Little Lua Help believe its basic

[Swiftone]

So I've heard about servers having a painstation, as a traitor you can buy it. It looks just like a health station, but does damage instead. Ive been adding custom guns on my server and I thought this would be a great/easy addition. I thought it would be as easy as stealing the ttt_health_station shared.lua and switching out "health" for "damage". I tried messing around with it however I couldn't get it to work. Any help on this would be GREATLY appreciated! Here is the code for the health station, I only switched the name/role that can buy it, everything else is back to default. Again any contribution would make my day!

if SERVER then
AddCSLuaFile( "shared.lua" )

SWEP.HoldType = "normal"

if CLIENT then

};

SWEP.Icon = "VGUI/ttt/icon_health"

return false
end

function SWEP:OnRemove()
if CLIENT and ValidEntity(self.Owner) and self.Owner == LocalPlayer() and self.Owner:Alive() then

Where is ENT:OnUse()?

[_nonSENSE]

The SWEP creates an ent "ttt_health_station" (line 82). That's the ent you have to copy / edit.

[QUOTE=_nonSENSE;24909090]The SWEP creates an ent "ttt_health_station" (line 82). That's the ent you have to copy / edit.[/QUOTE]

That's what I thought I had to edit but I guess I didn't know what I was doing. What do I change it to?

And Nexus that code was the ttt_health_station shared.lua found in garrysmod/terrortown/entities/weapons/. Also I was wondering am I going to have to edit the ttt_health_station shared.lua found in garrysmod/terrortown/entities/entities/? I am not really sure what it is, most of the commands in it are ENT. or self.entity instead of SWEP. Is this what you are talking about?

[editline]03:43AM[/editline]

Ok I am pretty sure I have to edit both of these. What lines do I have to edit?
