I've been having trouble with ents.FindInCone, I've been messing with it for like 2 hours and can't get it to work.. I have no idea how it works. It's just really weird, it would do things that make no sense. I've been searching and searching and I couldn't find anything of help besides that one wiki page, which doesn't work.
Here is the math on the wiki page, which I'm guessing I should use, but I can't get it to work either.
[lua]
local DistV=E:GetPos()-vPos
if
DistV:Dot(vDir) > fDistance -- the plane
and
DistV:Length() < fRadius -- the sphere
then add_to_list(E) end
[/lua]
Here's my fail train of code:
[lua]
function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()
if SERVER then
self.Weapon:SetNextPrimaryFire(CurTime() + 0.3)
local ConeEnts = ents.FindInCone(self.Owner:GetPos(),self.Owner:GetAimVector(),300,243) --Defined
for i,ent in pairs(ConeEnts) do --All of them?
if ent:IsValid() and ent:IsPlayer() then
if ent!=self.Owner then
ent:SetHealth(ent:Health()+8) --Heal him
self.Owner:SetHealth(self.Owner:Health()+3)
self.Owner:EmitSound(ShootSound) end --Sound. DW about it.
if ent:Health()>ent:GetMaxHealth() then ent:SetHealth(ent:GetMaxHealth()) end
if self.Owner:Health()>self.Owner:GetMaxHealth() then self.Owner:SetHealth(self.Owner:GetMaxHealth()) end
end end end end
[/lua]
Here's what I'm trying to get it to do:

What was the error code it looks like you have to many ends
No error. It just doesn't work. And no, I have enough ends.
edit: I hadn't checked this page in 3 hours, I randomly decide to and it says someone posted 1 minute ago. The odds!?! I must be [img_thumb] http://planetsmilies.net/msn-smiley-6661.gif [/img_thumb]
