function SWEP:Reload()
  self:EmitSound(Sound("weapons/scp_reload.wav"),self:GetPos(), 1, CHAN_AUTO, 1, 25, 0, 10 ) 
        self.Weapon:DefaultReload( ACT_VM_RELOAD );

end

I am trying to change the reload sound of my swep

when I reloaded, the sound was so loud and distorted that I threw my headset against the wall and it broke

what am I doing wrong, I played the .wav sound file and it sounded just fine

You mixed up the arguments: [url]https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Entity/EmitSound[/url]

Ok I fixed that with the help of some1 but its still distorted, whatever I try to do,
the sound is a .wav and sounds normal outside gmod

Silly question time: Is there any way to rotate a textured quad other than using an animated texture?

[LisyFOX]

[QUOTE=LisyFOX;51948850]Thanks, this code works fine! But how make map rotated, I'm tried use surface.DrawTexturedRectRotatedPoint from surface.DrawTexturedRectRotated gmod wiki, but this don't work properly.[/QUOTE]

What about these questions?

We have no idea.

You can add to your material "$additive", but i know what you're looking for, and this is not exactly what you're looking, something like gta v iirc

I need to make a condition where a traitor can not pick up new weapons in ttt for the power rounds addon.

PlayerCanPickupWeapon = function(Ply, Ent)
			if ply:GetRole() ~= ROLE_TRAITOR then return true else return false end
		end,

This is the code I have so far but it dosen't seem, to allow either role to pickup weaponry.

Does that function support PlayerCanPickupWeapon as a key?

[QUOTE=code_gs;51955067]Does that function support PlayerCanPickupWeapon as a key?[/QUOTE]

Not quite sure what you mean. Im rather new to gmod and LUA.

Its an addon to determine if a player can pick up a weapon. I think It may just apply to all players

PlayerCanPickupWeapon is a GMod hook; you are sending it in to the PowerRounds.AddRound function which might not support it.

It does support the hook for fact. Its used in a different way in another script. It does work as a hook in Powerrounds

We wouldn't know how to fix your issue without knowing the addon source. Perhaps you should contact the author.

That's not a function, nor it works like that

function()

Would this work?

You need to end the function and the parenthesis.

[QUOTE=Promptitude;51955675]You need to end the function and the parenthesis.[/QUOTE]

but otherwise would it work?

[c👌de_g🎷]

Don't return true or you will block other hooks. Only return false. Ex.

if ply:GetRole () == ROLE_TRAITOR then return false end

[QUOTE=LisyFOX;51954247]What about these questions?[/QUOTE]

I think I know what you're wanting, one method is to create a material of the minimap, and a material that is a mask for the gradient. On the minimap material set it's $detail to your mask texture and set $detailblendmode 9 [URL="https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/$detail"]$detail[/URL] then to allow for rotations and movement of the minimap material use [URL="https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/$basetexturetransform"]$basetexturetransform[/URL] and update that however you want.

[QUOTE=Shenesis;51956165]Bumping an ages-old problem that I've been trying to solve. ClientsideModels sometimes seem to lag despite having their positions set in a rendering hook. I tried positioning them in a CreateMove hook but it didn't really work.

(This is with [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Entity/FollowBone]Entity:FollowBone[/url] but I'm pretty sure this is the same problem)

I've had this issue happen on some servers but not others (I'm not even able to reproduce the issue reliably) so I'm thinking it's a networking issue, perhaps related to interpolation where (I'm talking out of my ass at this point) the player's skeleton lags behind the actual model. With this in mind I tried screwing with net_fakelag, cl_interp, I tried checking if I could get different positions by using different methods ([img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Entity/GetPos]Entity:GetPos[/url], [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/ENTITY/CalcAbsolutePosition]ENT:CalcAbsolutePosition[/url]) but I haven't got a clue. This is a really annoying problem that I've been trying to solve for years.[/QUOTE]

I have also had this same issue for the longest time, but I recently found a solution through trial and error and some luck. It seems to be related to traces, where anything that runs any traces(possibly with lag compensation) that are in the general area will cause the parented entites to 'lag behind' shortly(anything using GetBonePosition for positioning). For instance, in TTT the Radio commands use traces when the menu comes up bound to 'suitzoom'. When you activate that it will lag clientside models behind or ahead.

I tried some stuff out and found the solution that worked for me with entities that follow bone positions/angles:

Basically what you need to do is get the bone position/angles from GetBoneMatrix (then use matrix:GetTranslation() and matrix:GetAngles() )instead of GetBonePosition. That resolved this issue for me, hopefully it works for you/others too!

Good luck!
