SWEP Master Sword Error

[thegodfatha96]

I'm having an issue with a custom SWEP that I have added to pointshop. For some reason I get an error that states:

[B][ERROR] gamemodes/terrortown/entities/weapons/weapon_mastersword/shared.lua:206: attempt to index local 'self' (a nil value)
1. SecondaryAttackDelay - gamemodes/terrortown/entities/weapons/weapon_mastersword/shared.lua:206
2. unknown - gamemodes/terrortown/entities/weapons/weapon_mastersword/shared.lua:201. [/B]

I understand that it has some issue with the timer but not sure what to do. Please help!

Here is the SWEP file:

You're using the outdated timer syntax. On line 201, change
[lua]timer.Simple(0.2,self.SecondaryAttackDelay,self)[/lua]
to
[lua]timer.Simple(0.2, function() self.SecondaryAttackDelay() end)[/lua]

I used the new syntax that you posted; however, I get this error:

I assume it would require self.InAirDmg = 1 to be self.Weapon:InAirDmg = 1

[QUOTE=Nookyava;42825082]I assume it would require self.InAirDmg = 1 to be self.Weapon:InAirDmg = 1[/QUOTE]

Tried that and got this:

[ERROR] gamemodes/terrortown/gamemode/cl_wepswitch.lua:101: attempt to call method 'Ammo1' (a nil value)
1. DrawWeapon - gamemodes/terrortown/gamemode/cl_wepswitch.lua:101
2. Draw - gamemodes/terrortown/gamemode/cl_wepswitch.lua:155
3. unknown - gamemodes/terrortown/gamemode/cl_hud.lua:340

That has nothing to do with the weapon, it's from your cl_wepswitch TTT file.

[QUOTE=code_gs;42825335]That has nothing to do with the weapon, it's from your cl_wepswitch TTT file.[/QUOTE]

Any ideas of what I could do to get it working?

change

to
[lua]timer.Simple(0.2, function() self:SecondaryAttackDelay() end)[/lua]

( Note the symbol after self )
