How do you emit a particle when using a SWEP? for example emit a fire when shooting
util.Effect + a Lua effect is the best way.

Ok thanks. Btw do you happen to know how to see why the weapon isn't showing up in spawn menu?

Have you put it in a category? Or are there any errors?
You should use [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/WEAPON/ShootEffects]SWEP:ShootEffects[/url] to create the muzzle flares.

Even easier, have you set SWEP.Spawnable to true?
[QUOTE=Promptitude;49544684]Have you set it's PrintName?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=keeperman;49544691]yea in cl_init[/QUOTE]
So it has a category or not? Usually you should set one :P

it has a category but nothing is showing up in spawn menu
[QUOTE=keeperman;49544715]it has a category but nothing is showing up in spawn menu[/QUOTE]
What's the name of the category?
Is it laid out like:
[CODE]SWEP.Author = "Your Name"
SWEP.Contact = "Your Email Address"
SWEP.Purpose = "What your SWep does."
SWEP.Instructions = "How to operate your SWep"
//The category that you SWep will be shown in, in the Spawn (Q) Menu
//(This can be anything, GMod will create the categories for you)
SWEP.Category = "Category"
SWEP.Spawnable = true -- Whether regular players can see it
SWEP.AdminOnly = true -- Whether Admins/Super Admins can see it
SWEP.ViewModel = "models/weapons/v_RPG.mdl" -- This is the model used for clients to see in first person.
SWEP.WorldModel = "models/weapons/w_rocket_launcher.mdl" -- This is the model shown to all other clients and in third-person.
[/CODE]

I just updated it as I found another error. Try it now.[/QUOTE]
Hm, still nothing
[QUOTE=keeperman;49544850]Hm, still nothing[/QUOTE]
Can you show me your init.lua?
[QUOTE=Promptitude;49544869]Can you show me your init.lua?[/QUOTE]
of course
[code]AddCSLuaFile( "cl_init.lua" )
AddCSLuaFile( "shared.lua" )
include('shared.lua')
SWEP.Weight = 5
SWEP.AutoSwitchTo = false
SWEP.AutoSwitchFrom = false[/code]
Are there still no errors? I'm really confused as to why this isn't working. Where are you looking to find the swep?

in spawn menu (under weapons tab)
[QUOTE=keeperman;49544888]in spawn menu (under weapons tab)[/QUOTE]
Could you paste all of your swep's code? Shared, init, and cl_init all in different blocks?
I can show the majority of them
shared:

function SWEP:Primary()
end
function SWEP:Reload()
end
function SWEP:Think()
end[/code]
cl_init

SWEP.SlotPos = 99
SWEP.DrawAmmo = false

I updated the code before, put it in again and tell me the results.
