Title: ULX Observation Mode
Post by: Neku on May 28, 2014, 08:10:57 PM
ULX Observation Mode - 1.2

This adds a command into the utility tab called ulx observe. It places the target into Observation Mode, making them noclipped, godded, and invisible. This also stores the target's location and restores it upon reuse. If no target is defined with the chat command, it will target the person calling the command.

I made this for a guy on coderhire, but since it was easy to do, I did it for free.

Instead of running a console command just do this:
target_ply:SetMoveType( MOVETYPE_NOCLIP )
and
target_ply:SetMoveType( MOVETYPE_WALK )

Well I finally got around to nagging my server manager to put it in, and when using it I get this:
Code: [Select]
[ERROR] addons/ulx/lua/ulx/modules/sh/observation.lua:12: attempt to call method 'GetEyePos' (a nil value)
  1. call - addons/ulx/lua/ulx/modules/sh/observation.lua:12

I'll take a look at that, I don't think your eye position is needed anyway.

It's not GetEyePos(), just EyePos()

Is there any way the weapon could be made invisible, too? Or is that not a possibility with ULX functions?

They should be invisible too.

No, unfortunately the weapons are not invisible. As well, I can still slightly see people in observer mode, almost as if they have the vol_light material on.

Zombine, providing a bit more information would help greatly.
What gamemode? Do you use any addons that would affect the way a player looks visually?
Do you use any addons that do _anything_ with weapons? Is it all weapons, or custom ones? Which ones?
It sounds like this release works, perhaps just not in your server environment due to gamemode and or addon conflict.

Sandbox gamemode, no external player modification, and -all- weapons show up. I'm looking through a camera, if that helps, if for any reason cameras don't properly show invisiblity.

Try running ULX Cloak on yourself and see if the guns still appear.

ULX Cloak works just fine, but observer mode does this:

Alright, I overlooked that the amount that would cloak you by was 255 subtracted by the amount.
I fixed this in the update. Hopefully, this will be the last update! (Unless Garry breaks things.)
I don't know about the weapons though.

Well whatever you did to the fix the cloaking fixed the weapons issue with it!

It's absolutely perfect now, thank you so much for all of your help!

No problem, I'm sure other people will enjoy this release as well.  :)

Edit: I see you removed my statistics file.  :'( lol

Oh all I did was drop the module in, wasn't sure what that was for. I'm using it in singleplayer and my server co-hort hasn't put the module in the server yet, so I'm not sure what good it would do you, but I can put it in if you really want to see my singleplayer goodness. Also, I forgot to mention that SetEyePos doesn't exist, and I removed that line on my end. It still properly sets everything without it, as I'm sure SetEyeAngles takes care of it.

Haha, the autorun folder contains the statistics file. It doesn't do anything other than send me your server name and its IP address.
