Entities not spawning

end
end

That's the primary attack code of my swep. All of this are punch codes, and all of them works fine.

But I'm trying to create a explosion when i punch. I made this code:

local explosion = ents.Create( "env_explosion" )
explosion:SetPos(trace.HitPos)
explosion:SetKeyValue( "iMagnitude" , "150" )
explosion:SetPhysicsAttacker(owner)
explosion:SetOwner(owner)
explosion:Spawn()
explosion:Fire("explode","",0)
explosion:Fire("kill","",0 )

But nothing happens. It doesn't spawn any explosion... Tried placing it everywhere, Can someone tell me why doesn't it work? :/

I tried placing it everywhere inside the primary attack code. But nothing happens...

explosion:SetPhysicsAttacker(owner)
explosion:SetOwner(owner)

In the code snippet you've given us self.Owner is defined, but owner is not. If that was your problem maybe you should check your console for errors next time. :smile:

There's nothing on the console, that's the problem.

If you're testing on a dedicated server you won't be able to see the server lua errors. Make sure to test in singleplayer too. But first check, was owner defined? Because that would be a problem if it wasn't :).

I have barely worked with effects so I'm not sure but maybe because you are instantly killing your explosion.
explosion:Fire("kill","",0 )

Nah that's fine. Depending on it's config it can even remove itself.

I have set the owner to "self.owner" (is this correct?) but it still don't spawn it.

[Kyuownz]

Made it work. But now the explosion is killing me. Is there a way to make it not deal damage?

EDIT: nevermind, made it stop killing me (i don't know how)
