"Lua Noob Alert: Help with Basic Animations in GMod!"

[wsl2008]

"Hey guys, I'm new to Lua and trying to get into GMod scripting. I've managed to set up a basic entity but I'm stuck on getting some animations to work. Can anyone help me out with the syntax and whatnot for playing animations on entities?"

"Hey mate, what's your Lua skill level? If you're totally new to it, there's some awesome beginner tutorials on YouTube for GMod animations, might be worth checking out"

Yeah, I've dabbled with GMod scripting and animations are a bit of a pain at first. Can you tell us a bit more about what you're trying to animate and the specific issues you're running into?

"Lol sounds like a classic noob moment. Have you checked out the official Lua API docs? They've got a ton of info on animating entities, should be super helpful."

"Hey, check out the Garry's Mod subreddit, they got some sick tutorials on animations. Also, the Lua Wiki is your friend, it's got some in-depth guides on the basics and how to use functions like `CreateSprite`."

"Hey OP, what kinda animations you tryin' to create? GMod's got a wicked lua API, if you're new to it, I'd recommend checkin' out some tutorials on the official wiki or YouTube for some basic examples to get you started"
