NetworkVar doesn't seem to want to cooperate.

[DaneSomdahl]

Basically, NetworkVar isn't doing anything but being a fat ugly bitch.
I'm rewriting this thread a 2nd time because for some reason my browser crashed, and I'm sort of stressed out atm so I'm in no mood to deal with this.

This is my problem:
[lua]function SWEP:SetupDataTables( )

local t_Index = 0;
local t_Vars = {};

t_Vars["ConeDefault"] = { "Float", self.Primary.Spread };
t_Vars["Cone"] = { "Float", t_Vars["ConeDefault"] };

t_Vars["RecoilDefault"] = { "Float", self.Primary.Recoil };
t_Vars["Recoil"] = { "Float", t_Vars["RecoilDefault"] };

t_Vars["Silenced"] = { "Bool", false };
t_Vars["SilencedID"] = { "String", "nil" };

for t_Variable, t_Value in pairs( t_Vars ) do

self:NetworkVar( self, t_Value[1], t_Index, t_Variable );
self[ "Set" .. t_Variable ]( t_Value[ 2 ] );
t_Index = t_Index + 1;

end

end[/lua]

NetworkVar():
[lua] self.NetworkVar = function( ent, typename, index, name )

ent.DTVar( ent, typename, index, name )

ent[ 'Set' .. name ] = function( self, value )
self.dt[name] = value
end

ent[ 'Get' .. name ] = function( self )
return self.dt[name]
end

end[/lua]

Spamming in the console:

Obviously the problem here is that the functions aren't being created, and I have no idea why they aren't.

I've also tried creating my own array as SWEP.Data = {}; and I had problems with variables being synchronized with the server.

Basically if I did that, sometimes if I toggled a variable or set one to something else, it wouldn't change serverside but it would clientside, and vise verse; causing issues.

[lua]
self:NetworkVar( self, t_Value[1], t_Index, t_Variable );
[/lua]
When you use self:function self is already passed as the first value, it's redundant to have it in the arguments as it'll break the function.
[lua]
self:NetworkVar(t_Value[1], t_Index, t_Variable );
[/lua]

Which causes

Why such convoluted code?

function SWEP:SetupDataTables()

	self:NetworkVar( "Float", 0, "Cone" );
	self:NetworkVar( "Float", 1, "Recoil" );
	self:NetworkVar( "Bool", 0, "Silenced" );

end

function SWEP:Initialize()

	if( SERVER ) then

		self:SetCone( self.Primary.Spread );
		self:SetRecoil( self.Primary.Recoil );
		self:SetSilenced( false );

	end

end

Because I have an obsession with automation. :/ Thanks I'll see if this will work.

Oh by the way, the reason why there are two variables for the Cone and Recoil is because I couldn't keep the original values once they were changed. C:

[editline]Derp[/editline] I feel silly, it worked.

Funny how I make simple things overly complicated and wonder why I always stress myself out.
