@astral basin have you tried this not in single player?

astral basin Oct 28, 2024, 12:21 AM

#

elfin briar <@648081177542000640> have you tried this not in single player?

no, why?

elfin briar Oct 28, 2024, 12:22 AM

#

It produces weird results

astral basin Oct 28, 2024, 12:23 AM

#

like what?

astral basin Oct 28, 2024, 12:27 AM

#

elfin briar It produces weird results

could you send a vid?

elfin briar Oct 28, 2024, 12:27 AM

#

Not at home

astral basin Oct 28, 2024, 12:28 AM

#

oh ok

astral basin Oct 28, 2024, 3:26 AM

#

elfin briar It produces weird results

what actually happens?

elfin briar Oct 28, 2024, 5:49 AM

#

astral basin what actually happens?

astral basin Oct 28, 2024, 5:51 AM

#

that is weird

#

this is the code that controls that

#

would it be because of those angle_p/y convars?

elfin briar Oct 28, 2024, 6:49 AM

#

astral basin would it be because of those angle_p/y convars?

I've replace those with local variables and it still does that

astral basin Oct 28, 2024, 6:52 AM

#

elfin briar I've replace those with local variables and it still does that

i think i tried that initially

#

its annopying because SetupMove is the only shared relm hook

#

and CalcView only sets the variable on the client

#

yeah no it doesnt work

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 4:58 AM

#

elfin briar

i think i figured out what was happening, i tried to make a fix but idk if it works. could you test it for me?

elfin briar Oct 30, 2024, 4:58 AM

#

astral basin i think i figured out what was happening, i tried to make a fix but idk if it wo...

sure

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 4:59 AM

#

thanks

elfin briar Oct 30, 2024, 5:13 AM

#

I don't know why but when the addons in the server content pack it doesn't start but when I extract the lua files and put them in an addon they start

#

it's still not working on a server

#

and you left a print in

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 5:14 AM

#

oh huh

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 5:14 AM

#

elfin briar I don't know why but when the addons in the server content pack it doesn't start...

also thats pretty weird

#

the only solution then is to have it only run on the server

#

maybe

#

ill try that

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 5:24 AM

#

elfin briar and you left a print in

try again now?

elfin briar Oct 30, 2024, 5:30 AM

#

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 5:31 AM

#

thats super annoying

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 5:37 AM

#

elfin briar

i did try one other thing, ill just send it directly to you to save trouble with the actuall addon

📎 roblox_camera.gma

elfin briar Oct 30, 2024, 5:41 AM

#

same thing

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 5:46 AM

#

elfin briar same thing

what do you think i could do?

elfin briar Oct 30, 2024, 5:48 AM

#

https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/CMoveData:SetMoveAngles

Garry's Mod Wiki

CMoveData:SetMoveAngles

Sets the serverside move angles, making the movement keys act as if player was facing that direction.
This function is predicted, and should be called shared with matching data on client and server.

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 5:50 AM

#

astral basin i did try one other thing, ill just send it directly to you to save trouble with...

thats what i did to this

elfin briar Oct 30, 2024, 5:50 AM

#

oh

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 5:50 AM

#

maybe this?

elfin briar Oct 30, 2024, 5:51 AM

#

that's the function that should be called on both

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 5:52 AM

#

elfin briar

?

elfin briar Oct 30, 2024, 5:52 AM

#

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 5:52 AM

#

right ok

#

is there any other way i could get the cameras angles maybe?

elfin briar Oct 30, 2024, 5:54 AM

#

FinishMove?

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 5:55 AM

#

same context

elfin briar Oct 30, 2024, 5:56 AM

#

Finish move makes me spin the direction I'm holding

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 5:57 AM

#

that just means SetMoveAngles isnt being set

elfin briar Oct 30, 2024, 5:59 AM

#

I'm not sure

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 5:59 AM

#

im fairly sure its all because this isnt being set on the client for some reason

#

im not sure why

elfin briar Oct 30, 2024, 6:03 AM

#

are the convars allowed to be called on server like that

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 6:03 AM

#

elfin briar I'm not sure

could you quickly add a print(camAim)under that to see what comes out?

elfin briar Oct 30, 2024, 6:09 AM

#

#

I don't think you can use convars like that on the server

#

per person

#

Maybe NWInt and NWBool?

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 6:11 AM

#

i didnt even know that was a thing

#

ill try that

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 6:11 AM

#

elfin briar Maybe NWInt and NWBool?

like replace the convars with those?

elfin briar Oct 30, 2024, 6:11 AM

#

yes

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 6:11 AM

#

ok

#

gime aminute

#

elfin briar Oct 30, 2024, 6:17 AM

#

yes

#

clients only need their own data

#

run in shared

#

then the server has the data

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 6:18 AM

#

astral basin

but this implies that if i set it on the client the server wont see any change

elfin briar Oct 30, 2024, 6:21 AM

#

okay

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 6:23 AM

#

i mean it works fine for most of the other hooks, but a big reason for using convars was that it seemed to be shared between the server and the client

elfin briar Oct 30, 2024, 6:23 AM

#

no

#

it's shared in singleplayer

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 6:23 AM

#

really?

elfin briar Oct 30, 2024, 6:23 AM

#

that's the problem we're having

#

I think

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 6:23 AM

#

thatd make sense

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 6:24 AM

#

elfin briar Maybe NWInt and NWBool?

but do these?

elfin briar Oct 30, 2024, 6:25 AM

#

I don't know

#

I'm trying

local camAim
if CLIENT then camAim = Angle(GetConVar("roblox_cam_angle_p"):GetFloat(), GetConVar("roblox_cam_angle_y"):GetFloat(), 0) end
if SERVER then camAim = Angle(ply:GetNWInt("roblox_cam_angle_p"), ply:GetNWInt("roblox_cam_angle_y"), 0) end
print(camAim)```

#

it works

#

but it's laggy

#


if CLIENT then
    local cacheP = 0
    local cacheY = 0
    hook.Add("InputMouseApply", "rbxCamCalc", function(cmd, x, y, angle)
        local ply = LocalPlayer()
        if not ply.rbxFreeCam then ply.rbxFreeCam = angle end
        ply.rbxFreeCam.p = math.NormalizeAngle(ply.rbxFreeCam.p + y / 50)
        ply.rbxFreeCam.y = math.NormalizeAngle(ply.rbxFreeCam.y - x / 50)
        ply.rbxFreeCam.p = math.Clamp(ply.rbxFreeCam.p, -89, 89)
        getAng(ply.rbxFreeCam)
        if cacheP ~= ply.rbxFreeCam.p or cacheY ~= ply.rbxFreeCam.y then
            cacheP = ply.rbxFreeCam.p
            cacheY = ply.rbxFreeCam.y
            net.Start("roblox_cam_angle")
            net.WriteEntity(ply)
            net.WriteInt(ply.rbxFreeCam.p, 32)
            net.WriteInt(ply.rbxFreeCam.y, 32)
            net.SendToServer()
        end
        if distChanged and GetConVar("roblox_cam_classic"):GetBool() then ply.rbxFreeCam.p = camSkew.p end
        if GetConVar("roblox_cam_shiftlock"):GetBool() and not ply:InVehicle() or GetConVar("roblox_cam_dist"):GetInt() < 1 then return end
        return true
    end)
end

if SERVER then
    util.AddNetworkString("roblox_cam_angle")
    net.Receive("roblox_cam_angle", function(len)
        local ply = net.ReadEntity()
        local p = net.ReadInt(32)
        local y = net.ReadInt(32)
        ply:SetNWInt("roblox_cam_angle_p", p)
        ply:SetNWInt("roblox_cam_angle_y", y)
        print("recieved")
    end)
end```

#

just need a better way to send data to the server in InputMouseApply

#

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 6:37 AM

#

works fine in single player

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 6:42 AM

#

elfin briar ```lua if CLIENT then local cacheP = 0 local cacheY = 0 hook.Add("I...

what if instead of using NWInt you just used something like ply.rbxCamAngle

#

tried it and it seems to do the same thing

#

idk how itl react on multiplayer

#

might be exactly the same

elfin briar Oct 30, 2024, 6:42 AM

#

The lag is a net issue

#

not reading NWInt

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 6:43 AM

#

oh ok

elfin briar Oct 30, 2024, 6:44 AM

#

astral basin what if instead of using NWInt you just used something like `ply.rbxCamAngle`

this works

#

still laggy

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 6:50 AM

#

elfin briar

that kinda almost looks like its trying to aim towards where you were last standing

#

thats realy weird

elfin briar Oct 30, 2024, 6:59 AM

#

I don't know how to network it better

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 7:04 AM

#

idk if you can

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 7:06 AM

#

elfin briar this works

do you want credit on the addon page?

elfin briar Oct 30, 2024, 7:07 AM

#

are you using this?

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 7:07 AM

#

yeah

elfin briar Oct 30, 2024, 7:07 AM

#

sure

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 7:07 AM

#

idk what else i could do

elfin briar Oct 30, 2024, 7:07 AM

#

not have it work in multiplayer

#

for some reason the addon doesn't work in a content pack on the server

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 7:08 AM

#

like as the .gma file?

elfin briar Oct 30, 2024, 7:08 AM

#

as in +host_workshop_collection

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 7:08 AM

#

idk, im not familiar with gmod servers

astral basin Oct 30, 2024, 7:09 AM

#

elfin briar sure

elfin briar Oct 30, 2024, 7:09 AM

#
