Speedometer Mod

[ShadowZero]

yes it can

Badspot should do the same that garrysmod.org did then and disable add-ons from the menu.

it wouldn't be wise to have the speedometer, as it causes terrible lag from looping through all the datablocks (which tends to be a lot if it's a big build)

What? First off a datablock and a brick are two completely different things. Second off, why would you loop through all the datablocks? (EDIT: Unless your finding other players speed like the other speedometer did)

Also, to everyone suggesting to add the X, Y, and Z velocities to get a speed, it doesn't work that way.

Why was the speedometer failed? My guess is it was probably badly made or contained an exploit or something similar. I'll probably make one if I'm bored and have nothing better to do.
Someone PMed me the speedometer, and looking through it I'd say it was failed because it overwrite default files, and loops through every object in the server (laggy) in order to track other players' speed (useless feature?) It also used an overly complicated method of calculating speed. I'm going to add a toggle feature to mine, and then I'll upload it and post a link here.

I'm not completely happy about how it looks, but it works fine. Also I took a guess (a pretty educated and tested guess, but still a guess) on the conversion to brick units for speed. Download

Dude. VCE now comes with a <var:pl:speed> replacer.

Doesn't anyone read my manual?

So you're saying that instead of him installing an add-on, pressing a key, and being done with it, he should instead download and install VCE, figure out how to use it/events in general, figure out what the events to make a speedometer are, debug whatever he did wrong, and go through the process of placing a brick, applying the events, and fixing any mistakes every time he joins a different server that hopefully allows building?

Seriously, VCE is cool and all but it isn't the answer to everything.

Only spiders read the enclosed instruction book.

Thank you.

Code: (Client-sided) [Select]

%speed = getControlObjectSpeed();


Code: (Server-sided) [Select]

// %pl is player
%speed = vectorDist("0 0 0", %pl.getVelocity());

Both of these are supposed to be used inside functions.

It was old Speedometer Gui back in around v6 or v7 something, I think. It was epic.

It's like you're implying there's a speedometer mod or something.
Also, if OP can't buy full BL, and can't handle something as simple as VCE then perhaps it's not worth helping him? He clearly stated he won't use VCE, and that, or a new server sided speedometer are the only real choices.

Three things,
Thank you headcrab zombie,
Shut up DrenDran, I'm okay with using VCE but I can't figure how to use it (I have issues with those types of things, so just drop it, and

It's funny: Ki Oreo said only spiders can read it and I just saw a tiny spider

You clearly missed the download link I put to one in a previous post.
And honestly, whats wrong with helping him? Learning the entire event system, along with VCE can be pretty complicated to a newbie, and the time I took to make a speedometer could easily be less then the time it could take him to figure it out.

[DrenDran]

Im going to make a speedometer mod, but not for you.

[Headcrab Zombie]

That's nice.

[DrenDran]

When I said you I was referring to OP.

Why even come to this section if that's all you're going to do?
