Can't index self, a nil value.

Bleh on a stick, I can't seem to get this to work.

[lua]
AddCSLuaFile( "shared.lua" )
SWEP.HoldType = "Pistol"
SWEP.Name = "Random Pointless Weapon"
SWEP.Category = "Taco's Weapons"
SWEP.Printname = "Random Pointless Weapon"
SWEP.Instructions = "I'm not even sure..."
SWEP.Purpose = "None"
SWEP.Contact = "I love you!"
SWEP.Author = "TacoNinja1995"
SWEP.Slot = 0
SWEP.SlotPos = 0
SWEP.DrawAmmo = False
SWEP.DrawCrosshair = False
SWEP.IconLetter = "y"
SWEP.ViewModelFlip = False

SWEP.Base = "weapon_cs_base"

SWEP.Spawnable = false
SWEP.AdminSpawnable = true
SWEP.ViewModel = "models/weapons/v_pistol.mdl"
SWEP.WorldModel = "models/weapons/w_pistol.mdl"

SWEP.PrimaryAutomatic = true
SWEP.SecondaryAutomatic = false

SWEP.Weight = 5
SWEP.AutoSwitchTo = true
SWEP.AutoSwitchFrom = false

function SWEP:Initialize()
end

function SWEP.PrimaryAttack()
end

function SWEP.SecondaryAttack()

self.Owner:ViewPunch( Angle( 0, 0, 0 ) )
self.Weapon:SetNextPrimaryFire( CurTime() + 0.15 )

local trace = self.Owner:GetEyeTrace()
local effectdata = EffectData()
effectdata:SetOrigin( trace.HitPos )
effectdata:SetNormal( trace.HitNormal )
effectdata:SetEntity( trace.Entity )
effectdata:SetAttachment( trace.PhysicsBone )
util.Effect( "super_explosion", effectdata )

local effectdata = EffectData()
effectdata:SetOrigin( trace.HitPos )
effectdata:SetStart( self.Owner:GetShootPos() )
effectdata:SetAttachment( 1 )
effectdata:SetEntity( self.Weapon )
util.Effect( "ToolTracer", effectdata )
if (SERVER) then
local owner=self.Owner
if self.Owner.SENT then
owner=self.Owner.SENT.Entity
end

local explosion = ents.Create( "env_explosion" )
explosion:SetPos(trace.HitPos)
explosion:SetKeyValue( "iMagnitude" , "170" )
explosion:SetPhysicsAttacker(owner)
explosion:SetOwner(owner)
explosion:Spawn()
explosion:Fire("explode","",0)
explosion:Fire("kill","",0 )
end
end
[/lua]
...but I get THIS:

lua\weapons\funswep\shared.lua:40: attempt to index global 'self' (a nil value)

Any help?

Next time, put it in lua tags please.

Sorry, derp move on my part.

[Grea$eMonkey]

And assuming line #40 is self.Owner:ViewPunch( Angle( 0, 0, 0 ) ), I'm not sure. That line looks fine.

[TacoNinja]

That's why I'm so baffled by it.

Line 38.

function SWEP.SecondaryAttack()

You used a period, not a colon, indicating it was just a function variable inside the SWEP, rather than an object-oriented function on the swep. Should be

function SWEP:SecondaryAttack()

I can't believe I missed that. It's late. :xd:
