Im trying to make a SWEP (I am a lua noob and I need help)

[aster!sk]

Im following this tutorial and its not working

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=600266572

SWEP.PrintName            = "Portal Gun Gun" -- This will be shown in the spawn menu, and in the weapon selection menu
SWEP.Author                = "aster!sk" -- These two options will be shown when you have the weapon highlighted in the weapon selection menu
SWEP.Instructions        = "Overpowered death machine!"

SWEP.Spawnable = true
SWEP.AdminOnly = true

SWEP.Primary.ClipSize        = 32
SWEP.Primary.DefaultClip    = 32
SWEP.Primary.Automatic        = false
SWEP.Primary.Ammo        = "Pistol"

SWEP.Primary.Sound = Sound("weapons/357_fire2.wav")
SWEP.Primary.TakeAmmo = 1
SWEP.Primary.Damage = 45
SWEP.Primary.Spread = 1
SWEP.Primary.NumberofShots = 4
SWEP.Primary.Recoil = 10
SWEP.Primary.Delay = 1
SWEP.Primary.Force = 1000

SWEP.Secondary.ClipSize        = -1
SWEP.Secondary.DefaultClip    = -1
SWEP.Secondary.Automatic    = false
SWEP.Secondary.Ammo        = "none"

SWEP.Weight            = 5
SWEP.AutoSwitchTo        = false
SWEP.AutoSwitchFrom        = false

SWEP.ViewModel            = "models/weapons/v_portalgun.mdl"

SWEP.SlotPos            = 1
SWEP.DrawAmmo            = true
SWEP.DrawCrosshair        = true

function SWEP:Initialize() A initialize code, mess with that only if you want to make a swep with swep creator.
    util.PrecacheSound(self.Primary.Sound)
    util.PrecacheSound(self.ReloadSound)
    self:SetWeaponHoldType( self.HoldType )
end

function SWEP:PrimaryAttack() Mess with this if you want a different attack function. Google is your best friend to have the knowledge for that.

    if ( !self:CanPrimaryAttack() ) then return end

    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 = 0
    bullet.Force = self.Primary.Force
    bullet.Damage = self.Primary.Damage
    bullet.AmmoType = self.Primary.Ammo

    local rnda = self.Primary.Recoil * -1
    local rndb = self.Primary.Recoil * math.random(-1, 1)

    self:ShootEffects()

    self.Owner:FireBullets( bullet )
    self:EmitSound(Sound(self.Primary.Sound))
    self.Owner:ViewPunch( Angle( rnda,rndb,rnda ) )
    self:TakePrimaryAmmo(self.Primary.TakeAmmo)

    self:SetNextPrimaryFire( CurTime() + self.Primary.Delay )
    self:SetNextSecondaryFire( CurTime() + self.Primary.Delay )
end

function SWEP:SecondaryAttack()
end

function SWEP:Reload()
    self:EmitSound(Sound(self.ReloadSound))
    self.Weapon:DefaultReload( ACT_VM_RELOAD );
end

What isn't working? Are you getting any errors?

You need to provide us more info if you want us to be able to help.

I can't give it to myself using the give command and it doesnt appear in the spawn menu.

Where did you place this swep?
It should be in: "/garrysmod/addons/YourAddon/lua/weapons/ClassNameOfYourWeapon/shared.lua"

And remember to add to the folder "YourAddon" file "addon.json".
Here you have how "addon.json" should look like: Workshop Addon Creation

i mean just looking at the code, you have uncommented comments.
