First SWEP not working and can't find a solution

[BAVikingNinja]

I'm trying to make my first SWEP for TTT and I keep getting the error

[ERROR] gamemodes/terrortown/entities/weapons/weapon_ttt_test/shared.lua:23: attempt to index global 'SWEP' (a nil value)
1. fn - gamemodes/terrortown/entities/weapons/weapon_ttt_test/shared.lua:23
2. unknown - addons/ulib/lua/ulib/shared/hook.lua:183

Thanks for helping and forgive me for my lack of GMod Lua

if SERVER then
   AddCSLuaFile( "shared.lua" )
end

SWEP.HoldType = "pistol"

   SWEP.ViewModelFlip = false

   SWEP.EquipMenuData = {
      type = "The Incinerator",
      desc = "1 Shot. 100 Dmg. Disguises Kill. Use Wisely."
   };
   
   function KeyPressed(pl, k)
      if (k == IN_SPEED) then
		 SWEP.PrintName = nil
         SWEP.PrintName = weps[n]
         n = n + 1
         if n == #weps + 1 then
            n = 0
         end
      end
   end
   hook.Add("KeyPress", "KeyPressedHook", KeyPressed)
   
   
   SWEP.Icon = "VGUI/ttt/icon_deagle.vmt"
end

You can't access the SWEP table like that. It gets removed as soon as server starts, after actually loading the weapons.

Also, what you are trying to do is a very bad idea, use multiple sweps, don't try to put all sweps into one swep.

No, I'm trying to change the name so it can disguise the cause of death for the player (I don't intend for this to be the final method of how I do it)

Also, how should I try to change the PrintName when the player presses a certain key then?

Anyone else willing to help? :(

Use self.VariableName instead of SWEP.
