I have a great issue in charge-up SWEP.

[xgdg]

So... I made a code that makes weapon fire with a delay (Charge-up). It works well besides the fact that i can't see the projectile traces when shooting. Without timed shots traces were visible.

function SWEP:FireProj()
local bullet = {} 
bullet.Num = self.Primary.NumberofShots 
bullet.Src = self.Owner:GetShootPos() 
bullet.Dir = self.Owner:GetAimVector() 
bullet.Spread = Vector( self.Primary.Spread * 0.1 , self.Primary.Spread * 0.1, 0)
bullet.Tracer = 1
bullet.TracerName = "ToolTracer"
bullet.Force = 2
bullet.Damage = 300
bullet.AmmoType = self.Primary.Ammo 

local rnda = self.Primary.Recoil * -1 
local rndb = self.Primary.Recoil * math.random(-0.1, 0.1) 
util.ScreenShake( self.Owner:GetPos(), 2000, 1, 2, 50 )
self:ShootEffects()
self.Owner:FireBullets( bullet ) 
self:EmitSound( shootsound )
self.Owner:ViewPunch( Angle( rnda,rndb,rnda ) ) 
self:TakePrimaryAmmo(self.Primary.TakeAmmo) 
end

function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()
   if ( !self:CanPrimaryAttack() ) then return
    end
self:SetNextPrimaryFire( CurTime() + 5 )
self:EmitSound("weapons/cguard/charging.wav")
if self.Owner:IsValid() and self.Owner:GetActiveWeapon():GetClass() == "weapon_ion_handheld" then
timer.Create( "Chargeup", 1, 1, function() self:FireProj() end )
end
end

Using FireBullets in a timer ruins lag compensation which probably screws with the tracer effect. Track the time in a Think hook instead.

is there a possiblity to run it without lag compensation? Timer simple also failed.

It uses lag compensation internally. Just use a Think hook to track it -- don't use timers for predicted functions.

Could you give an example?

      self.m_bShouldFire = false
      self:FireProj()
   end

function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()
   -- Stuff
   self.m_bShouldFire = true
   self.m_flFireTime = CurTime() + 1

Now it detected <eof> on empty line ;_;

Post your full code.

Now it works fine, thanks a lot, scripting hero.
