SWEP help.

How do you make it so when a guy shoots a guy, it ignites him for 2 seconds?

If you want someone to code for you go to coderhire. Otherwise I suggest looking at ttt's flare gun code.

I asked for help, This is the dev section, Dont start a flame, pls. I'm not going on coderhire to pay someone 50 dollars just to write 3 simple lines, when i can ask on a free website.

In the PrimaryAttack of the SWEP you would ignite its Owner.

self.Owner:Ignite(3)

EDIT: For the lulz I decided to actually make this (save it lua/weapons/wt_backfiregun.lua)

[lua]
/* I copied the skeleton of this from the flechette gun, and changed it to set the owner on fire. Simple. Whiterabbit */

Lol I just re-read the OP and don't know why I thought you wanted it to ignite the owner. Did you?

If you wanted it to ignite the person that GOT shot, in the PrimaryAttack of the SWEP you can [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/util/GetPlayerTrace"]perform a trace[/URL] and if it hits a player (and they are within range), ignite them as shown above.

Ugh, i still dont know how to implement this, lmao.
