Finding Map Size

Garry's Mod coding
#1

Sorry to repeat the question, but does anyone know how to get the size of the current map through lua?

#2

What do you want to do with the map size?

#3

[lua]map = “gm_construct”
size = file.Size("…/maps/" … map … “.bsp”)
megs = size/1000000
print(map … " is " … megs … “MB”)
[/lua]

edit:
why do i have dumbs

#4

I think he means the dimensions of the current map.

#5

I wish to find a random spot to place an NPC,

#6

That’s probably not going to work well. It would be very likely that you place it inside a building, a prop, a player, or other bad things. You could find yourself an NPC sticking half into the ground.

#7

I am trying to aim around that, but I can’t start on that end until I can find map size so I don’t attempt to place outside of the map

that helps to see if is in a valid place after a position has made, I need the size of map to work out how large, THEN use that

#10

Derp, why did you make up a new function?
