Lua Code Problem

[Hellspawn]

Hi, I just finished a simple SWep. I tried it out and it worked. Then i wanted to add a function that, when you press Primary/Secondary Fire + E (Use), switches between automatic firing for Primary/Secondary Fire. i did that but as i wanted to try it ingame, the SWep didn't show up in the menu. :(

here is the code of the function:

Primary:
[lua]function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()
if ( !self:CanPrimaryAttack() ) then return end

//SWEP Mode
if self.Owner:KeyDown(IN_USE) then
if self.Primary.Automatic == false then
self.Primary.Automatic = true
self.Weapon:EmitSound("weapons/smg1/switch_burst.wav")
else
self.Primary.Automatic = false
self.Weapon:EmitSound("weapons/smg1/switch_single.wav")
end
end
end[/lua]

Secondary:
[lua]function SWEP:SecondaryAttack()
if ( !self:CanPrimaryAttack() ) then return end

//SWEP Mode
if self.Owner:KeyDown(IN_USE) then
if self.Secondary.Automatic == false then
self.Secondary.Automatic = true
self.Weapon:EmitSound("weapons/smg1/switch_burst.wav")
else
self.Secondary.Automatic = false
self.Weapon:EmitSound("weapons/smg1/switch_single.wav")
end
end
end[/lua]

Is there something wrong?

[QUOTE=Willox;24588218]Any errors?[/QUOTE]

nope

this is what happened when i tried to run the shared.lua:

] lua_run "weapons/bestgun2/shared.lua"
> "weapons/bestgun2/shared.lua"...
:1: unexpected symbol near '"weapons/bestgun2/shared.lua"'

[SeveredSkull]

That... is called an error.

Translation : Thats quite a problem you got there , But what about using a true and false value and evertime you need to switch mode, do this :

[LUA]
local firemode = false

function change_firmode()
firemode = !firemode
end

function getfiremode()
if firemode = true then return "firemode1" else return "firmore2" end
end

you're doing it wrong.
lua_run is for lua commands.
try doing "lua_openscript "weapons/bestgun2/shared.lua""

This is what happens:

] lua_openscript "weapons/bestgun2/shared.lua"
Running script weapons/bestgun2/shared.lua...
lua\weapons\bestgun2\shared.lua:166: '<eof>' expected near 'end'

[adorablepuppy]

Sounds like you put an extra end in your script.

snipp

I removed the extra end and this is what happened:

] lua_openscript "weapons/bestgun2/shared.lua"
Running script weapons/bestgun2/shared.lua...
lua\weapons\bestgun2\shared.lua:1: attempt to index global 'SWEP' (a nil value)

[MegaJohnny]

Executing the SWEP script isn't what you want. If you want to give the gun to yourself, do "give bestgun2". If you want to apply the changes to the SWEP after editing the script while the game is running, do "lua_reloadents".

[lua]lua_run include("weapons/bestgun2/shared.lua")[/lua]

[Willox]

Use lua_reloadents for weapon reloading.

ok it worked but the SWep does not switch between automatic/non-automatic...
