Lol, damn. I guess I'm missing an '=' here?

Also, what tag do you put errors in to make them look like that one comment on this thread?

Of course, my comments make no sense since it doesn't work...

And also, how do I make a prop_combine_ball that doesn't just go through every world surface? (with the owner of the swep as the owner of the combine's ball)?

I only re posted because the last one was closed, the title was not descriptive. I tried to make this one's title descriptive. The Lua what do you want help with thread has moved on, several times, to other pages, without an answer to this.
