Weapon viewmodel animation

[Robert64]

I have a melee SWEP using the crowbar model, and I want it to swing when the user attacks. The world model swings fine, but the first person viewmodel doesn't budge. This is the code I use for both:
[lua]self.Owner:SetAnimation( PLAYER_ATTACK1 )
self.Weapon:SendWeaponAnim( ACT_VM_SWINGMISS )[/lua]

[disseminate]

Is line 2 on the client?

[Robert64]

Yes

[Gbps]

2nd line should be in shared.lua.

It was, but it was after a check to make sure it was the server that was executing it. This is the primary attack function now:
[lua]function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()

if CurTime() > self.NextHit then

self.Weapon:EmitSound( "Weapon_Crowbar.Single" )
self.Owner:SetAnimation( PLAYER_ATTACK1 )
self.Weapon:SendWeaponAnim( ACT_VM_SWINGMISS )

if !SERVER then return end

local trace = self.Owner:GetEyeTrace();
if trace.HitPos:Distance( self.Owner:GetShootPos() ) <= 48 then
if string.sub( trace.Entity:GetClass(), 1, 4 ) == "krp_" then
local cash = ply_getVal( self.Owner, 2 ) - 50
if trace.Entity:GetEntHealth() != 0 and trace.Entity:GetEntHealth() != trace.Entity:GetEntMaxHealth() and cash >= 0 then
self.Owner:EmitSound( "ItemBattery.Touch" );
trace.Entity:SetEntHealth( trace.Entity:GetEntHealth() + 20 )
ply_setVal( self.Owner, 2, cash )
elseif cash < 0 then
self.Owner:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "Not enough money!" )
end
end
end

self.NextHit = CurTime() + .75

end
end[/lua]

I still have this problem.

I've seen custom melee sweps use the crowbar or stunstick, so this must be possible.
