Problems That Don't Need Their Own Thread v5

[Mr.Pilot]

[QUOTE=code_gs;52826419]That's what I was thinking. I guessed it would have been Lua code since he said "my entity," but the engine probably sets it in the spawn method and not the constructor.[/QUOTE]

So it actually worked, thank you! Although my issue is that the model is placed backwards on the scanner. I don't suppose there's any fix for that?

What do you mean "backwards?"

[Mr.Pilot]

[QUOTE=code_gs;52827861]What do you mean "backwards?"[/QUOTE]

Like when the scanner goes forwards, the model is facing 180 degrees the wrong way.

Sorry for the beginner question, I'm still transitioning from complete beginner to sort of intermediate coder. How would I call on that on every client if running this on a shared file?

You would have to network the entity to the client after spawning it. From there, your client code would look something like:

local aRot = Angle(0, 180, 0)

net.Receive("RotateScanner", function()
	local pEntity = net.ReadEntity()

	if (pEntity:IsValid()) then
		pEntity.RenderOverride = function(self)
			self:SetRenderAngles(aRot)
			self:DrawModel()
		end
	end
end)

Didn't exactly work.

Serverside after I spawn the entity I do:

if (SERVER) then
	local entity = ents.Create("npc_cscanner")
	entity:SetPos(client:GetPos())
	entity:SetAngles(client:GetAngles())
	entity:SetColor(client:GetColor())
	entity:SetModel("models/shield_scanner.mdl")
	entity:Spawn()
	entity:Activate()

	net.Start("nut_rotateEyebot")
	net.WriteEntity(entity)
	net.Send(entity)
end

And then after all that clientside I do:

if (CLIENT) then
	local aRot = Angle(0, 180, 0)

	net.Receive("nut_rotateEyebot", function()
		local pEntity = net.ReadEntity()

		if (pEntity:IsValid()) then
			pEntity.RenderOverride = function(self)
				self:SetRenderAngles(aRot)
				self:DrawModel()
			end
		end
	end)

Also, are you doing anything to the entity outside of the code you've given us? I don't experience the npc being backwards (and I use the same code as you've provided), but I do experience animation problems (particularly the "open idle" animation being its idle animation)

I don't see why you don't just use npc_clawscanner

I've lied to all of you :worried:. I was actually creating an eyebot by editing Nutscript's HL2RP scanner script. I'll show you what I got:

[url]https://pastebin.com/WEfEqfeW[/url]

Everything works fine, it's only the orientation of the model. Which could just be the problem of the model itself, but I need to account for that and fix it. I'll try using net.Broadcast and report back.

net.Broadcast does nothing, but I could just be doing it all wrong.

Anyone know how a hack to get Deploy() to be called even when the SWEP/TOOL is deployed for the very first time (blame the prediction, i know) ?

Also, anyone already had rendering bugs with TOOL:DrawToolScreen ?

Some materials refuse to draw (always the same ones, .png, loaded with Material(), not any other flag) but some others always draws, [reloading the map]/[re-loading the materials] fixes the problem

I seems that the code in that page is broken. These two lines are trying to put data in a table that hasn't been created:[lua] PlayerData[id].playtime = args[2]
PlayerData[id].deaths = args[3][/lua]

You need to create the table before them, like so:[lua] PlayerData[id] = {}
PlayerData[id].playtime = args[2]
PlayerData[id].deaths = args[3][/lua]

To be fair python kind of works that way, as long as you specify the argument itself

[HornetPilot]

[QUOTE=water1108;52832118]You have

This isn't even related to the error, which is on this line

local phys = self.GetPhysicsObject()

You're calling a method as a variable. When you do this, the method won't have a self variable and will error out. If you wanted to, you could just do self.GetPhysicsObject(self), but that isn't good practice. Use

local phys = self:GetPhysicsObject()

Also, you'll run into a problem later with

c:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK,"How dare you, "..c:Nick()" abuse a power granted by the gods!")

You're not concatenating the first half of the string with the second half. It should be

c:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK,"How dare you, "..c:Nick() .." abuse a power granted by the gods!")

How do you override functions in a gamemode when you're using another gamemode as a base?

I have a gamemode that uses sandbox as a base GM:PlayerSpawnSWEP in my gamemode isn't being called.

GM.Name = "Fight to Survive Classic"
GM.Author = "Burger"
GM.Email = "N/A"
GM.Website = "N/A"
GM.Version = "1.0.0"
DeriveGamemode( "sandbox" )
DEFINE_BASECLASS( "gamemode_sandbox" )

I believe it's this:

function GM.BaseClass:PlayerSpawnSWEP(ply, name, tbl)
    print("call me maybe")
    return false
end

Untested, but this should overwrite the function directly in the base gamemode.

Use hooks.

[ROFLBURGER]

[QUOTE=G4MB!T;52835971]Use hooks.[/QUOTE]

Darn, thought there was a way without using hooks. Using hooks in a gamemode seemed a little unnecessary to me but oh well.

[G4MB!T]

If you want to override it completely then just do what you were doing before. If you need to override it but still call the base function, override it completely and call the base function (Requires use of DeriveGamemode("sandbox") in your case, then use `self.BaseClass.func(...)`).

The fact that yours was not being called might suggest a hook for the same function returning false, which means no other hooks or functions in the chain will be called.

Or even returns true. Any return value besides nil or no value will prevent the rest of the hooks and the gamemode function from being called.

Do you realize just how exploitable that is?

Another thing. I'm sure you can use a table to create those buttons instead of repeating the code a bajillion times. Just create a local variable that does

var = var + 55

after each iteration.

As for your problem.

net.Receive( "druglab_toserver", function( )
    local drugType = net.ReadString()
    local drugPos = self:GetPos()
    local drug = ents.Create(drugType)
    drug:SetPos(Vector(drugPos.x, drugPos.y, drugPos.z + 35))
    drug.nodupe = true
    drug:Spawn()
end)

instead of

net.Receive( "druglab_toserver", ENT:createItem )

function ENT:createItem()
    local drugType = net.ReadString()
    local drugPos = self:GetPos()
    local drug = ents.Create(drugType)
    drug:SetPos(Vector(drugPos.x, drugPos.y, drugPos.z + 35))
    drug.nodupe = true
    drug:Spawn()
end

After this, secure the net message. Someone can spawn ANY entity they want with that code.

Another thing. I'm sure you can use a table to create those buttons instead of repeating the code a bajillion times. Just create a local variable that does

var = var + 55

after each iteration.

As for your problem.

net.Receive( "druglab_toserver", function( )
    local drugType = net.ReadString()
    local drugPos = self:GetPos()
    local drug = ents.Create(drugType)
    drug:SetPos(Vector(drugPos.x, drugPos.y, drugPos.z + 35))
    drug.nodupe = true
    drug:Spawn()
end)

instead of

net.Receive( "druglab_toserver", ENT:createItem )

function ENT:createItem()
    local drugType = net.ReadString()
    local drugPos = self:GetPos()
    local drug = ents.Create(drugType)
    drug:SetPos(Vector(drugPos.x, drugPos.y, drugPos.z + 35))
    drug.nodupe = true
    drug:Spawn()
end

After this, secure the net message. Someone can spawn ANY entity they want with that code.[/QUOTE]

Well, it doesn't work. I did this before and nothing.
