How can i test if a player is crouching

[Virus78]

Basically what i want to do is make a SWEP Knife that works like the css knife but when you crouch your material is set to the predator one and the player is set to 50% alpha i can do the colour and material i just dont know how to make the weapon know if your croutching

Can this be done?

[lua]function SWEP:Think()
if self.Owner:Crouching() == true then
self.Owner:SetColor(255,255,255,255/2)
self.Owner:SetMaterial("predatormaterial.vtf")
end
end[/lua]

Something like that.

Ok thanks i finished the SWEP but framerates drop to about 15-20 fps when you croutch any idea why this is happening?

EDIT:- Ok i fixed the framerates it turned out i put the path in wrong ok now the problem is that when you die or if your not croutching / have the wepon equipped you stay stuck with the material and colour how can i reset the defualt material if the croutching return false

[lua]
function SWEP:Think()
if self.Owner:Crouching() == false then
self.Owner:SetColor(255,255,255,255)
--What do i do to this?
self.Owner:SetMaterial("models/shadertest/predator")
end
end
[/lua]

EDIT:- Worked it out i just leave it as "" now the only problem is if your coutching but not holding the knife

this is my code at the moment

[lua]
function SWEP:Think()
if self.Owner:Crouching() == true then
self.Owner:SetColor(255,255,255,255/2)
self.Owner:SetMaterial("models/shadertest/predator")
else
self.Owner:SetColor(255,255,255,255)
self.Owner:SetMaterial("")
end
end
[/lua]

Umm, try this:

[lua]function SWEP:Think()
if self.Owner:GetActiveWeapon():GetClass() == "weapon_predknife" then
if self.Owner:Crouching() == true then
self.Owner:SetColor(255,255,255,255/2)
self.Owner:SetMaterial("models/shadertest/predator")
else
self.Owner:SetColor(255,255,255,255)
self.Owner:SetMaterial("")
end
end
end[/lua]

Just substitute "weapon_predknife" with the classname.

yea that worked thanks is there a way i can make you jump higher aswell if your holding it? but not using gravity because i would want it to jump just as fast and fall just as fast maybe like 4 times the regular jump height

EDIT:- Found SetJumpPower my swep is now finished :D

EDIT2:-
Would this work
[lua]
function SWEP:Think()
if self.Owner:GetActiveWeapon():GetClass() == "weapon_asblade" then
if self.Owner:KeyDown( IN_SPEED ) then
self.Owner:SetJumpPower( 560 )
else
self.Owner:SetJumpPower( 160 )
end
end
end
[/lua]
