I need small help with LUA. Please help only if you are good at LUA.

[xgdg]

Can anyone help me with LUA? I need simple melee weapon code on weapon_base base. I need SIMPLE melee weapon not on GDCW base or M9K base no on TTT Base but on default (weapon_base)! It needs to have already set damage, because i always had problem with setting damage. If i said something wrong, sorry, i am from Poland and i am bad at english.

Just inherit the weapon_base and change the [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Hold_Types"]hold type[/URL]. That will make a simple melee weapon.

But it has fists animations. I need crowbar anims.

I don't understand you, i don't understand internet! I just wanted weapon code, or even a attack function, i understand nothing from your reply. If you are experienced LUA scripter, making primary attack function wouldn't be so hard or be waste of time.

Sorry that this took a while, had to test some of the trace stuff.

local swingsound = "whatever.wav"
local hitsound = "whatever2.wav"

function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()
	self.Weapon:SetNextPrimaryFire( CurTime() + self.Primary.Delay )	-- No spam pls
	self.Weapon:EmitSound( swingsound )
	timer.Simple( 0.2, function()	-- Gives a grace period between the swing and the actual hit
		if IsValid( self ) and IsValid( self.Owner ) then	-- Time has passed; always check for validity after a timer
			self:Hit()	-- Here's where the magic happens
		end
	end )
	
	self.Weapon:SendWeaponAnim( ACT_VM_HITCENTER ) -- Dummy animation for what the weapon does in third person, act enums here: http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Enums/ACT
	self.Owner:SetAnimation( PLAYER_ATTACK1 ) -- Animation for first person
	
end

function SWEP:Hit()	-- Separate function for readability and code cleanliness
	if SERVER then -- For multiplayer; especially without lag compensation, traces will differ from client to server resulting in hits that should(n't) have passed
		pos = self.Owner:GetShootPos()
		ang = self.Owner:GetAimVector()
		me = self.Owner
		local hit = {}	-- Sets up tracing table to create range and position for hitting the entity. Angle and vector values good ranges, but definitely are configurable
		hit.start = pos
		hit.endpos = pos + ( ang * 70 )
		hit.filter = me
		hit.mins = Vector( -5, -5, 0 )
		hit.maxs = Vector(5, 5, 5)
		local trace = util.TraceHull( hit )	-- Do not use clientside, serverside will provide the hull trace of the weapon hit
		if trace.Hit then	-- If the weapon hits an object
			targ = trace.Entity	-- What did the weapon hit?
			if targ:IsPlayer() or targ:IsNPC() then	-- If it hit a player or NPC (living entities) ...
				self.Owner:EmitSound( hitsound )					
				paininfo = DamageInfo()				-- Calculates damage dealt and how it will be handled
				paininfo:SetDamage( self.Primary.Damage )
				paininfo:SetDamageType( DMG_CLUB ) -- or DMG_SLASH if you're making some kind of sharp weapon
				paininfo:SetAttacker( me )	-- I merely attacked the man...
				paininfo:SetInflictor( self.Weapon )	-- The weapon is who killed him
				paininfo:SetDamageForce( trace.Normal * 10000 )	-- Scales up normal (perpendicular) vector of the hit to create a realistic force
				targ:ViewPunch( Angle( -10, -20, 0 ) )	-- Shakes the swing, hitting people is hard work (optional, comment this line out if you don't want the shake)
			end
		end
	end
end

But... same problem! weapon doesn't take any damage!

[editline]27th February 2015[/editline]

I would write .exe file with notepad easier than setting damage for lua melee weapon!!!

Did you set the SWEP.Primary.Damage variable?

[xgdg]

Sure. I also had the same problem with my other abandoned SWEPs.
