Lua is weakly typed -- you can only declare a variable as local to the scope, not as a specific data type.

The type wouldn't even be right anyway, GetVelocity returns a vector.

change float to local

Thanks, I get a new error...

Hmmm 'e2' is nil makes no sense.... I guess this code isn't fixable.

[MeepDarknessM]

e1:IsPlayer()

sorry, was thinking of another function.

[QUOTE=thejjokerr;51842615]Both of you go read the wiki. I didn't even open the game and could read on the wiki that the filter function in util.TraceHull only is given 1 argument. Like I said in my last post.

Also not fixable? Nothing in programming is unfixable.

Here's a resource to get you off to the right start mate, take some time to read through it and you might learn ~something~:

Way to be an asshole, by the way I made this script for him on facepunch for free out of my own time almost exactly a year ago. No need to be a douche to him for not knowing what the code that I made, and am trying to help him does.

Go learn some manners.
