Server-side binding and velocity

[Zmaster]

There's two things I want to do and can't quite figure out

Firstly, I want to make it so whenever a player hits the F2 button, they'll run the console command "ulx thirdperson"

Here's the code I got on my own. Th problem is, there was only a few things I could put in that part where it says "IN_ALT1", and none of them were F2, according to the list I was looking at. So how would I do this?

Code: Lua

1. function KeyPress( ply, key )
2.     if ( key == IN_ALT1 ) then
3.        ply:RunConsoleCommand( "ulx", "thirdperson" )
4.     end
5. end

Secondly, it became a problem on my DeathRun server where people could prespeed their way past traps and the deaths would never be able to catch up to them, so how would I set a max velocity? I wasn't able to figure this out on my own.

For your first thing, use this hook instead.

Alright, so here's what I ended up with after using that hook

Code: Lua

1. function ThirdpersonToggle( ply )
2.         ply:RunConsoleCommand( "ulx", "thirdperson" )
3. end
4. hook.Add( "ShowTeam", "ToggleTP", ThirdpersonToggle )

That didn't work in lua/autorun/server (the page you showed me said it was serverside code)

What's wrong? Here's the error I got when running it

Code: Lua

1. [ERROR] lua/autorun/server/mybinds.lua:2: attempt to call method 'RunConsoleCommand' (a nil value)
2. 1. fn - lua/autorun/server/mybinds.lua:2
3. 2. unknown - addons/ulib/lua/ulib/shared/hook.lua:183

and when I changed RunConsoleCommand to ConCommand (which is what the page you sent me used), nothing happened at all. There we no errors and no outcome

[MrPresident]

It's ply:ConCommand

ply:RunConsoleCommand isn't a thing.


With ConCommand you don't break the command into multiple arguements. It's a single string. so...
ply:ConCommand("ulx thirdperson")

Thanks, the bind works now
I still have two questions, though

When would RunConsoleCommand be used? http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Global/RunConsoleCommand

Secondly, what would I do about the max velocity?

RunConsoleCommand is used serverside.

Not sure if this still works, but:

Code: [Select]

physenv.SetPerformanceSettings( {
MaxVelocity = x
} )

Thanks Neku

As for Cobalt, I tried that yesterday and it had absolutely no effect ingame. Thanks anyway

Any other ideas?

This is the function called in Trouble in Terrorist Town(Idk if it'll help, was just an idea.)

Code: Lua

1. function plymeta:SetSpeed(slowed)
2.    local mul = hook.Call("TTTPlayerSpeed", GAMEMODE, self, slowed) or 1
3.    if slowed then
4.       self:SetWalkSpeed(120 * mul)
5.       self:SetRunSpeed(120 * mul)
6.       self:SetMaxSpeed(120 * mul)
7.    else
8.       self:SetWalkSpeed(225 * mul)
9.       self:SetRunSpeed(350 * mul)
10.       self:SetMaxSpeed(350 * mul)
11.    end
12. end

Thanks, Dog
I don't need this anymore but that could be useful for anyone who does need it
