• SWEP is a nil value?!

Hello, I got some issues with my Swep. It keeps saying: [ERROR] lua/autorun/client/shared.lua:16: attempt to index global 'SWEP' (a nil value) 1. unknown - lua/autorun/client/shared.lua:16 Here the code: [code] if SERVER then // This is where the init.lua stuff goes. //This makes sure clients download the file AddCSLuaFile ("shared.lua") //How heavy the SWep is SWEP.Weight = 5 //Allow automatic switching to/from this weapon when weapons are picked up SWEP.AutoSwitchTo = false SWEP.AutoSwitchFrom = false elseif CLIENT then // This is where the cl_init.lua stuff goes //The name of the SWep, as appears in the weapons tab in the spawn menu(Q Menu) SWEP.PrintName = "Dynamite" //Sets the position of the weapon in the switching menu //(appears when you use the scroll wheel or keys 1-6 by default) SWEP.Slot = 4 SWEP.SlotPos = 1 //Sets drawing the ammuntion levels for this weapon SWEP.DrawAmmo = false //Sets the drawing of the crosshair when this weapon is deployed SWEP.DrawCrosshair = true //Ensures a clean looking notification when a chair is undone. How it works: //When you create an undo, you specify the ID: // undo.Create("Dynamite") //By creating an associated language, we can make the undo notification look better: // language.Add("Undone_Dynamite", "Some message...") language.Add("Undone_Thrown_SWEP_Dynamite","Undone Thrown SWEP Dynamite") end SWEP.Author = "Your Name" SWEP.Contact = "Your Email Address" SWEP.Purpose = "What your SWep does." SWEP.Instructions = "How to operate your SWep" //The category that you SWep will be shown in, in the Spawn (Q) Menu //(This can be anything, GMod will create the categories for you) SWEP.Category = "Scepto" SWEP.Spawnable = true -- Whether regular players can see it SWEP.AdminSpawnable = true -- Whether Admins/Super Admins can see it SWEP.ViewModel = "models/dav0r/tnt/tnt.mdl" -- This is the model used for clients to see in first person. SWEP.WorldModel = "models/dav0r/tnt/tnt.mdl" -- This is the model shown to all other clients and in third-person. //This determins how big each clip/magazine for the gun is. You can //set it to -1 to disable the ammo system, meaning primary ammo will //not be displayed and will not be affected. SWEP.Primary.ClipSize = -1 //This sets the number of rounds in the clip when you first get the gun. Again it can be set to -1. SWEP.Primary.DefaultClip = -1 //Obvious. Determines whether the primary fire is automatic. This should be true/false SWEP.Primary.Automatic = false //Sets the ammunition type the gun uses, see below for a list of types. SWEP.Primary.Ammo = "none" SWEP.Secondary.ClipSize = -1 SWEP.Secondary.DefaultClip = -1 SWEP.Secondary.Automatic = false SWEP.Secondary.Ammo = "none" //When the script loads, the sound ''Metal.SawbladeStick'' will be precached, //and a local variable with the sound name created. local ShootSound = Sound("weapons/explode4.wav") function SWEP:Reload() end function SWEP:Think() end function SWEP:throw_attack (model_file) //Get an eye trace. This basically draws an invisible line from //the players eye. This SWep makes very little use of the trace, except to //calculate the amount of force to apply to the object thrown. local tr = self.Owner:GetEyeTrace() //Play some noises/effects using the sound we precached earlier self:EmitSound(ShootSound) self.BaseClass.ShootEffects(self) //We now exit if this function is not running serverside if (!SERVER) then return end //The next task is to create a physics prop based on the supplied model local ent = ents.Create("prop_physics") ent:SetModel(model_file) //Set the initial position and angles of the object. This might need some fine tuning; //but it seems to work for the models I have tried. ent:SetPos(self.Owner:EyePos() + (self.Owner:GetAimVector() * 16)) ent:SetAngles(self.Owner:EyeAngles()) ent:Spawn() //Now we need to get the physics object for our entity so we can apply a force to it local phys = ent:GetPhysicsObject() //Check if the physics object is valid. If not, remove the entity and stop the function if !(phys && IsValid(phys)) then ent:Remove() return end //Time to apply the force. My method for doing this was almost entirely empirical //and it seems to work fairly intuitively with chairs. phys:ApplyForceCenter(self.Owner:GetAimVector():GetNormalized() * math.pow(tr.HitPos:Length(), 3)) //Now for the important part of adding the spawned objects to the undo and cleanup lists. cleanup.Add(self.Owner, "props", ent) undo.Create ("Dynamite") undo.AddEntity (ent) undo.SetPlayer (self.Owner) undo.Finish() end //Throw an office chair on primary attack function SWEP:PrimaryAttack() //Call the throw attack function, with the office chair model self:throw_attack("models/dav0r/tnt/tnt.mdl") end [/code] Thank you
Try placing the file in lua/weapons/weapon_dynamite/ instead
[QUOTE=Sm63;52615009]Try placing the file in lua/weapons/weapon_dynamite/ instead[/QUOTE] Im using the addon as a client side atm (singleplayer). So that will not work. Any other suggestions?
