Help with making a config in one file.

[brianm109]

I'm trying to make a config in one file, but when I use variables, it works in the beginning then stops working later on setting all the variables to 0. Please help me! Thanks in advance.

A little more information would be helpful. What does the file structure for the addon look like or are you talking about a singular file? If it's a singular file posting the config code would be useful.

Use include or AddCsFile

[brianm109]

Including and/or addcsluafile both didn't work, and here is the
init.lua

AddCSLuaFile( "cl_init.lua" )
AddCSLuaFile( "shared.lua" )
AddCSLuaFile("autorun/config.lua")
include( "shared.lua" )
include("autorun/config.lua")
function ENT:Initialize()
    self:SetNWInt ( "time", WM_crusherTime )
    self:SetNWInt ( "maxgrapes", WM_maxGrapes )

    self:PhysicsInit (SOLID_VPHYSICS)
    self:SetMoveType(MOVETYPE_VPHYSICS)
    self:SetSolid(SOLID_VPHYSICS)
    self:SetNWInt ( "grapes", 0 )
    self:SetNWInt ( "MaxTime", self:GetNWInt ( "time" ) )
    self:SetNWInt( "status", 0 )
    self:SetNWInt( "must", 1 )
end

function ENT:SpawnFunction (ply, tr)
    local spawnPos = tr.HitPos + tr.HitNormal *16
    local ent = ents.Create ( "wm_crusher" )
    ent:SetPos(spawnPos)
    ent:Spawn()
    ent:Activate()
    return ent
end
local effectData = EffectData()
function ENT:PhysicsCollide(data, phys)
    if ( ( data.DeltaTime > 0 ) and ( data.HitEntity:GetClass() == "wm_grapes" ) and self:GetNWInt ( "grapes" ) < WM_maxGrapes ) then 
        self:SetNWInt ( "grapes", self:GetNWInt ( "grapes" ) + 1 )
        data.HitEntity:Remove()
    end
end
function ENT:OnTakeDamage(dmginfo)
    effectData:SetStart(self:GetPos())
    effectData:SetOrigin(self:GetPos())
    effectData:SetScale(1)
    util.Effect( "watersplash", effectData )
    self:Remove()
end
function ENT:Think ()
    if ((!self.nextCrush or CurTime() >= self.nextCrush) and (self:GetNWInt ( "grapes" ) == WM_maxGrapes)) then	
        self:SetNWInt("time", math.Clamp (self:GetNWInt ("time") - 1, 0, self:GetNWInt ( "MaxTime" ) ))
        self.nextCrush = CurTime() + 1
        if (self:GetNWInt("time") == 0) and (self:GetNWInt("status") == 0) then
            self:SetNWInt("status", 2)
        end
    end

    if (self:GetNWInt("status") == 2) then 
        self:SetNWInt("must", 0)

        cam.End3D2D()
    end
end

config.lua

WM_crusherTime = 60
//How long in seconds you have to wait for the crusher to be ready
WM_maxGrapes = 5
//How many grapes you need to put in the crusher for the timer to start

Also there is an error that says
[ERROR] addons/wine/lua/entities/wm_crusher/init.lua:29: attempt to compare number with nil
1. unknown - addons/wine/lua/entities/wm_crusher/init. lua:29
The error is saying my '>' comparison which is comparing a NWInt and a variable defined in the config. The variable is nil proven by the error.

I'm having the same problem and idk how to fix it.

[XxLMM13xXx]

put your config in addonname/lua/config.lua then make a load file like this

addonname/lua/autorun/addonname_load.lua and in it put this

if (SERVER) then
	AddCSLuaFile("config.lua")
	include("config.lua")
end

if (CLIENT) then
	include("config.lua")
end

[MelonShooter]

Didn't work. Anyone else?

[Klaes4Zaugen]

Don't use Networked variables please. Use NetworkVars

[QUOTE=MelonShooter;50329271]Didn't work. Anyone else?[/QUOTE]

That does work. If it doesn't work for you you're doing something wrong, so instead of saying "Didn't work", why don't you supply us with the code and file locations so we can help you?
