Lua questions that don't deserve their own thread go here.
This means things like:
How to add jobs in DarkRP,
Where to find PERP,
How to shoot ponies out of a gun.
and if your IQ is above 30, then things like why vehicles aren't working on Linux servers.

1.
Could someone give me a link were I can find gui.OpenURL?
Cause I want to creat a button that ween is pressed will open a webpage.
2.
Is there any tutorial how to creat circle ?

These aren't hard to find you know.

My other thread like, died or something so This is what I have just now:

hook.Add("PhysgunPickup", "SetVarOn", function(ply, ent)
	ent.DontPush = 1
end)
hook.Add("PhysgunDrop", "SetVarOff", function(ply, ent)
	ent.DontPush = 0
end)
hook.Add( "ShouldCollide", "StopMinges", function(ent1,ent2)
	if (ent1.DontPush == 1 || ent2.DontPush == 1) and (ent1:IsPlayer() || ent2:IsPlayer())  then

		ent1:SetColor( 255, 255, 255, 200 )
		return false
		else
		ent1:SetColor( 255, 255, 255, 255 )
	end
end)

Problem is, it goes through players but if it collides with something or someone shoots someone they go ghosted. I need the prop you pick up to only nocollide with players and not any other props.

Abot the Gui.OpenURL. After I creat the button using vgui.creat

Tab = vgui.Create( "DPropertySheet")
		Tab:SetParent( Banner )
		Tab:SetPos( 248, 120 )
		Tab:SetSize( 215, 60 )

And someone told me that I need to creat a GUI.Panel, and is not possible to add gui.OpenURL inside the button.

Edited:

And I want to ask if is possible to add Custom Font.

Don't set the color in the collision hook. Also, changing the collisions like that would normally break the physics engine.

function _R.Entity:CollisionRulesChanged() -- [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1150631[/url]
    -- HACK!
    local cg = self:GetCollisionGroup()
    self:SetCollisionGroup(COLLISION_GROUP_DEBRIS)
    self:SetCollisionGroup(cg)
end

hook.Add("PhysgunPickup", "SetVarOn", function(ply, ent)
    ent.DontPush = true
	ent:SetColor( 255, 255, 255, 200 )
	ent:CollisionRulesChanged()
end)

hook.Add("PhysgunDrop", "SetVarOff", function(ply, ent)
    ent.DontPush = false
	ent:SetColor( 255, 255, 255, 255 )
	ent:CollisionRulesChanged()
end)

hook.Add( "ShouldCollide", "StopMinges", function(ent1,ent2)
    if (ent1.DontPush || ent2.DontPush) and (ent1:IsPlayer() || ent2:IsPlayer()) then
        return false
    end
end)

Try that.

Anyone know of an up-to-date list of particle effects in HL2 that doesn't involve me going to the game's internal editor?

Just need some debug particles that look semi-pretty.

[Mogarf]

I need help taking the blood effect and setting it to follow dead bodies. (ParticleEffectAttach)

[Jinx786]

How would I create a simple speedometer that shows speed on a cars dashboard in digital (a number)? Thanks.

[meoiswa]

Guys this is "help with" thread, not "ask for people to do it for you" thread, go do your homework and come back asking why something is not working as you think it would!
@Killer_Steel: The Source engine wiki has a complete list of effects, google it
@Mogarf: Read the gmod Lua wiki, there should be some pointers on how to use the particle functions around there
@Jinx786: I'd suggest you read the HUD tutorials in the wiki and then read a bit of the "ent" class, you should be able to figure it out from there.

If you do not understand, the first argument is the (custom) font.
Since clients probbly do not have the custom font, you have to resource.AddFile it.
Custom fonts go into resources/fonts.

That's not exactly a 'code snippet'. If either work well or are decent lookings between the 2 it will be atleast 750 lines.

I dont mean something really advanced, Just something that looks nice and operates like the normal GMod Chat and Scoreboard.

Rather long post, but what I'm aiming for is to display Text over the job "Icon" so you can see what the job title is without having to put your mouse over it. I cant find the exact place in this function to do this. (This is for the Darkrp F4 job menu)

[Jinx786]

So I was following this tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZWf3flrFSg and I get this error

[addons\velocity\lua\autorun\velocity.lua:8] attempt to index global 'GM' (a nil value)

(I named it velocity because I want to make a speedometer later)

It hides the hud perfectly but then I get the error at line

function GM:HUDPaint()

Any ideas why would that be? Thanks.

[Drakehawke]

GM:HUDPaint is for gamemodes, which is loaded after autorun hence it's nil when your file is ran.

Use this instead:

hook.Add( "HUDPaint", "DrawSpeedo?", function()

 -- your code here

end )

[Mrwhitee]

Im kinda wondering how. to add world props to a map. that will spawn when server starts or a script that can spawn em :)

[Drakehawke]

Something like:

local function CreateWorldProp( model, pos, ang )

    local ent = ents.Create( "prop_physics" )
    ent:SetModel( model )
    ent:SetPos( pos )
    ent:SetAngles( ang )
    ent:Spawn()

    return ent
end

hook.Add( "InitPostEntity", "CreateWorldProps", function()

    CreateWorldProp( "models/props_borealis/bluebarrel001.mdl", Vector( 0, 0, 0 ), Angle( 0, 0, 0 ) )
    -- etc

end )

Anywhere serverside (lua/autorun/server/asdf.lua)

[Mrwhitee]

thanks

[shadowndacorner]

So I've been working on a gamemode and decided to make a character creation screen, but the DTextEntry I'm using doesn't want to take focus. Any suggestions?

Here's some of the code:

Ugh, tried going back into Lua on a very old and simple project, but whenever the flechettes attach to an NPC, the explosion effects simply seem to go to the origin of the map rather than explode where the NPC is. How would I go about making it so that no effects appear if a flechette hits an NPC (becomes non-existant)?

I tried something like this at around line 110 and commenting out the code pertaining to the timed effects:

timer.Simple(2.7,function()
    if IsValid(ent) then
        ParticleEffectAttach("aurora_02b",PATTACH_ABSORIGIN_FOLLOW,ent,0)
        ParticleEffectAttach("electrical_arc_01_system",PATTACH_ABSORIGIN_FOLLOW,ent,0)
        ParticleEffectAttach("Weapon_Combine_Ion_Cannon_Explosion",PATTACH_ABSORIGIN_FOLLOW,ent,0)
        ParticleEffectAttach("cingularity",PATTACH_ABSORIGIN_FOLLOW,ent,0)
           
    end
end)

But all that does is completely remove the extra delayed effects attached to the flechette, although there are no effects attached to the origin of the map.

Suggestions?

Edited:

Gah, nevermind, I realized the thing I did at the bottom wasn't in the primary fire function... I'm dumb.

[Netheous]

function DB_GlobalSave()
	for _, ply in pairs (player.GetAll()) do
		if ply:IsValid() then
			SQLaction = sql.Query("UPDATE ply_info SET money = "..ply.stats.money..", items = 'smallbattery', WHERE u_id = '"..ply:SteamID().."'")
		end
		if !SQLaction then
			print(sql.LastError(SQLaction))
		end
	end
end

Timer Error: [gamemodes\nethsrp\gamemode\database.lua:54] attempt to concatenate field 'money' (a nil value)

If anyone is curious, this is where I setup those tables:

function DB_LoadPlayer( person )
if !person:IsValid() then return end
	SQLaction = sql.Query("SELECT u_id, money, items FROM ply_info WHERE u_id = '"..person:SteamID().."'")
	if SQLaction then
		
		person.stats = 
		{
			money = SQLaction.money,
			xp = 1337,
			points = 1339
		}
			
		person.items =
		{
			SQLaction.items
		}
		DB_SendStats( person )
		//DB_SendItems( person )
	else
		DB_NewPlayer( person )
	end
end
hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "DB_LoadPlayer", DB_LoadPlayer )

I'm really new to Lua and I'm following this guide to making a gamemode for Marble Blast Ultra to go with GameDev's maps. When I test it in GMod, the console says



No clue what it means, but here's the init.lua.

- code -

Line 58:

ply:Spawn

Should be

ply:Spawn()

What difference between function and local function?
You can't call local function globally?

a local function can only be run within the block of code its been made in.

Acts like any other local, it doesn't exist outside it's scope.

GM:HUDPaint is for gamemodes, which is loaded after autorun hence it's nil when your file is ran.

Use this instead:

hook.Add( "HUDPaint", "DrawSpeedo?", function()

 -- your code here

end )

Thank you very much, it works. Just one question: What units is the result for GetVelocity() in? When I walk its 250, when I run its 500 (gmod walk and run are faster than normal), when I drive a vehicle its 800-1100. Id like to convert them to kph.
Since wiki is not working properly I get no uselful results for this function.

Edit: I have measured this:
vehicle
normal mode: measured max: 1580 specified max: 90 mph 144.84096 kph
boost mode: measured max: 2110 specified max: 120 mph 193.12128 kph

Units per a minute at a guess.
