E = entity():isWeldedTo()
print(E:type())

Paste on a camera.

[Quidsy the Squidsy]

Great, thanks very much for your help! I can do small things using expression 2 but i don't really understand arrays and all that stuff...

[whosdr]

If I knew what you wanted to do with this data, i'd add that too.

[Quidsy the Squidsy]

Nah, it's ok. My intention was to spawn holograms at the camera co-ordinates, but it seems you put that in anyway in order to find the position. :P

[whosdr]

Yeah, I kinda included that in the code so...

[Quidsy the Squidsy]

Hi, i just went on Gmod and found the camera entity and stuff. When i spawn the expression, it works well and does what i want, apart from the fact that it only manages to find 1 camera :(

I had 3 cameras and it kept only finding the 1 camera that i made first. Any way around this, so it finds all of them? :D

[whosdr]

Odd. I can't find any flaw in the code. I'm launching SP to give it a go myself.
Add me on steam. Whosdr, as always. If I don't get it working today, at least you can ask me tomorrow.
Btw, I don't think RT cameras use the same class as regular cameras.

EDIT:
I found it to work on all my cameras, but not RT cameras.
If there is still a problem, try updating your Wiremod and playing in Single Player.

[Quidsy the Squidsy]

Right ok, thanks.

Edited:

Ok, I've found what had happened. To test it worked, i got rid of the entity input and changed where it says 'E' to 'owner()'. For some reason that's what messed it up, because when i had the expression with owner(), it only found the first camera. With the E:entity input, it finds all of them. I have no idea why...

Edited:

By the way, i've added you on steam.

Edited:

Ok, it's gone really fucked up and now its not finding any cameras :( I'll check up with you tomorrow.

Is it possible for you to create an E2 or LUA script that can do the same lines along status, that lists their Steam Friends names, and their names if they were on an RP server and had set RP names?

What?

You need the custom E2 function called "holoModelAny" for that.

But rumor has it that holoModel will soon be able to use any model... it's just that work on that is going very slowly. :S

As in say Taco n Banana, If somebody has to create a character with a name. Would it be possible to create SOME form of script that could link a character with a player.

[whosdr]

SteamID?

[Northy66]

Steam friends name, and character name. Not just status.

[whosdr]

Well, I don't know of a way.

[JasonG5]

Sooooo

How am I able to show Props in E2 ..
so like ..
I spawn the E2, and it shows a barrel ..
Or i can spawn an E2 which shows a ragdoll holding a spear ?(since in RP i cant spawn ragdolls so wanted to know if E2 could just make a .. hologram of one .. ) =D

runOnTick(1)
entity():applyForce(vec(0,0,9.013)*entity():mass())

Hey, you gave me this code before and it works, however because it just applies upwards force against the chip, if you introduce another upwards force and then stop, it carries on floating skyward because its weight isn't enough to overcome the movement given by that force and the hovering force. If you get what i mean...

So is it possible to make it hover at an altitude, and stay at it as long as you are not, at that moment, affecting it by some other means?

Sorry, that was kind of a retarded description, i hope someone understands... :P

runOnTick(1)

Thanks, whosdr :3 I'll try that out now...

Excellent, that works really well. Thanks. I highly appreciate this thread :D

Try

if (entity:vel():z() < 0) {
#apply upward gravity countering force here
}

[Lambda 77 :D]

I'm making a ship, only thing wrong with it at the moment is that it uses more than one E2 chip, because one is on trigger and the other on tick.
Is there any way of being able to merge them together? For instance, I have a toggle that works by "if I O = !O". I want to add it to the ROT E2, but because it runs on tick even when you just tap the input button it switches between !O and O really fast, even if I used "I & ~I".

[whosdr]

if (I & ~I) {O = !O} Should work, even with runOnTick(1), unless it isn't an input.

Can you make a code so that you can press buttons while in a vehicle?

Already possible. Just wire the buttons input of the adv pod controller to something.

[Decoy Ocelot]

Out of curiousity, would it be worth learning imaginary numbers and quaternions, or is applyAngForce good enough?

It's worth it.

I need something that i belive to be simple, but i don't know how to do it... Some guy is using a E2 to set fire on me, i need something to stop the fire...

You can't ignite or unignite with E2 unless you have a custom E2 extension.
Use a wire igniter with a time of 0.01 or something to unignite yourself.

[Fred1608]

Hey, one other question, im working on a E2 that give me the coordinates of a player after i tipe his name on the chat, but its not working, can you help me?

@name People Finder
@inputs
@outputs X Y Z
@persiist Cos:Vector Player:entity Name:String
Name = owner():lastSaid()
Interval(10)
Player  = Name:findPlayerByName()
Cos = Player:pos()

X = Cos:x()
Y = Cos:y()
Z = Cos:z()

1. ive seen a e2 that will spawn a propane tank and fire it, and do it repeatedly, while the tanks dont collide with each other and explode prematurely. Is this possible to make?

2. could you make a non-admin portal gun e2? ive seen ones that make a portal looking gun hologram over th gravity gun, and right and left click makes portals that u can go through. but if your an admin you can send props through. i dont have an example e2 to show u but i was just wondering if it were possible.

Edited:

i dont mean to sound so pathetic but i was also wondering if u can make an e2 that makes a player type something in chat, or when they enter a vehicle it thanks the creator

Edited:

(im just posting these for friends, i only want the propane for me)

Edited:

nvm about the chat one. and thanks for the portal gun link. but still wondering about the propane cannon

Is it possible to have hint or print output a value such as Target:entity?

I tried

if..........{hint("Targeting Target:entity",3)}

and well,it outputs exactly what it says. If it's not possible I'm curious to if there are a way to do something similar.

[ChronoMagus]

can you make me a e2 that uses a ranger to check for steam id's and opens a door when the correct steam id is checked with the ranger?

You'd use hint("Targeting "+Target:name())

whosdr posted:

Thanks for that,now it looks like this

@name Hint_Target
@inputs Input1 Target:entity

if (Input1==1) {hint("Targeting"+Target:name()),3}

But now I get an error that says "No such function: hint(string) at line 4, char 17". Absolutely no idea what it's complaining about.

[whosdr]

you've shifted a bracket.

if (Input1==1) {hint("Targeting"+Target:name(),3)}
By the way, if it is just 1 and 0, you can remove the == 1, and it returns boolean. 0 for false, anything else is true.

Works fine now,thanks for the help.

Hey Divran, I got a e2 requests, I am building like a microwave with an igniter, but I dont really know how to let the igniter ''reignite'' without pressing a button hundreds of times..
