EyeTrace

[Shadow02]

Hello. I'm making a SWEP for a server and I need a hand with this specific area. I am struggling with EyeTraces. I haven't been able to find anything on the internet that teaches me how to use EyeTraces, and I couldn't really understand the wiki.

Anyway, more to the point... I'm trying to make a SWEP for a vortigaunt job, so when you left click at any distance it heals the person you're aiming at back to their max health. I've just started it, so there is nothing in the primary fire function yet.

[lua]

if SERVER then

SWEP.Weight = 5

SWEP.AutoSwitchTo = false
SWEP.AutoSwitchFrom = false

elseif CLIENT then

//The name of the SWep, as appears in the weapons tab in the spawn menu(Q Menu)
SWEP.PrintName = "Vortal Heal"

SWEP.Slot = 1
SWEP.SlotPos = 0

SWEP.DrawAmmo = false

SWEP.DrawCrosshair = true

end

SWEP.Author = "Shadow"
SWEP.Contact = "www.apex-roleplay.com"
SWEP.Purpose = "Heal others"
SWEP.Instructions = "Left click"

SWEP.Category = "Vortal Powers"

SWEP.Spawnable = true
SWEP.AdminSpawnable = true

SWEP.ViewModel = ""
SWEP.WorldModel = ""

SWEP.Primary.ClipSize = -1

SWEP.Primary.DefaultClip = -1

SWEP.Primary.Automatic = false

SWEP.Primary.Ammo = "none"

SWEP.Secondary.ClipSize = -1
SWEP.Secondary.DefaultClip = -1
SWEP.Secondary.Automatic = false
SWEP.Secondary.Ammo = "none"

local ShootSound = Sound("")

function SWEP:Reload()
end

function SWEP:Think()
end

function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()

OnRun = function(Player, Trace)
local ply = Trace.Entity
if ply:IsPlayer() then
Entity:SetHealth(100)
end
end

end

function SWEP:SecondaryAttack()

end

[/lua]

Please don't say anything too complex, I'm still yet to learn this. I'd appreciate if someone could tell me all about eye trace and maybe give me an example along these lines.

EyeTraces just uses TraceLine internally, so it's the same kind of return structure.

Thank you, I've got it.
