How to fix this LUA problem for Weapon Spawning

[ryanm2711]

Hello,

I'm making a script for gmod allowing you to spawn certain weapons for groups. I've already gotten this working but I want to do it with group tables and group weapons. The group table is working fine, just the weapon table.

The code: https://pastebin.com/8Li4yv69

[ERROR] addons/weaponspawning/lua/autorun/userloadout.lua:5: ')' expected near ','
  1. unknown - addons/weaponspawning/lua/autorun/userloadout.lua:0

You use {} for tables not ()

It fixed the issue but it will not spawn the desired weapon: weapon_stunstick

Two things:

1) Use the PlayerLoadout hook instead of playerspawn
2) Give() is to be used with a weapon, not a table of weapons, use a for loop here

[ryanm2711]

I have never done a loop before in LUA. Can you explain to me how?

Take a look at: https://gmod.facepunch.com/f/gmoddev/bsqte/Donator-Weapons/1/#postcvdovd

More specifically: Donator Weapons

my response includes several of my tutorials which show gun-race options, giving weapons, removing, upgrading, etc.... These should help you set up a script for handing out weapons based on group..

Note: Since it is for group - if on spawn use the PlayerLoadout hook but do NOT return any value... When you use hook.Add, other hooks run too - if you return a value then no other hooks will be called, including the original GM function...
