Yes, this is happening with me. If I press E on a prop w/ the toolgun out, a few X's will show up but there is no grid, which is depressing me a lot because I'm a fairly terrible builder without it D:

ive tryed this but it didn't work but it might work for you. go to the library, right click garrys mod, go to propertys, and verify game catche. THIS MAY NOT FIX IT. but no harm in trying right?

I know why it's broken. -snip-. It came to my attention that SmartSnap worked fine until I installed a certain mod.

IF THE AUTHOR IS READING, DO THE FOLLOWING:
Change "/lua/autorun/client.lua" to "/lua/autorun/client/smartsnap.lua"
Change the include file to:
if SERVER then AddCSLuaFile("smartsnap.lua") return end


FIX'D. Reason: too many idiots -snip- made a client.lua inside autorun.

Try breaking that down to steps and terms i can understand, i don't speak .lua

The gist of it: in GMod, addons stack on top of eachother. Since Quake, the term for this has been "VFS" or "Virtual File System".

If two addons have the same file, what does GMod do? It picks the last one that was stacked, that's what. This is normal. In fact, most VFS's do that. It's almost like a standard.

What's the problem with this addon?
Nothing. It's just that one of the files in it are called "/lua/autorun/client.lua".

So what the f*ck is breaking it?
There are about 2309582096802385623 other mods that also happen to have a "/lua/autorun/client.lua". I'm exaggerating with the numbers, of course, but you get the point...

Why is everyone calling the entry point of their mod client.lua inside autoexec?
I don't know, but it's a cancer. If people continue to do this, no addons will work together. My guess is that a lot of people are following some old-ass tutorial, and are too lazy to name their files creatively.

To make it work, extract "/lua/autorun/client.lua" from this mod (I assume you know how to use GMad or something), put it in your gmod folder accordingly (again, into /lua/autorun/) and rename it to something like client203597890238hahaha.lua.

REMEMBER: Whatever you rename it to, you must also change inside the lua file. There's a line that says AddCSLuaFile("client.lua"). If you used my file name, then you must of course change it to AddCSLuaFile("client203597890238hahaha.lua").

Oh yeah, and remember, until the author fixes this himself, every time he updates this mod, you must extract, copy and rename all over again, since the file might change. Remember to delete the old copy too -.0

Whoa, I didn't realize how long I explained...

SHORT SHORT VERSION: There are other addons overriding one of the files from this one, because the file name is overused. Phew. There.

I disabled all my addons and smartsnap doesnt work still...

Unfortunetly, thats a soultion i will probably never use unless i KNOW the games files are damaged. Verifing the games cache is one of those so-called miracle "fix all" soutions. Unfortuntely, those soultions seldom work.

This addon works if you redownload it! Atleast it worked on me :D
