Set the model and return true/non-nil.

[swiitchup]

This is for a custom weapon for Zombie survival, For the medic gun, you can heal and speed up your teammates when you shoot them with a dart, does anyone out there have an idea of what part of code causes the player to speedup?

edit : I ended up finding out what it was,

function ENT:Move(pl, move)
	if pl ~= self:GetOwner() then return end

	move:SetMaxSpeed(move:GetMaxSpeed() + 50)
	move:SetMaxClientSpeed(move:GetMaxSpeed())
end

any idea on how to implement this into SWEP.BulletCallback?

[Shadow02]

Hey. I'm making an ESP type thing for a certain job in a server, but I can't figure out how to get it to check the user that is using the script's team. It is run on client side, because it's using Halos. Please tell me how to check the user's team, preferably in a lag-free way. This is what I've got so far;

[lua]

hook.Add( "PreDrawHalos", "AddHalos", function()
local vorts = {}

for k, v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
if v:Team() == TEAM_VORT then
table.insert( vorts, v )
end
end

halo.Add( vorts, Color( 0, 255, 0 ), 1, 1, 2, true, true )
end )

[/lua]

Many thanks!

I don't think you can use PreDrawHalos, use HUDPaint.
To get the players in a specific team you can use

local vorts = team.GetPlayers(TEAM_VORT)

I'm messing around with creating a custom entity but when set to some models such as "models/props_junk/Wheebarrow01a.mdl", it spawns half way in the ground. Anyone know a fix? Thanks!

PreDrawHalos is working fine for me. That line of code didn't work. I've tried using everything I know, but it just doesn't like it. I should probably find a way to use LocalPlayer() but I haven't figured it out yet.

[Benn20002]

Do you want the job to have ESP for all players? So he can see everyone?
Then use

if LocalPlayer():Team() != TEAM_VORT then return end
halo.Add(player.GetAll(), Color( 0, 255, 0 ), 1, 1, 2, true, true )

[asgloki]

I'm trying to pick a random player on the server and change them to another team, this is the code I've written but it's not working:

local randomply = table.Random(player.GetAll())

function teams(ply, text, team)
	if text == "!startround" then
         for k , v in pairs(randomply) do
	         if v == table.Random(randomply) then
		     v:SetTeam( 3 )
		     v:SetWalkSpeed( 300 )
	             v:SetRunSpeed( 350 ) 
		     v:SetHealth(100)
		     v:Give( "weapon_crowbar" )
	         end
	     end
	end
end

hook.Add("PlayerSay", "test", teams)

I've spent ages trying to figure out how to do it but nothing works, any help would be appreciated.

Just use v = table.Random(player.GetAll()) after your first if-statement, remove the other if-statement and the loop.

[JasonMan]

[QUOTE=Benn20002;52403976]Just use v = table.Random(player.GetAll()) after your first if-statement and remove the other if statement and the loop.[/QUOTE]

Side note: Don't use table.Random on sequential tables.Use [B]math.Random([url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/player/GetCount]player.GetCount()[/url])[/B] instead

[asgloki]

[QUOTE=Benn20002;52403976]Just use v = table.Random(player.GetAll()) after your first if-statement, remove the other if-statement and the loop.[/QUOTE]

Oh damn, yeah that makes much more sense. I'll try it out, thanks.

[c👌de_g🎷]

There's no need to loop through all players, and storing the table outside of the function doesn't allow it to update. Also, using table.Random for sequential tables is more inefficient than using math.random to select a numerical element since it loops internally. Lastly, use enums for your SetTeam and local/implicit functions where applicable. Ex.

hook.Add ("PlayerSay", "test", function(_, sText)
   if (sText:lower() == "!startround") then
      local iCount = player.GetCount()

      -- Could have been console that said it to an empty server, make sure there is a player
      if (iCount ~= 0) then
         local pRandomPlayer = player.GetAll()[1, iCount]
         pRandomPlayer:SetTeam(TEAM_BLAH)
         -- etc.
      end
  end
end)

Do I need to use AddCSLuaFile on clientside files in lua/autorun/client? Every tutorial I've ever read says you need to use AddCSLuaFile on files for them to work on servers, but I can't tell if it's needed for autorun files

Add IN_MOVEFORWARD to the CUserCMD keys in CreateMove or StartCommand

Can you post your code?

[A1steaksa]

[QUOTE=code_gs;52405083]Can you post your code?[/QUOTE]

Sure. I've swapped walk for duck as it's more visually apparent. I don't get any change from using IN_WALK, I suspect because it's toggling on and off fast enough to not make a significant difference.

Also to be clear, I get the same issue with SetupMove, Move, etc.

hook.Add( "SetupMove", "BrokenLegsMove", function( ply, dat )
	
	if ( not ply or not IsValid( ply ) or not dat  ) then return end

	if ( ply.brokenLegs and ply:Alive() ) then

		//dat:AddKey( IN_WALK )

		dat:AddKey( IN_DUCK )

		return true
	end
end )

Use CreateMove clientside. SetupMove and Move are too late. Also, there's no need to check the validity of the player and if the usercmd exists: those are guaranteed.

[Meninist]

hook.Add("TTTEndRound", "killstreak_ResetOnEnd", function()
    local pls = player.GetAll();
    for i = 1, #pls do
        local pl = pls[i];
        // Reset kill streak here
        // pl:SetKillStreak(0); -- Example
    end
end)

This seems to keep the killstreak variable at 0, but when I remove it the code works just fine.

hook.Add("OnKillStreakChange", "player_KillStreakChange", function(pl, newNum)
        print("Player: "..pl:Nick())
        print("Killstreak: "..newNum)

end)

local _R = debug.getregistry()
local PLAYER = _R.Player

function PLAYER:GetKillStreak() // Use this function to see how many kills a user currently killstreak is.
    return (CLIENT && self:GetNWInt("kill_streak", 0)) || (self.kill_streak||0) || 0
end

if(SERVER)then
    function PLAYER:SetKillStreak(num)
        self.kill_streak = num
        self:SetNWInt("kill_streak", num) // This is for clientside stuff.
hook.Call("OnKillStreakChange", nil, self, num)
    end
end


    hook.Add("PlayerDeath", "kill_streak_counter", function(victim, _, attacker)
        victim:SetKillStreak(0) // Reset the person who died kill streak to 0.

        if(victim != attacker && attacker:IsValid() && attacker:IsPlayer())then // Wasn't suicide
            attacker:SetKillStreak(attacker:GetKillStreak() + 1)
        end

        if(victim:IsTraitor() == attacker:IsTraitor()) then
        	attacker:SetKillStreak(0)
        end
    end)

hook.Add("TTTEndRound", "killstreak_ResetOnEnd", function()
    local pls = player.GetAll();
    for i = 1, #pls do
        local pl = pls[i];
        pl:SetKillStreak(0)
    end
end)




util.AddNetworkString("GetKillStreak")
hook.Add("OnKillStreakChange", "player_KillStreakChange", function(pl, newNum)
	net.Start("GetKillStreak")
	net.WriteInt(newNum, 32)
	net.Send(pl)
end)

Because CreateMove is before the server ever sees the keys, hence the server will never know the difference between a player actually holding down forward or not. StartCommand should be used for things that need to be predicted in both realms and you don't want to trust the client.
