Weapon constant variable.

Garry's Mod coding
#1

I want to make a weapon that counts the number of times it has been clicked.

So what I did was that I made some variables like



function SWEP:SetupDataTables()
      self:NetworkVar("Float",0,"Clicked")
end

so I gave it to my m8 and the counter reset…

Is there any way to fix this, like a variable that is constant even though the wep gets dropped…

#2

Where do you update it?
Also you might as well just do self.Weapon:SetNWInt( “Clicked”, value )

#3

Why would you say self.Weapon

Like it’s on a SWEP so it’s like Weapon.Weapon…

No solution yet.

I think in an earlier version of gmod you had to access the weapon entity with self.Weapon

I’ve tried to recreate your weapon, but dropping the weapon and picking it up doesn’t seem to reset the counter for me





SWEP.PrintName = "Counter"
SWEP.Spawnable = true

SWEP.ViewModel = "models/weapons/v_pistol.mdl"
SWEP.WorldModel = "models/weapons/w_pistol.mdl"


function SWEP:SetupDataTables()
      self:NetworkVar("Float",0,"Clicked")
end


function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()
    self:SetClicked(self:GetClicked() + 1)
    print(self:GetClicked())
end


function SWEP:Reload()
    if SERVER then
        self.Owner:DropWeapon(self)
    end
end


function SWEP:Equip()
    print("Count on Equip:".. self:GetClicked())
end

Really wired, I copied your code over to test if it worked, and now it does???

  • But anyways Thanks!
