Noob weapon help

[Xelander]

I'm making a SWEP, but it dosn't show up in the weapon tab.

Why not?

The Lua code:

if ( SERVER ) then

AddCSLuaFile( "shared.lua" )

SWEP.HoldType = "pistol"

end

if ( CLIENT ) then

SWEP.PrintName = "G18"
SWEP.Author = "NinjaCat"
SWEP.Purpose = "Shoot stuff"
SWEP.Instructions = "Ever hold a gun on gmod? Use it like that one."
SWEP.Slot = 3
SWEP.SlotPos = 1
SWEP.IconLetter = "e"

killicon.AddFont( "weapon_pistol", "CSKillIcons", SWEP.IconLetter, Color( 255, 80, 0, 255 ) )

end

SWEP.DrawCrosshair = true
SWEP.DrawAmmo = true

SWEP.Spawnable = true
SWEP.AdminSpawnable = true

SWEP.ViewModel = "models/weapons/v_pist_glock18.mdl"
SWEP.WorldModel = "models/weapons/w_pist_glock18.mdl"

SWEP.Weight = 5
SWEP.AutoSwitchTo = false
SWEP.AutoSwitchFrom = false


SWEP.Primary.Recoil = 5
SWEP.Primary.Damage = 21
SWEP.Primary.NumShots = 1
SWEP.Primary.Cone = 0
SWEP.Primary.ClipSize = 20
SWEP.Primary.Delay = 2
SWEP.Primary.DefaultClip = 1
SWEP.Primary.Automatic = true
SWEP.Primary.Ammo = "smg1"

function SWEP:Initialize()

local sound = Sound("sound/clong-2.mp3")

   ent:EmitSound( sound )
util.PrecacheSound("Weapon_pist_glock18.Single")
end




function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()


if ( !self:CanPrimaryAttack() ) then return end

self.Weapon:EmitSound(Sound("Weapon_pist_glock18.Single"))

self:ShootBullet( 100, 1, 0 )

self:TakePrimaryAmmo( 1 )

self.Owner:ViewPunch( Angle( -1, 0, 0 ) )
self.Weapon:SetNextPrimaryFire( CurTime() + 0.1 )if (SERVER) then
local owner=self.Owner


if self.Owner.SENT then
owner=self.Owner.SENT.Entity
end

end

I bet it's something simple. :o

Launch the game, and look in the console. There should be some lua errors if it's installed right. Put those here, if you can't figure it out yourself.

[Chad Mobile]

I think you have either an extra 'end' or you're missing one.

[-TB-]

You are missing an end at the very bottom.

[Xelander]

Ah, thanks, I'll test it out. :P

Edit:
Well, It worked, but Allways an error comes up, or it dosn't show up in the list.
I tryed alot, but I can't get it to work.
I belive it was something around line 51, The emit sound thing.

AddCSLuaFile( "shared.lua" )

Bump 4 answear and probly a ban.

[yakahughes]

If it was an error then post the error or we can't help.

[noparse]Also, use [lua] and [/lua] tags for lua code, not

tags.[/noparse]

[-TB-]

well using Sound() starts in the sound directory so you do not need sound/

Also this part seems unneeded and I suspect it might cause an error

if (SERVER) then
local owner=self.Owner


if self.Owner.SENT then
owner=self.Owner.SENT.Entity
end

end

Because I dont think self.Owner.SENT even exists.

You forgot an if an a then.

 if  !self.weapon:EmitSound( sound ) then

Thanks, I'll see if it helps!
It helped alot!
It works and stuff, onlyt problem is there is no sound effects...
Due to the fact I'm a noob I have no idea why, And no errors.

I already said this.

local sound = Sound("clong-2.mp3")

Edit* hmm I'm not sure but I think it has to be a .wav file also.

[Xelander]

Allright, I'll test
