Addon Development Workflow\r

When creating a GMod addon, follow these steps:\r

1. Conceptualization\r
   • Define the addon’s purpose and features.\r
   • Identify target audience and use cases.\r
2. Lua Scripting\r
   • Structure: Follow the file organization patterns defined in addon-structure.\r
   • Core Concepts: Use gmod-lua-states to understand strictly defined Server/Client/Shared realms.\r
   • Specific API Lookup Rule:\r
     • STRICT PROHIBITION: You are FORBIDDEN from constructing URLs by guessing (e.g., Do NOT try wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/hook). Most guessed URLs are 404 errors.\r
     • Action Sequence:\r
       1. Search Query: If you have a search tool, use query "gmod wiki \x3Cterm>" first to extract the correct URL.\r
       2. Navigation: If you must browse manually, you just fetch url and search the content,the url is https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod and the search term is the API or concept you want to find. Do NOT guess URLs.\r
       3. Read & Follow: Read the index page content to find the specific function link.\r
3. Content Creation\r
   • Create or source models, textures, sounds, and other assets as needed for the addon.\r
   • Ensure all content is properly licensed for use in your addon.\r
   • Ensure content is optimized for performance and compatibility.\r
4. Testing and Debugging\r
   • Tell user to test the addon in-game to identify and fix bugs or issues.\r
   • See the common-issues reference for common problems and solutions during addon development.\r
