WEAPON:Initialize( )
Contents |
Description
Called when the weapon entity is created.
| NOTE |
Entity:GetOwner will return NULL at this point because the weapon is not equpped by a player or NPC yet. Use WEAPON:Equip or WEAPON:Deploy if you need the owner to be valid. |
| BUG |
This is sometimes not called clientside. You can work around this by setting a variable in Initialize and check if it exists in WEAPON:Think. See the example below. Issue Tracker: #2732 |
| BUG |
This is not called serverside after a quicksave. Issue Tracker: #3015 |
Examples
Example
Sets the weapon hold type to SWEP.HoldType.
function SWEP:Initialize() self:SetHoldType( self.HoldType ) end
Examples
Example
Fixes the function not being called clientside.
function SWEP:Initialize() self.m_bInitialized = true -- Other code end function SWEP:Think() if (not self.m_bInitialized) then self:Initialize() end -- Other code end
