cfc_gmod_scripts

A disgusting pile of loose-knit, à la carte scripts for Garry's Mod

Development

Halt! Are you 100% sure your idea doesn't fit better in its own repo, or perhaps another one of our addons? Loose-knit script repos like this are in danger of turning into a unmaintainable dumping ground. Please do your best to keep it clean and reasonable.

⚠️ The project structure and these rules are subject to change as we add more scripts.

All scripts should follow these rules:

• Be contained to a single directory under lua/cfc_gmod_scripts/
• Have an init.lua at the root of their directory
• Have a section in this README under the Included Scripts category
• Ideally, have a convar to enable/disable them

---

Configuration

All shared/server scripts have a convar to enable/disable them. Where relevant, these convars are replicated to the client, so the the server can easily disable them for both realms.

Unless otherwise stated, all config convars are:

• FCVAR_ARCHIVE'd
• Prefixed with cfc_gmodscripts_
• Default to 1 (enabled)
• Replicated to the client (for shared scripts)
