[G4MB!T]

So I can't use render.SetBlend or render.SetColorModulation?

[NeatNit]

[QUOTE=G4MB!T;52612001]Is it possible to use render.DrawQuad as an "overlay? Much like the "overlay"/"soft light" blend modes in photoshop.[/QUOTE]
If you mean what I think you mean, you can use the 'multiply' [url=https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/$detail#.24detailblendmode_.3Cint.3E]blend mode[/url] if you feel like starting to deal with the screen render target and stuff like that.

Thanks for that, I think it's getting me somewhere with [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/WEAPON/CanPrimaryAttack"]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/WEAPON/CanPrimaryAttack[/URL], but I don't know how to incorporate it to actually function and prevent it from firing. I'll also need to be able to change it to still fire with 1 bullet left when it's in cqc mode.
I tried this:

if self.Owner:KeyDown(IN_ATTACK) then
	SWEP.CanPrimaryFire(clip - 4)
end

But it just crashes my game when I fire in ranged mode.

It's more so the difference between full and semi-auto, not a secondary attack.

If the whole firemode code can help someone in diagnosing my problem, here you go (It's probably just me not knowing what to do, though):

function SWEP:CycleFiremodes()
	t = self.FireModes
	
	if not t.last then
		t.last = 2
	else
		if not t[t.last + 1] then
			t.last = 1
		else
			t.last = t.last + 1
		end
	end
	
	if self.dt.State == CW_AIMING or self:isBipodDeployed() then
		if self.FireModes[t.last] == "safe" then
			t.last = 1
		end
	end
	
	if self.FireMode != self.FireModes[t.last] and self.FireModes[t.last] then
		CT = CurTime()
		
		if IsFirstTimePredicted() then
			self:SelectFiremode(self.FireModes[t.last])
		end
		
		self:SetNextPrimaryFire(CT + 1.05)
		self:SetNextSecondaryFire(CT + 1.05)
		self.ReloadWait = CT + 1.8
	end
	
			if self.FireMode == "ranged" then
				self.ForegripParent = "ranged"
			
				clip = self:Clip1()
				cycle = 0.0
				rate = 2
				
				anim = ""
				prefix = ""
				suffix = ""
				self:sendWeaponAnim(prefix .. "changetosmg" .. suffix, rate, cycle)
				self.FireDelay = 1
				self.AmmoPerShot = 5
				self.Primary.Automatic		= false
				self.ReloadSpeed = .9
				if self.Owner:KeyDown(IN_ATTACK) then
					SWEP.CanPrimaryFire(clip - 4)
				end
				
			elseif self.FireMode == "cqc" then
				self.ForegripParent = "cqc"
				
				clip = self:Clip1()
				cycle = 0.0
				rate = 2
				anim = ""
				prefix = ""
				suffix = ""
				self:sendWeaponAnim(prefix .. "changetorifle" .. suffix, rate, cycle)
				self.FireDelay = 1/12
				self.AmmoPerShot = 1
				self.Primary.Automatic		= true
				self.ReloadSpeed = 1.42
			end
			-- I don't know what I'm doing
end

Thanks I'll give it a go. New question, is it possible to use the render library to render a tiled material in 3d space?

No idea what you're doing there. You're not using the syntax right, CanPrimaryFire isn't even a function, but either way it makes no sense.

I was thinking more like:
[lua]function SWEP:CanSecondaryAttack()

if ( self.Weapon:Clip1() < 5 ) then

self.Weapon:EmitSound( "Weapon_Pistol.Empty" )
self.Weapon:SetNextSecondaryFire( CurTime() + 0.2 )
return false

end

return true

end[/lua]

literally the example from the wiki, but changed to use Clip1 instead of Clip2 and <5 instead of <=0.

Yeah, but you have to mess with the material's scale with [url=https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/$basetexturetransform#Additional_parameters]$basetexturetransform[/url] (using [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/IMaterial/SetString]IMaterial:SetString[/url] or a custom material).

[/QUOTE]
I don't know what I'm doing either. I see the code you have, and it makes sense, I just don't know what to do with it to make it function.
And what's the difference between this and using CanPrimaryAttack? I'm confused because both the semi and full-auto rely on the primary attack key, or is this so I can have the CanPrimaryAttack have it be for the full auto mode separately?

So, currently i'm trying to see if a player is behind a prop that can be in any angle and basically sort of in any direction.
Basically this problem has two approaches.
1. Checking if the player is in a certain angle from the prop.
2. Checking if the player is in a square area predefined from the prop.
Note, that again, this prop will be rotated and else.

And, if my words aren't enough:
[IMG]https://i.gyazo.com/92b0624cb4665c21b6f86c95c71f0d39.png[/IMG]

Which of this two approaches would be the better one, and most optimized/easier to do?
(currently i'm a noob when talking about doing things in 3D space)

Found a way to do it.

When I holster my weapon, it won't reset my player speed back to normal. (Equipping it causes you to lose player speed and jump power)

function SWEP:Holster()
	
	if CLIENT and IsValid(self.Owner) then
		local vm = self.Owner:GetViewModel()
		if IsValid(vm) then
			self:ResetBonePositions(vm)
		end
		if SERVER then
			self.Owner:SetWalkSpeed(250)
			self.Owner:SetRunSpeed(500)
			self.Owner:SetJumpPower(200)
			self.Owner:SetArmor(0)
		end
		return true
	end
	
	return true
end

Because you're making an if in which you're checking if the player is valid and if its being executed on the client, and then inside of that if you're checking if its in the server instance, making this statement always false as the first IF will only pass if its being executed on the server.

I tried that earlier and it didn't work, but only because I did something else which broke SWEP:Holster. It works now, thank you very much!

[c👌de_g🎷]

Don't use Set*Speed in weapons. Instead, scale the speed in a [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/Move]GM:Move[/url] hook with [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/CMoveData/SetMaxSpeed]CMoveData:SetMaxSpeed[/url] and [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/CMoveData/SetMaxClientSpeed]CMoveData:SetMaxClientSpeed[/url] if the weapon is out.

Thanks for trying to help. I decided to just make it so that when in ranged mode, if it has fewer than 5 bullets in it, it'll just forcefully unload it. It actually works quite well, and only slightly gets rid of the function of switching to cqc mode after that. Again, thanks for trying to put up with my incompetence, and have a good day. Now if only I could have it play the empty sound after unloading instead of constantly playing it until the reload finishes.

if self:Clip1() >= 5 then
	self.AmmoPerShot = 5
else
	self:unloadWeapon()
end

[B]Edit:[/B]
Why did I have to put the AmmoPerShot in the if statement? That's dumb

Gday i am trying to make my HUD disappear when the scoreboard appears, on using GAMEMODE:ScoreboardShow/Hide it will either remove the scoreboard or show the default sandbox one. any help would be appreciated.

[G4MB!T]

You could probably use [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/HUDShouldDraw]GM:HUDShouldDraw[/url] and return false for CHudGMod when the scoreboard is open. This will only work t HUDs that use HUDPaint so if you were yo (for example) use this for PERP or old GMS then it wouldn't work since they hide the HUD and create vgui panels.

[del]Decimal values should start with 0. Change the bullet spread amd add a zero before each number[/del]

I am dumb:P

[G4MB!T]

@Gmod4Phun thats not a requirement nor the problem. The problem is that the bullet table is missing commas.

You need to remove the extra ")" in util.ScreenShake.

[editline]26th August 2017[/editline]

util.ScreenShake( Vector(self.Owner:EyePos()) [B][U])[/U][/B], 1, 1, 3, 400 )

[G4MB!T]

I am incorrect. @txike is correct.

Hey. I'm kind of a newbie to porting models to this game, but I'm somewhat knowledgable of it thanks to my experience working with SFM for the exact same purpose.

I've just set up all the joint collisions I want for my model in HLMV, and in the guide(s) I'm reading, it says to recompile after you've pasted the code from HLMV in your QC. To avoid messing everything up, though, I just want to quickly ask whether you need to recompile just the model(s) again, and/or the "Define Bones" box in Crowbar.

I don't wanna accidentally mess up everything, is all.

Thanks in advance.

I am surprised to hear this. Whenever I tried to use decimal values starting with a period, they always errored for me. I guess I learned a thing or two today

I'd like to know how to draw over the skybox, I mean, there are 2 rendering hooks, but how in the world I draw a model/something on it?
Hooks I talked about:
[url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/PostDraw2DSkyBox[/url]
[url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/PostDrawSkyBox[/url]

My problem: (to avoid XY problem)
I want to draw a model of a helicopter/airplane flying very high on the skybox, the model obviously wouldn't have any kind of collision, then upon meeting a coordinate on its path, it'd drop an airdrop which slowly transitions from skybox to world space real entity.
Does skybox pos of the model will be correct just like offseting the model off the centre of the world?

Can not "hook" ulib hooks

hello, im trying to sync my banlist, but i can't get the ulib hooks

its on /addons/mysql/lua/autorun/server/test.lua

local function test( steamid, data )
	print("now")
        PrintTable(data)
end
hook.Add("ULibPlayerBanned", "test", test)

so if i ban someone, he is banned but the function above is not being called

[B][U]solved: used outdated ulib[/U][/B]

Looks like it's called to me -- make sure another ULibPlayerBanned hook isn't returning a value.
