Problem attempting to get the growing effect of the perp weed plant.
5 replies, posted
I'm working on making custom content for my DarkRP server, and ran into a problem creating the drug plant's "grow" effect of a PERP drug plant.
This is the error I get,
[ERROR] gamemodes/darkrp/entities/entities/plant_coca/init.lua:78: attempt to call method 'Grown' (a nil value)

Give up, or use aura system Garry added.
Why can't people use the help thread instead of making these useless threads that drown out the more useful threads?
This isn't to the fault of the glowing effect, it's you trying to port a Garry's Mod 12 over to DarkRP/pretending you are porting it to DarkRP; stop trying to defibrillate perp, just let it die.
I'm not at all trying to defibrillate PERP, I'm just asking how I can get the effect of it "growing." That was I can add a nice looking weed plant to my server along with other possible codes.
On a side note, I remember trying to ask for help a few times before on the help thread they never got answered, so I posted this here instead to save time of trying. Otherwise there should be a subsection to this section of facepunch for Lua Help (if I recall correctly there used to be one) instead of a thread where it's less likely lua problems will get answered, and is easier for people with problems in lua to see.
