TTT - Stalker Knife - Lua Help -

[Fscreams]

Making a knife that cloaks / gives speed to the player when they equip it, or have it out.

Issue - It only does 50 damage, and it will deal 50 damage, but no more then 50 to a player, so it doesn't kill them.

- It also swings fast, even though the delay is 1.1.

I took the code from the TTT knife, edited and it just wouldn't give the weapon to you. I changed it to the crowbar and just renamed the model to knife, but it didn't do damage.

Replaced primary fire of crowbar with primary fire of knife, and it works, swings super fast but doesn't kill.

What's wrong?

If you're copying directly from the TTT knife you need to change these values to make it one hit.

[B]entities/weapons/weapon_ttt_knife/shared.lua:[/B]
[lua]
SWEP.Primary.Damage = 999
[/lua]

[B]entities/entities/ttt_knife_proj/shared.lua:[/B]
[lua]
ENT.Damage = 999
[/lua]

I don't want it to one hit.

It can damage a player to 50 hp, but it doesn't damage them any lower, like their HP is stuck at 50 and it won't do any more damage.

What you posted doesn't even look like the full knife weapon file anyway.

[Fscreams]

It isn't. I cut out the throwing part.
