Lua brush

<< < (2/2)

Tophat Man:
Ok I'm basically making a game mode. I figure its the easiest way for me at least to understand lua. It's going to be like the sassilization lounge server but more based on mini-games than like making money to play sassilization. So far I have the spawn and lounge parts of the map and I'm using this lua brush for the game room.

Because you scare him. You military men can be so intimidating.

Create a new entity folder called like "garrysmod/lua/entities/mynewbrush"
Inside this folder create an init.lua file and include the following in the file.
<clip>
Put this in a lua file that is run at startup. Either in your init.lua file, if you are making a gamemode.. or in a lua file in garrysmod/lua/autorun/server/
<clip>

Though I'm not sure the entities folder would act like any other addon, I strongly recommend using addon format.
gmod/addons/<myaddonname>/lua/entities blah blah
Just place an info.txt file in <myaddonname>.

President has a tendency to like editing straight gmod directories/code at times...but, one day, this will (if not already) bite him in the butt because he'll forget where a change is located that he needs to fix/put back (if overwritten by update).

:P :D

The addons folder is your friend. I recommend using it for any addition.
I've even gone so far as to convert some maps that had extra materials/sounds into addon format, so I wouldn't have to worry/remember where/what stuff came with the map.

Tophat Man:
Yeah when I have stuff that uses things like sounds or materials I use the addons folder. I already was using it for this, I have some custom textures and stuff.
