concommand.Add("v_printLocalProps",function(ply)
if not ply:IsSuperAdmin() then return end
net.Start("localpropsent")
net.WriteEntity(ply:GetEyeTrace().Entity)
net.WriteTable(constraint.GetAllConstrainedEntities(ply:GetEyeTrace().Entity))
net.Send(ply)
end)
end
Eg:
Gives you this output:
--Model = 'models/props/cs_militia/table_shed.mdl'
local draw_ents = {
    { [[models/props/cs_office/radio.mdl]], Vector(10.024369239807,-27.766258239746,10.125), Angle(-0.263671875,-36.386707305908,-0.087890632450581), 1 },
--[[ this post is already long enough

]]
}
local function initClEnts(ent)
ent.draw_ents_a = {}
for k,v in pairs(draw_ents) do
local mdl = ClientsideModel(v[1])
table.insert(ent.draw_ents_a,{mdl,v[2],v[3]})
mdl:SetModelScale(v[4],0)
end
end

local function endClEnts(ent)
for k,v in pairs(ent.draw_ents_a) do
v[1]:Remove()
end
end

local function drawClEnts(ent)
for k,v in pairs(ent.draw_ents_a) do
v[1]:SetPos(ent:LocalToWorld(v[2]))
v[1]:SetAngles(ent:LocalToWorldAngles(v[3]))
v[1]:DrawModel()
end
end
Which can be turned into this:

Remove the boot animation and it's very nice.

i dunno about you, but I really like how the info in Destiny 2 is presented in confirmation dialogs

i wish i knew how to make that smaller, sorry
