Well apparently before I installed stargate, I always had fun using the bullettime mod with custom SWEPS.
Now, right after I installed stargate, I get this lua error spammed at me whenever a bullet hits a surface.
It works properly with stargate weapons and normal half life 2 weapons.
stargate/shared/bullets.lua:49: attempt to index local 'spread' (a number value)
Can anyone tell me a line of code to edit or something? Or is this unfixable?

Anyone?
I noticed the same thing (literally, the exact same situation, I’m probably using the same bullet-time mod). I’m not entirely sure how to fix this but it would be great if someone could help.
No more executing Kliener with kermite’s pistols
Anyone???

Agggh comeon someone!
This is so annoying!
Its probebly a veriable name wich they both share, and are overiding eachother.
i know this is soom anyoning
Bump. Any real help? Someone have a solution to this?
Bump again. I’m getting frustrated.
Try using a different bullet-time mod.

you must choose, choose wisely now.
Try deleting bullets.lua in the stargate directory, I don’t see why stargate needs it.
Try putting the following code into garrysmod/addons/stargate/lua/stargate/shared/bullets.lua

Untested, but shouldn’t screw anything up.
If that doesn’t work, then use the code below this.
TRY THE ABOVE CODE FIRST!

the stargate bullets.lua controls the impact with the shield, and other items, meaning that bullets from sweps can be deflected by the shield. this is not possible without this lua file as the source bullets don’t travel if that makes sense. I define bullets as primary ammo from the pistol/smg/rifle. they have nt physics object.
