Need help with ents.FindInSphere with two same entities

[lua_error]

Two same entities, cant find solution how to find only second entity
[LUA]
for k, v in pairs (ents.FindInSphere(self:GetPos(), 0.5)) do
if self ~= v then
if v:GetClass() == "my_ent" then
return
end
end
end
[/LUA]

Please any suggestions

Something like this should do the trick

[lua]
local Count = 0
for k, v in pairs (ents.FindInSphere(self:GetPos(), 0.5)) do
if self ~= v then
if v:GetClass() == "my_ent" then
Count = Count+1
if Count > 1 then
return
end
end
end
end
[/lua]

0.5 it's TOO tiny, try 8 or 16
Tested it on one of my sents and this worked

[lua_error]

If i put down two barrels this check doesn't work for me.

[LUA]
function ENT:StartTouch( ent )
local count = 0
for k, v in pairs (ents.FindInSphere(self:GetPos(), 8)) do
if self ~= v then
if v:GetClass() == "barrel" then
count = count + 1
print("Work!")
return
end
end
end
ent:Remove()
end
[/LUA]

[King Penisless]

All your code is doing is incrementing count but don't doing anything with the value, this means that print will be called for every ent called barrel it finds

[lua_error]

Sorry, i'm mistaken with code, but it doesn't work anyway
[LUA]
for k, v in pairs (ents.FindInSphere(self:GetPos(), 8)) do
if self ~= v then
if v:GetClass() == "barrel" then
count = count + 1
if count > 1 then
print("Work!")
return
end
end
end
end

Seems this not a right way, because ents are the same
[LUA]
if self ~= v then
[/LUA]

[editline]26th August 2014[/editline]

Doesn't find the second one
[LUA]
ents.FindInSphere
[/LUA]

Are you spawning regular source barrels?

Please...Tell us that your entity it's not a blue prop_physics barrel and you're trying to get that prop class as "barrel"

Add print( v:GetClass() ) before checking if the class is 'barrel'

If there's no 'barrel' entry, try using this to see what class your 'barrel' is:
[lua]
concommand.Add( "checkClass", function( ply )
if not IsValid( ply ) then return end

print( ply:GetEyeTrace().Entity:GetClass() )
end )
[/lua]
