I am trying to create a SWEP Pistol named test pistol which fires a bullet with primary button and then upon pressing the secondary button that bullet that was fired will expand to a given size and kill anything that falls within it. I am not sure of how to do this so i looked around and i couldn’t find anything so i need your help! What did i do right and what did i do wrong?

Bump

edit : I’d prefer if you not make my posts dumb if i legit need help and no one is responding. Thanks

[lua] local Bullet {} [/lua]

You need to define vars and tables like this:

[lua] local Bullet = {} [/lua]

Also, GetBulletPos is a nil func.

Keosan-legacy · August 2, 2015, 3:32am

Okay thanks! So how would i go about retrieving the position of the bullet once its fired? Instead of creating a bullet do i do a Ent.Create and then track the entity??

Edit : I think i found a way… When firing the bullet all i have to do is find the bullets position in the world and create an entity AR2 explosion whatever the bullets position is at that moment when i press secondary button right?

I seem to be getting an error and my swep doesn’t show up in the menu!

[editline]2nd August 2015[/editline]

I dont find the error, are you sure the code aint corrupt, also, clean up your code, example here:



SWEP.Base = "weapon_base"
SWEP.Author = "Keosan"
SWEP.Spawnable = false
SWEP.AdminSpawnable = true
SWEP.ViewModelFlip = false
SWEP.Category = "TEST ME"

SWEP.HoldType     = "pistol"

SWEP.Primary.Damage = 100
SWEP.Primary.NumShots = 1
SWEP.Primary.Spread = 0.05
SWEP.Primary.Cone = 0.05
SWEP.Primary.ClipSize = 10

SWEP.Secondary.Automatic =  false
SWEP.Secondary.Ammo = "none"

function SWEP:Initialize()
  util.PrecacheSound("sound/pistolshoot.wav")
  self:SetWeaponHoldType( self.HoldType )
end

function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()
  if ( not self:CanPrimaryAttack() ) then
    return
  end

  local Bullet = {}
  Bullet.Num = self.Primary.NumShots
  Bullet.Src = self.Owner:GetShootPos()

  Bullet.Spread = Vector( self.Primary.Spread, self.Primary.Spread,0 )

  self:TakePrimaryAmmo( 1 )
  self:SetNextPrimaryFire( CurTime()+self.Primary.Delay)
end

function SWEP:SecondaryAttack()
  if ( not self:CanSecondaryAttack() ) then
    return
  end

  local bulletpos = self.Bullet:Vector()
  local die = ents.Create("env_ar2explosion")
  die:GetPos(self.Owner.Bullet)

Also, do you test your gun in singleplayer?

Keosan-legacy · August 2, 2015, 7:34am

I’ve been testing the code on my server so maybe i’ll try it single player. It says the error could be having unnecessary ends or possibly nill functions

whitestar-legacy · August 2, 2015, 7:34am

Specify which server exactly, localy hosted? If local, then how, with SteamCMD, or by gmod itself?

Keosan-legacy · August 2, 2015, 7:40am

Sorry. Nfoservers.com

whitestar-legacy · August 2, 2015, 7:47am

the code you gave me got no line “87”, I dont know which OS the server is try, restarting it, and test it then.

Keosan-legacy · August 2, 2015, 8:19am

The server OS is windows. However, i am not sure of what version. Maybe i have the wrong thing defined in SWEP.base? I am running DARKRP on my server. Just restarted it and nothing, the SWEP doesn’t even show in the Q menu! But at least this time i didn’t get any errors.

I was able to do /giveweapon <player> weapon_test however, the weapon is all messed up

whitestar-legacy · August 2, 2015, 8:23am

The base is right, as you can see here: http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Structures/SWEP

[editline]2nd August 2015[/editline]

You’re using a WORLDMODEL as VIEWMODEL replace the “w_” in .ViewModel with a “v_”

[editline]2nd August 2015[/editline]

also, instead of SetWeaponHoldtype do SetHoldType.

Keosan-legacy · August 2, 2015, 8:32am

Interesting. When i change the viewmodel to w_ i just get an error sign and when i change the self:SetHoldType(“pistol” i don’t see a gun at all(viewmodel wise).

Also, i just realized that when i press left click it doesn’t play my custom sound either. Heres a video of what the gun looked like before applying the above changes.

Edit : I also don’t know how to get the secondary function how i want it either. I wanted to have it where i’ll shoot the gun and press the secondary button and upon pressing it it will expand the bullet a certain radius and kill anything within that radius(similar to how an AR2 secondary hits you the body will just fade away into nothing) Does that mean i have to use an ent.create for the primary?

whitestar-legacy · August 2, 2015, 8:38am

I am not that much into weapon scripting, but before you do primary & secondary functions, you should make the base functions, so it atleast gets drawn as a weapon, reffer to the wiki, they got the “chair throwing gun” you could copy it, and edit it.

Keosan-legacy · August 2, 2015, 8:49am

I’ll do my best! In the mean time i’ll see if anyone else can chime in and help me Thanks!
