GMOD Swep Code Error

[bosnian_cyco]

Ok, so heres my issue-

I was coding a SWEP and like always was working with the GDCW base, more specifically, the GDCW pistol base.
When I was finished, I got the following error while I was testing it. This error just floods my console.

[ERROR] addons/#cz75/lua/weapons/gdcw_base_pistol/shared.lua:230: attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'ConeDecrement' (a nil value)
1. unknown - addons/#cz75/lua/weapons/gdcw_base_pistol/shared.lua:230

When I went to inspect the code, I saw nothing wrong with it. Maybe you guys can help me out? Here is the code that is giving me errors. Line 230 is the specific line causing problems.

function SWEP:Think()

self:IronSight()
if !self.Owner:IsNPC() then
if self.Idle and CurTime() >= self.Idle then
self.Idle = nil
self:SendWeaponAnim(ACT_VM_IDLE)
end end

if (self.Primary.Cone>0.09) then
self.Primary.Cone = self.Primary.Cone - self.Primary.ConeDecrement end

end

Here is a link to the entire base code-

Thanks guys :)

wrong section, there's gmod dev for this

I'll help you anyways though I guess

if you look in the script, "self.Primary.ConeDecrement" isn't defined anywhere, and then on line 230, you just use it, breaking the script.

"attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'ConeDecrement' (a nil value)"
it cannot do maths on/with something that doesn't exist

edit:
also try to put code in code tags at least please

like

function SWEP:Think()

    self:IronSight()
    if !self.Owner:IsNPC() then
        if self.Idle and CurTime() >= self.Idle then
            self.Idle = nil
            self:SendWeaponAnim(ACT_VM_IDLE)
        end 
    end

    if (self.Primary.Cone>0.09) then
        self.Primary.Cone = self.Primary.Cone - self.Primary.ConeDecrement 
    end
end

you did a good job by posting a paste to the whole code though, thank fuck

No, just define ConeDecrement at the beginning of the file, and mess with values until you have the desired effect.
