Can you run GiveAmmo in a SWEP? just wondering

[ricesoda]

My SWEP has it so if you pick up a "PSI Hypo", it goes to a seperate ammo counter alongside "Psychic Points". When you use your attack, the psyshic points are depleted. But then you can click right-click to use a PSI-Hypo and regain your psychic points using GiveAmmo.

It does work in multiplayer, however it always gives a lua error that reads the following:

[ERROR] addons/psionicpowers/lua/weapons/psi_staticburst/shared.lua:386: attempt to call method 'GiveAmmo' (a nil value)
  1. unknown - addons/psionicpowers/lua/weapons/psi_staticburst/shared.lua:386

im not sure if running GiveAmmo in a SWEP is efficent after this. any alternatives i should know about?

Maybe you are trying to add it to the SWEP, not the player. Post your code.

Most likely your code is ran on the client too.

local wep = self.Weapon
local ply = self.Owner

if self.Owner:GetAmmoCount( self.Weapon:GetSecondaryAmmoType() ) <= 0 then
ply:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK, "You are out of PSI Hypos")
return true end

if self.Owner:GetAmmoCount( "psi_psychpoints" ) >= 250 then
ply:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK, "Your Psionic energy is already at it's maximum")
return true end

ply:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK, "PSI Hypo used")
ply:GiveAmmo( 50, "psi_psychpoints", true )
ply:EmitSound("player/suit_sprint.wav")
wep:TakeSecondaryAmmo(self.Secondary.TakeAmmo)
end

GiveAmmo is serverside only.

thank you. I fixed it by putting "if SERVER then" before all the code. It also fixed another problem where the printmessages were repeated.
