[Sodak]

I want a Function that If a Player Died and another Player is in Range the player in range.. or just all player in range get freezed... It has kinda something to do with

-- Frighten Function
local function PlayerDeathFrighten(victim, inflictor, attacker)
	if victim:Team() == TEAM_SURVIVORS then
	

for k,v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
	for a,b in pairs( ents.FindInSphere( v:GetPos(), 1000 )) do
			b:Freeze(true)

	end
end
	
		
			

			end
		end

hook.Add("PlayerDeath", "shl_frightten_PlayerDeath", PlayerDeathFrighten)

But dont works i guess the main function is wrong but i never worked with ents.FindInSphere

You could just do FindInSphere, and if the ent is a player, freeze him. No need for double loops here

Thank u fixed it and now it works :)

[editline]8th August 2017[/editline]

Ok now added other function to the hook.

Here the code

-- Frighten Function
local function PlayerDeathFrighten(victim, inflictor, attacker)
	if victim:Team() == TEAM_SURVIVORS then
	

		for a,b in pairs( ents.FindInSphere( victim:GetPos(), 1000 )) do
			if b:IsPlayer() and b:IsValid() and b:Team() == TEAM_SURVIVORS and !b.stunfrighten then
			
			local randomfreeze = math.random(1,10)

			randomfreeze = math.Round(randomfreeze)

if randomfreeze == 1 then
				timer.Create("stun_frighten" .. b:UniqueID(), math.random(4, 6), 1, function()
				if !IsValid(b) then return end
				
				if b:Alive() then 
					b:SetMoveType(MOVETYPE_WALK)
					b:SetRunSpeed(b.stungun_runspeed)
					b:SetWalkSpeed(b.stungun_walkspeed)
					
					

				end
				b:SetMoveType(MOVETYPE_WALK)
				b.stunfrighten = false
			end)
			b:SetMoveType(MOVETYPE_NONE)
			b.stunfrighten = true
			b.stungun_runspeed = b:GetRunSpeed()
			b.stungun_walkspeed = b:GetWalkSpeed()
			b:SetRunSpeed(50)
			b:SetWalkSpeed(50)
			

else
timer.Create("stun_frighten" .. b:UniqueID(), math.random(4, 6), 1, function()
				if !IsValid(b) then return end
				
				if b:Alive() then 
					
					b:SetRunSpeed(b.stungun_runspeed)
					b:SetWalkSpeed(b.stungun_walkspeed)
					
					

				end
				b.stunfrighten = false
			end)
			
			b.stunfrighten = true
			b.stungun_runspeed = b:GetRunSpeed()
			b.stungun_walkspeed = b:GetWalkSpeed()
			b:SetRunSpeed(50)
			b:SetWalkSpeed(50)

end
			
				
		end
		
			

		end
	end
end

hook.Add("PlayerDeath", "shl_frightten_PlayerDeath", PlayerDeathFrighten)

How can i make it so.. that if randomfreeze == 1 is active not all players in range get freeze just random maybe 1 or 2 of the players but if player isAdmin he never get randomfreeze == 1 condition.
ANd Does someone know how to simulate the freeze effect.. because freeze deny the player from getting damage.

I know that i have to work with divide functions.

I wouldn't use ents.FindInSphere. It iterates through EVERY entity on the map.

I'd just do something like:

for a,b in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
	if (b:GetPos():Distance(victim:GetPos()) <= 1000) then
		--Your code logic here..
	
	end
end

--Alternatively you can use a little function like this.
function util.FindPlayersInSphere(pos, radius)
	local t = {};
	for k, v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
		if (v:GetPos():Distance(pos)) <= radius) then
			table.insert(t, v);
		
		end
	end
	return t;
end

Yeah this makes quite sense... But you know how to make it so that its freeze 1 player and slow the others randomly so just pick 1 player to freeze?

Downloading over Browser and Playing it on GMOD works?

Maybe U could try:

resource.AddFile( maps/mg_hn_compoundcourse2.bsp )

in a FastDL lua... Or just check the map file because big maps having trouble downloading directly from fastdl.. maybe use workshop instead?

Since it's a client, I assume it's referring to error 408, which means the client timed out. I would try testing with a different webhost and see if that fixes the issue, because for some reason the Garry's Mod client couldn't load the page/it didn't exist.

It's a shot in the dark, and I'm not entirely sure, but I once had this same issue and it 'seemed' to fix when I uploaded the non-bzip compressed version along side the compressed one. I can't confirm if that was indeed the fix(doesn't make sense at all tbh), or if it was just my webserver being weird, but I haven't had the issue since.

The only reason this "worked" is because Source tries the BZ2 version first and then the non-compressed version of the file if that failed

It might be that the webserver is getting slammed with lots of clients and times out for some people. It's a very hard issue to reproduce, but you could try increasing thread workers or using some kind of caching.

Can someone help me with the correct way to do door ownership? I have properties which are essentially defined by their doors and when a player buys a property, the doors for that property should then be owned by the player so they can lock and unlock them.

I was going to use `door:SetNWEntity(ply)` for each door but apparently thats not correct. I could also network it manually but I'd like to know my options.

[G4MB!T]

It has been brought to my attention that `Entity:Set/GetNW2*` functions exist that were supposed to replace the old `Entity:Set/GetNW*` functions, however the wiki does not list any of the `NW2*` functions.

How do I have a swep detect if it's in the world vs. in a players inventory? For some reason the owner doesnt change upon being dropped. (TTT)

You could try SetRunSpeed(0) and SetWalkSpeed(0) to simulate the freeze effect without actually giving the player godmode. This is untested, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work

local PlayersInRange = {}
for k, v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
    if v:GetPos():Distance(victim:GetPos()) <= 1000 then
        table.insert(PlayersInRange, v)
    end
end
local PlayerToFreeze = math.random(1, #PlayersInRange)
for k, v in pairs(PlayersInRange) do
    if k == PlayerToFreeze then
        v:SetRunSpeed(0)
        v:SetWalkSpeed(0)

    else
        v:SetRunSpeed(25)
        v:SetWalkSpeed(25)

It'd depend on the nextbot really, nextbots with more complex code are going to be more intensive than simple nextbots.

Got it set up in this table:

I need it so Union is either in the name with RcT, 05 or 04. How would I do this?

Sorry, I am bad at explaining this kind of thing.

The player has a name like CCA-C08-UNION-04-9275. It needs to check that the player has the combination of Union and 04 in their name. It also needs to check that the player has the combination of UNION & RcT and UNION and 05. RcT, 05 and 04 are ranks and UNION is the division.

I'm trying to render 3D text "flat" onto a door once and rotating the 3D2D matrix based on the HitNormal that the player is looking at the door.

So far its going well but there if you look at the door from the sides (i.e. when the door is open) the text rotates again making it not flat against the door.
