First Swep Problem

[overki11]

Okay, I am making my first SWEP (chair thrower) and it won't even show up in the menu. Here is a download to the file. The reason I'm not posting the lua on here, is because i think i messed up somewhere else. (BTW following the tutorial here [url]http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/index8e50.html[/url]

Okay Thank You, BTW, I am getting WAAAAY ahead of myself here, but I am trying to learn how to make SWEPS so i can make an ammo pack and med pack like in battlefield. How do you make a view model?

[c👌de_g🎷]

Change the viewmodel or [B]make[/B] an actual model?

[overki11]

Make an actual model, and btw the tutorial doesnt work. atleast i dont think so because i have no clue how to spawn the chairthrower wepaon

It should be in Weapons -> Other. Also, post your whole code and where you put the file. As for making a model, you could use [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=109724869"]this[/URL], or make one in 3DS Max/Blender/Maya.

I posted the file where it said, in garrysmod, garrysmod, lua. here is the code
(I DID copy and paste, but i made sure i understood it first)
btw ill tell u if the swep construction kit works

	-- This weapon is 'automatic'. This function call below defines
	-- the rate of fire. Here we set it to shoot every 0.5 seconds.
	self.Weapon:SetNextPrimaryFire( CurTime() + 0.5 )	

	-- Call 'ThrowChair' on self with this model
	self:ThrowChair( "models/props/cs_office/Chair_office.mdl" )

end

-- Called when the rightmouse button is pressed
--
function SWEP:SecondaryAttack()

	-- Note we don't call SetNextSecondaryFire here because it's not
	-- automatic and so we let them fire as fast as they can click.	

	-- Call 'ThrowChair' on self with this model
	self:ThrowChair( "models/props_c17/FurnitureChair001a.mdl" )

end

--
-- A custom function we added. When you call this the player will fire a chair!
--

	-- 
	-- Play the shoot sound we precached earlier!
	--

	-- We play the sound above on the client due to prediction.

	-- Set the entity's model to the passed in model
	--
	ent:SetModel( model_file )
 
	--
	-- Set the position to the player's eye position plus 16 units forward.
	-- Set the angles to the player'e eye angles. Then spawn it.
	--
	ent:SetPos( self.Owner:EyePos() + ( self.Owner:GetAimVector() * 16 ) )
	ent:SetAngles( self.Owner:EyeAngles() )
	ent:Spawn()
 

	--
	-- Now get the physics object. Whenever we get a physics object
	-- we need to test to make sure its valid before using it.
	-- If it isn't ) then we'll remove the entity.
	--
	local phys = ent:GetPhysicsObject()
	if (  !IsValid( phys ) ) then ent:Remove() return end
 
 
	--
	-- Now we apply the force - so the chair actually throws instead 
	-- of just falling to the ground. You can play with this value here
	-- to adjust how fast we throw it.
	--
	local velocity = self.Owner:GetAimVector()
	velocity = velocity * 100 
	velocity = velocity + ( VectorRand() * 10 ) -- a random element
	phys:ApplyForceCenter( velocity )
 
	--
	-- Assuming we're playing in Sandbox mode we want to add this
	-- entity to the cleanup and undo lists. This is done like so.
	--
	cleanup.Add( self.Owner, "props", ent )
 
	undo.Create( "Thrown_Chair" )
		undo.AddEntity( ent )
		undo.SetPlayer( self.Owner )
	undo.Finish()
end

Put it in lua/weapons.

[overki11]

Nope.

By The Way, with the swep creator, im using the SLAM viewmodel. I want to get the Left hand completely gone, but a little is always still there

[c👌de_g🎷]

That's an issue with your FOV and the model. Also, put AddCSLuaFile() at the top of your weapon file.

actually, i just needed to reload my game. lol
