My swep doesn't believe it exists.

When I tried to do a trace off my weapon I got this:

weapons/be_binocs/shared.lua:75: attempt to index global 'self' (a nil value)

if SERVER then
	AddCSLuaFile("shared.lua")

	SWEP.PlayOnce = false
end

	local Pos1 = tr.HitPos


	self.ion = ents.Create("ion_caller")
	self.ion:SetVar("owner",self.Owner)
	self.ion:SetPos(Pos1)

end

As you can see I've done nothing wrong, as far as I know, why am I getting this error?!

[MakeR]

Is that code inside a SWEP function, eg SWEP:PrimaryAttack()?

[3mpty]

Yes.
It's in primaryattack.

In fact, I really should post the whole script.
One moment.

EDIT: Added.

There's a few functions missing, they're in the swep base (I made my own, and it works.)

[MakeR]

Make sure you did:
[lua]function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()[/lua]
not
[lua]function SWEP.PrimaryAttack()[/lua]

[3mpty]

Thank you! I never would have found that.

[MakeR]

Your'e welcome. :smile:

Still having issues :(

"ion" doesn't spawn, whatever I do.

[kevkev]

Can you spawn the ion entity with ent_create?

[3mpty]

It doesn't matter now since I made a more efficient swep.
