Ammo Remover

[willthemage]

Well the last 2 weeks I been working in lua and I need help figure out how to use util codes so been working on this Ranger thing. When a player hits the beam they lose all of there ammo I wondering if I did it right. Don't worry about the input Clk because I want to know if I use util right.

AddCSLuaFile( "cl_init.lua" )
AddCSLuaFile( "shared.lua" )
include( "shared.lua" )

ENT.WireDebugName = "Ammo Remover"

function Ammo Remover() --this just makes sure everything runs

function ENT:Initialize --sets up Entity (Phys,Inputs)

self.Entity:PhysicsInit( SOLID_VPHYSCIS )
self.Entity:SetMoveType( MOVETYPE_VPHYSCIS )
self.Entity:SetSolid( SOLID_VPHYSCIS )

local phys = self.Entity:GetPhysicsObject()
if (phys:IsValid()) then
phys:Wake()
end

self.Inputs = Wire_CreateInputs(self.Entity, { "Clk", "BeamLenght"})

end

function ENTraw() -- makes beam
local pos = self.Entity:GetShootPos()
local ang = self.Entity:GetAimVector()
local tracedata = {}
tracedata.start = pos
tracedata.endpos = pos+ (ang*BeamLenght)
tracedata.filter = self.Owner
local trace = util.TraceLine(tracedata)
if trace.HitNonWorld then
target = trace.Entity
if Entity:IsPlayer(trace.Entity) then
Player:RemoveAllAmmo(trace.Entity)
end
end
end

For some reason its saying function ENT:raw() but its ENT: Draw and I did use spacing but it doesn't show

                self.Entity:SetModel( "models/props_c17/oildrum001.mdl" )

	local phys = self.Entity:GetPhysicsObject()
	if (phys:IsValid()) then
		phys:Wake()
	end

	self.Inputs = Wire_CreateInputs(self.Entity, { "Clk", "BeamLength"})

end

 function ENT:Draw()  //Put this clientside 
	local pos = self.Entity:GetShootPos()
	local ang = self.Entity:GetAimVector()
	local tracedata = {}
	tracedata.start = pos
	tracedata.endpos = pos+ (ang*BeamLenght)
	tracedata.filter = self.Owner
	local trace = util.TraceLine(tracedata)
	 if trace.HitNonWorld then
	     target = trace.Entity
		 if target:IsPlayer then
			 target:RemoveAllAmmo()
		 end
	 end
end

For one you had numerous spelling errors which would stop you prematurely. Second, ENTraw is clientside so put that in the client file. I also corrected the spelling errors as well.
Also remember to put code tags for easier reading and put the function marks () after every functions.

thz and yes I suck at grammer and spelling

You are trying to remove ammo (which is server-side) in the draw hook (which is client-side)... The draw loop is for... guess what, drawing the entity. Everything else should be in the think hook.

k I'm a Lua noob so WTF is server and client and why is it so important to have them serapted

Lolz, it would be alot easier to just use the anti-noclip tool and set it to strip weapons, then do some coding to force noclip them through it, but hey, you got it working so it doesn't matter now.

I'll keep this simple:
Client-side means that only one person (usually the owner) will notice things. (IE: Derma GUI)
Server-side means that everyone in a server will be able to notice (IE: Fire)

thz guys

Well I'm not going to use it I'm just working on my lua skills
