Cache the result of input.IsButtonDown so you don't have to call it twice.

[del]Hey, listen. You're going to completely hate me and yourself for this. I'm really, truly sorry for what I'm about to say.

You're reinventing the [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Category:numpad]numpad library[/url].[/del]

Oh, numpad is serverside and your library is clientside. Okay then!

I doubt it'll make that much of a difference but THE FASTER THE BETTER

the only thing I'm reinventing is the meaning of bad hacky code - hopefully nobody will need to use it unless they're really lazy like me

Perhaps I made a mistake of already having made a new thread for this, but here goes:

Hello,

I am looking for a way to return the available bodygroups of a certain model, specified either by a model string (like [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Global/NumModelSkins[/url] does for skins) or directly from an already created [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Category:SpawnIcon[/url].

I know that the SpawnIcon contains a [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Category:ModelImage[/url] panel, but I do not see a way to access the entity contained within it.

Is this impossible to do? If so, what would you recommend to do instead? I was thinking of creating an invisible [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Category:DModelPanel[/url] using the model string and get the bodygroups from that via [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Entity/GetBodyGroups[/url].

[Sugar Tits]

What would be a reason for a server to crash with the error

"Model models/props_lab/huladoll.mdl not found and models/error.mdl couldn't be loaded"

When both of the models load fine on the server and seem to end up not being so fine around 8 - 10 hours later?

Have you checked [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/util/GetModelInfo]util.GetModelInfo[/url]? The output isn't actually documented on the wiki (I'll try to do this tonight, at work now) but it might give you the data you need.

Edit: If that fails and you end up using your second approach, you should just use [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Global/ClientsideModel]ClientsideModel[/url]. That's what DModelPanel uses internally.

I'm trying to make some Pointshop 1 code to replace a SWEP with another SWEP, but only if a specific SWEP is equipped or picked up, I've tried this:

function ITEM:OnEquip(ply)
if ply:HasWeapon( "weapon_name" ) then
ply:StripWeapon('weapon_name')
ply:Give(self.WeaponClass)
ply:SelectWeapon(self.WeaponClass)
end
end

This only works if the weapon is currently in use (not just in your inventory) when you buy the SWEP in Pointshop.

I also tried this:

function ITEM:PlayerCanPickupWeapon(psply, mods, ply, wep)
	if (psply == ply and wep:GetClass() == "weapon_name") then
		ply:Give(self.WeaponClass)
		wep:Remove()
		return false
	end
end

This works perfectly, but everytime the replaced SWEP is dropped from inventory, infinite replacements of "weapon_name" are created in inventory and this issue never goes away even if the SWEP is holstered in Pointshop.

I'm not sure how to fix this, I've tried a combination of both, but then the purchase does nothing.

[find me]

I am trying to generate multiple entities within close proximity of each other, without overlapping. Such as a grouping of trees or rocks. I can't figure out how to achieve this... It sounds simple in my mind but I can't figure it out. What kind of math would I use, or is there some kind of algorithm that might help?

[Haina]

Is it possible to utilize an entity already on a map if it has a target name? I want to know so I can attach a menu to it on touch.

[TomatoSoup]

How best can I change the speed at which a player accelerates when walking/sprinting? This needs to be able to have a unique value for every player, so sv_accelerate isn't an option.

So I'm a bit of a novice at lua scripting but I'm trying my best to teach myself. I've got a bit of an issue that I've tried to crack but I cant figure it out.

Basically, I have a scoreboard addon that has a few buttons on it that can make functions happen, I have another separate addon that brings up a taunt menu if someone presses the C key but I cant seem to get it to be called by pressing the button on the scoreboard.

Its not really essential but its just really bugging me that I cant make it work more than anything.

Scoreboard button code:

(I set it to false to disable it until I fix it)

    {
        control = "C",
        description = "Taunt Menu",
        color = Color(64, 105, 126, 190),
        colorHover = Color(64, 105, 126, 240),
        enabled = false,
        func = function()
    end
    },

You could use [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/gui/InternalKeyCodeTyped]gui.InternalKeyCodeTyped[/url]

If the taunt menu is opened while holding down C then closed while letting go of C, I guess you could add in a concommand clientside or any other function to open the menu in the taunt addon and just call that with LocalPlayer():ConCommand("commandyoumadeit")

[kingdomkz]

I figured this out, painfully simple.

function ITEM:OnEquip(ply, modifications)
	timer.Create("weaponcheck_"..ply:SteamID(), 1, 0, function()
		if ply:HasWeapon( "weapon_name" ) then
			ply:StripWeapon('weapon_name')
			ply:Give(self.WeaponClass)
			ply:SelectWeapon(self.WeaponClass)
		end
	end)
end

function ITEM:OnHolster(ply)
	timer.Destroy("weaponcheck_"..ply:SteamID())
end

Could anyone here suggest the best way to draw 2d textures between 2 vectors in PostDrawOpaqueRenderables? (cant wrap my head around attempting this)

I'm looking for something that uses a similar method to render.DrawBeam. (Without the specific rounded object)

[G😹nz😻]

So...Do you want to draw a poly?

How do i center text around a certain point?

As you can see here, some of the text on my scoreboard is not centered to the label above it. If i change the length of the text underneath the label, it's no longer centered:

[IMG]https://puu.sh/vsl0j/5e3ec56bc0.png[/IMG]

Here i changed the name of the "Gang", now the text is no longer centered:

[IMG]https://puu.sh/vslcC/f4ce8e0f8c.png[/IMG]

How do i go about fixing that?

[MysteryPancake]

Post code for the label creation

[SkitZz]

[QUOTE=MPan1;52135419]Post code for the label creation[/QUOTE]

It's using draw.SimpleText

draw.SimpleText("Gang", "scoreboard.info", w - 350, 115, color_white, TEXT_ALIGN_LEFT, TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)

Try:

draw.SimpleText("Gang", "scoreboard.info", w - 350, 115, color_white, TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER, TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)

Any way to remove the boosting from vehicles without editing the scripts?

In setupmove check if they're pressing shift, if they are then remove it from their keys pressed.

Hey. I want to create combat scripts and movement scripts without using a weapon, but rather by using hooks. Is this possible?

Example: Hooking KEY_Q to be shot forward at 5000 ups.

I've done something like this before, for [del]opening a menu[/del] picking up objects and placing them in an inventory. I used input.IsKeyDown and net.Send / net.Receive

I guess my real question is, I need to know how well this would Synchronize online.
