Trying to use weapons.Register~ no success in registry

[zzaacckk]

[lua]
// passed item model is models/healthvial.mdl
// passed item name is item_health_vial

weapons.Register({
Base = "weapon_base",
Author = "SourceTribe Development Team",
Contact = "sourcetribe.co.uk",
Purpose = "",
Instructions = "",

ViewModel = item.model,
WorldModel = item.model,

Slot = 3,
SlotPos = 2,

PrimaryAttack = function(self)
if SERVER && item.removeOnUse then
self.Owner:StripWeapon("weapon_iWep_" .. item.name);
print("used item");
end

item.onUse();
end,

SecondaryAttack = function(self)
if SERVER then
self.Owner:StripWeapon("weapon_iWep_" .. item.name);

local inv = InvObject:setup();
inv:assignPlayer(self.Owner);
inv:addItem(item.name);

print("put into backpack");
end
end,
},"weapon_iWep_" .. item.name,false);
[/lua]

The following code prints a pointer to a table.
[lua]
print(weapons.Stored("weapon_iWep_item_health_vial"));
[/lua]

The following code prints "Attempted to create unknown entity type"
[lua]
players.GetAll()[1]:Give("weapon_iWep_item_health_vial")
[/lua]

Any clue whats wrong or what to try to fix it?

Why are you using [B]weapons.Register()[/B]? Why can't you create a swep folder with a shared script inside?

I don't want to have to create multiple weapons like that, that will all be so similar.

[TheFreeman193]

Okay, I can't guarentee the SWEP itself will work, but to register a weapon like that i usually do it in this format:

[lua]
local SWEP = weapons.Get("weapon_base") --Or any other base

--Create SWEP as you would in shared.lua here
SWEP.PrintName = "Name"
--Other shared stuff
if SERVER then
SWEP.Weight = 5
--Other serverside stuff
elseif CLIENT then
SWEP.DrawCrosshair = true
--Other clientside stuff
end

function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()

end

-- etc --

weapons.Register(SWEP, "weapon_name", true)
[/lua]
