[PointShop] What does the ITEM.WeaponClass function do?

[allofmywut]

Currently using _Undefined's PS, and I'm trying to add weapons to the weapons tab. When I originally had the pointshop, the weapons in this tab weren't correct. The weapon name would say a rifle, but insead you would get a deagle. So I went through every weapon, checked the weapon I got, and the weapon name so I can simply go into the /garrysmod/addons/pointshop-master/lua/pointshop/items.weapons and change the ITEM.Name to what you were actually given.

So now I'm going to add more weapons (newton launcher, more secondaries, and primaries, etc), but I'm going back to the other examples and all of the ITEM.WeaponClass functions are different then what they should be. I can't find this function in the documentation on the PS site, and I'm not sure I wanna test out different names for files only to find out the WeaponClass is what causes it to break.

For example, here's my rifle, which shows a rifle in the pointshop, and it gives you a rifle when you buy it:

ITEM.Name = 'Rifle'
ITEM.Price = 100000
ITEM.Model = 'models/weapons/w_snip_scout.mdl'
ITEM.WeaponClass = 'weapon_357'
ITEM.SingleUse = true

function ITEM:OnBuy(ply)
	ply:Give(self.WeaponClass)
	ply:SelectWeapon(self.WeaponClass)
end

function ITEM:OnSell(ply)
	ply:StripWeapon(self.WeaponClass)
end

I was previously showing a deagle or some secondary weapon, but it gave me a rifle. So I changed the Model and Name, and made it work. But I left the WeaponClass alone.

Moving forward, what SHOULD the WeaponClass actually say? Or does this not matter?

That would be the actual weapon that is given when you buy the item.

I think this is the list of default weapons:
weapon_357
weapon_alyxgun
weapon_annabelle
weapon_ar2
weapon_brickbat
weapon_bugbait
weapon_citizenpackage
weapon_citizensuitcase
weapon_crossbow
weapon_crowbar
weapon_extinguisher
weapon_frag
weapon_physcannon
weapon_physgun
weapon_pistol
weapon_rpg
weapon_shotgun
weapon_smg1
weapon_stunstick

If you have a custom swep for that rifle, you would need to use the name of it under the ITEM.WeaponClass

So by default, "weapon_357" is a rifle? Not sure I'm understanding.

So if I wanted to do a TTT newton launcher, I would need to use "weapon_ttt_push" which is the file name for the Newton launcher under /garrysmod/gamemodes/terrortown/entities/weapons/push.lua

In theory this would work. But I'm not sure how the rifle works, or the other guns that have a mismatched WeaponClass

No, the 357 is a revolver, did you not buy the weapon to check???

The second part should work though.

No that's what I'm saying.. when I buy THIS particular item from the pointshop I get a rifle. But the weapon class, as you can see, is set to the weapon_357. So I'm saying, is the defauilt rifle described as a 357 (hangun)?

I bought the weapon already. Works fine now. But I would imagine the ITEM.WeaponClass would need to be "weapon_ttt_rifle" for it to functions properly. But for some reason, "weapon_357" works as a rifle too..

I'll go ahead and start using the "weapon_ttt_name" for the ITEM.WeaponClass, but I'm still puzzled as to how the defaulted items worked with such mismatched weaponclasses to begin with. I can grab the other weapon classes, if anyone wants to see.

UPDATE: I got everything working correctly with the models and the weapon class.

For anyone else looking for this help, you can use:

1. World.Model in the /garrysmod/gamemodes/terrortown/entities/weapons/weapon_name.lua file for the ITEM.Model which gives you what the model looks like in the PS
2. The root file name for the ITEM.WeaponClass. I previously created a file of names for another thread so you can find a list of file names in the below link.

To keep it all together, here's an example I added to my PS

ITEM.Name = 'Binoculars' --Display name
ITEM.Price = 1000000 --Price
ITEM.Model = 'models/props/cs_office/paper_towels.mdl' --What shows up in PS preview
ITEM.WeaponClass = 'weapon_ttt_binoculars' --The weapon itself that is received in inventory
ITEM.SingleUse = true --One time buy or perma

function ITEM:OnBuy(ply)
	ply:Give(self.WeaponClass)
	ply:SelectWeapon(self.WeaponClass)
end

function ITEM:OnSell(ply)
	ply:StripWeapon(self.WeaponClass)
end

Hope this helped anyone else.
