Issue with changing maps

[drakth]

Hi everyone,

 

I was doing the loading map tutorial that was posted here on the forums, and it worked nice until i decided to attach a weapon to the player.

 

The problem appears when the new level is loaded, i start getting error like:

 

"Attempt to index field 'muzzlelight' (a nil value)"

 

This error occurs at the following code in the fpsweapon.lua

 

if self.muzzlelight:Hidden()==false then
if t-self.firetime>50 then
self.muzzlelight:Hide()
end
end

 

I suppose it happens because the object is not initialized (not sure tho) i could check for that by doing something like:

 

If self.muzzlelight ~= nil then
....
end

 

But i dont think that would be the best.

 

Assuming the problem is the object that is not initialized is there a way to initialize them?

 

I tried calling the Start function but for some reason it didnt work.

 

Any help would be appreciated.
