suit model change

Garry's Mod coding
#1

yeah sorry for that,

what i need is like if you press on “E” on a suitcase then you change model from like “models/player/breen.mdl” to models/player/combine_soldier_prisonguard.mdl so it just change you model and if you can make it so when you die it stay with that i mean is if you die with the suitcase on you like used it so you got the model models/player/combine_soldier_prisonguard.mdl so it don’t change back to models/player/breen.mdl,

hope you understand

my second old post:http://facepunch.com/threads/1180262?highlight=

wonder if someone can put this togheter

#2

Do you want the suitcase to be a SENT? What do you mean by having the suitcase “on”?

#3

yes i want it as en sent i was meaning when you wear the suit it change your model when you spawn the sent and press on it you change model

#4

Are you familiar with SENTS? Let me try something because I bet you know your english isn’t the greatest but i’ll give it a go.

You want a SENT to change your model to a different model. It will only change to the other model if your model is the model previous to the change. When you die it stays as is? Is this what you are asking specifically?

#5

yeah if you mean it stay as the model you changed to

#6

Alright I am testing what I made at the moment won’t be long till I send you the code.

[editline]29th April 2012[/editline]

Serverside code lua/autorun/server
[lua]
local use_model = false

hook.Add(“PlayerDeath”, “DeathOfPlayers”, function(victim, weapon, killer)
victim.model = victim:GetModel()
if victim.model == “models/player/combine_soldier_prisonguard.mdl” then
use_model = true
else
use_model = false
end
end)

hook.Add(“PlayerSpawn”, “CheckModel”, function(ply) // Use GM for gamemodes it wouldn’t override for me but I tested it and it worked
if use_model == true then
ply:SetModel(“models/player/combine_soldier_prisonguard.mdl”)
end
end)
[/lua]

This is the SENT:
cl_init.lua
[lua]
include(“shared.lua”)

function ENT:Initialize()
end

function ENT:Draw()
if !LocalPlayer():Alive() then return end
self.Entity:DrawModel()
end

function ENT:Think()
end
[/lua]

init.lua
[lua]
AddCSLuaFile(“cl_init.lua”)
AddCSLuaFile(“shared.lua”)

include(“shared.lua”)

function ENT:Initialize()
self.Entity:SetModel(“models/props_c17/SuitCase_Passenger_Physics.mdl”)
self.Entity:PhysicsInit(SOLID_VPHYSICS)
self.Entity:SetMoveType(MOVETYPE_VPHYSICS)
self.Entity:SetSolid(SOLID_VPHYSICS)
self:SetUseType(SIMPLE_USE)

local phys = self.Entity:GetPhysicsObject()
self.nodupe = true
self.ShareGravgun = true

if phys and phys:IsValid() then phys:Wake() end
self:SetCollisionGroup(COLLISION_GROUP_INTERACTIVE_DEBRIS)

end

function ENT:Use(activator, caller)
if activator:IsPlayer() and activator:Alive() then
activator:SetModel(“models/player/combine_soldier_prisonguard.mdl”)
end
//self:Remove() remove if you wish
end
[/lua]

shared.lua
[lua]
ENT.Type = “anim”
ENT.Base = “base_gmodentity”
ENT.PrintName = “SuitCase”
ENT.Author = “Inferno, Eh?”
ENT.Spawnable = false
ENT.AdminSpawnable = true
[/lua]

Enjoy :slight_smile:

doest seems it works for me i put in first code to lua/autorun/server and the other 3 to 3 lua files in to a foldercalled suit in lua/entities
i found it in entities in gmod but can’t spawn it

#8

Change this to true if you want non-admins to spawn it:
[lua]ENT.Spawnable = false[/lua]

The model saving i’m not sure how to keep it unless you place directly inside of the gamemode’s PlayerSpawn Hook which you would have to do yourself. Are you using this in sandbox?

#9

i mean that its a icon on entities of that you upload but when you press on it(spawn it ) it never spawns on the map

#10

I’m not sure. You can always spawn it with ent_create “name” in console.

#11

did you test this self on your gmod, if this worked for you upload it to mediafire.

P.S are this for gmod 12?

#12

I did test it myself and it doesn’t spawn from the spawn menu. I don’t know how to fix it because I don’t usually make addons for others. Sorry but I can’t help you any further than that.

#13

found this maybe you can just make this perment so it stay when you dies as the model you change to

Shared.lua



ENT.Type = "anim"
ENT.Base = "base_gmodentity"
ENT.PrintName = "model_alyx"
ENT.Author = "darkrp"
ENT.Spawnable = false
ENT.AdminSpawnable = true

cl_init.lua



include('shared.lua')

function ENT:Initialize()
end

function ENT:Draw()
    if !LocalPlayer():Alive() then return end
    self.Entity:DrawModel()
end

function ENT:Think()
end

init.lua



AddCSLuaFile("cl_init.lua")
AddCSLuaFile("shared.lua")

include('shared.lua')


function ENT:SpawnFunction( ply, tr )

	if ( !tr.Hit ) then return end
	
	local SpawnPos = tr.HitPos + tr.HitNormal * 16
	
	local ent = ents.Create( "clothes_combine" )
		ent:SetPos( SpawnPos )
	ent:Spawn()
	ent:Activate()
	
	
	return ent
	
end

function ENT:Initialize()
	self.Entity:SetModel( "models/props/de_tides/Vending_tshirt.mdl")
	self.Entity:PhysicsInit(SOLID_VPHYSICS)
	self.Entity:SetMoveType(MOVETYPE_VPHYSICS)
	self.Entity:SetSolid(SOLID_VPHYSICS)
	local phys = self.Entity:GetPhysicsObject()
	if(phys:IsValid()) then phys:Wake() end
end

function ENT:OnTakeDamage(dmg)
	    
	    self.Entity:EmitSound("/player/goprone.wav")
		self.Entity:Remove()
		
end


function ENT:Think()
end 

function ENT:Use(ply)
if ply:Team() == TEAM_CHIEF then return false
end
if ply:Team() == TEAM_POLICE then return false
end
if ply:Team() == TEAM_MAYOR then return false
end
if ply:Team() == TEAM_SWAT then return false
end
    ply:SetModel("models/player/alyx.mdl")
	self.Entity:TakeDamage()

end
#14

[lua]
function ENT:SpawnFunction( ply, tr )

if ( !tr.Hit ) then return end

local SpawnPos = tr.HitPos + tr.HitNormal * 16

local ent = ents.Create( "classname" ) -- Edit the classname to the Sent folder name
	ent:SetPos( SpawnPos )
ent:Spawn()
ent:Activate()


return ent

end
[/lua]
Just use this for the spawning for the SENT in the init.lua. You should have told me this was for DarkRP. Just wondering but is english your first language?

#15

no my first language are swedish

#16

Well try using that function I gave you tell me if it works. If not I will try this out later :slight_smile:

Here we GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :smiley:

[lua]
function ENT:SpawnFunction( ply, tr )
if ( !tr.Hit ) then return end
local ent = ents.Create( self.Classname )
ent:SetPos( tr.HitPos + tr.HitNormal * 16 )
ent:Spawn()
ent:Activate()

return ent

end
[/lua]
Copy and paste that inside of the entities init.lua folder and you should be all set! Happy suit changing!
