StartCommand Weapon Raising & Lowering - No reload sound

Garry's Mod coding
#1

I am making a weapon raising / lowering system with startcommand. When you hold R, it toggles weapon raising. When you simple press R, it reloads.

Here’s the code:

-- Prevent weapon firing when lowered
local KEY_BLACKLIST = IN_ATTACK + IN_ATTACK2

function SheepStartCommand( pl, cmd )

	if pl.SheepWeaponRaised == nil then
		pl.SheepWeaponRaised = true
	end

	if ( pl.SheepWeaponRaised == false ) then

		cmd:RemoveKey( KEY_BLACKLIST )
	end
	--
	pl.SheepAimingIronsights = bit.band(cmd:GetButtons(), IN_ATTACK2) ~= 0
	
	
	
	
	
	-- Weapon raising / lowering
	-- This is part of the "server needs to know we removed IN_RELOAD" thing
	-- BUT this is "AFTER" we go through all the code, we need to reset the server's holdingR variable
	if CLIENT then
		net.Start("SendSheepHoldingR")
		net.WriteBool( false )
		net.SendToServer()
	end
	

	pl.HoldingR = bit.band(cmd:GetButtons(), IN_RELOAD) ~= 0
	
	-- When we iterate on client, we're removing IN_RELOAD so we'll have to let the server know.
	if CLIENT and pl.HoldingR then
		net.Start("SendSheepHoldingR")
		net.WriteBool( true )
		net.SendToServer()
	end
	
	cmd:RemoveKey( IN_RELOAD )
	
	-- Telling the server that we did indeed press reload.
	if SERVER then
		if pl.ServerSideHoldingR == true then
			pl.HoldingR = true
		end
	end

	if pl.HoldingR then
		--print("holding R!...")
		
		if pl.MidWeaponRaise == nil then pl.MidWeaponRaise = false end
		
		if !pl.MidWeaponRaise then
			pl.HoldingRStartTime = CurTime()
			pl.MidWeaponRaise = true
			
			pl.Reloaded = false
		end

		pl.MidWeaponReload = false
	
	
	else

		pl.MidWeaponRaise = false
		
		-- Reload

	end	


	if pl.HoldingRStartTime then
		if pl.HoldingR then
			--print("taking the potential holster event path...")

			if pl.HoldingR and ((CurTime() - pl.HoldingRStartTime) >= 0.5) then
					--print("doing the holster event")
					
					pl.SheepWeaponRaised = !pl.SheepWeaponRaised
					
					if SERVER then
						
					end

				pl.MidWeaponRaise = false
				return
			end
		end
		
			
	
		
	
		-- If we've pressed R for less than 0.5 seconds, simply reload as usual
		if !pl.HoldingR and ((CurTime() - pl.HoldingRStartTime) < 0.5) and !pl.Reloaded then
		
			
		
			print("doing the reloading event")
			cmd:AddKey( IN_RELOAD )

			pl.MidWeaponRaise = false
			pl.Reloaded = true
			pl.ReloadFinishTime = CurTime()
			return

		end	

	end		


	
end

hook.Add("StartCommand", "SheepStartCommand", SheepStartCommand)

Problem: Aside from everything else working fine, reloading is now completely silent most of the time

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!
