Clip1() a nil value while dead.

[Dog]

Sup, another HUD problem. I was wondering if I can fix this lua error without removing it from the HUD. So basically this is what happens:
The ammo works when you have a weapon but if you don't console will spam a lua error saying Clip1() (Amount of bullets in clip) is a nil value. I wanna know if I can fix this without moving it to the weapon selection.
Here's the code:

Code: Lua

1. function GM:HUDPaint()
2.                 self.BaseClass:HUDPaint()
3.                 local ply = LocalPlayer()
4.                 local HP = LocalPlayer():Health()
5.                 local wep = ply:GetActiveWeapon()
6.                 local Ammo1 = LocalPlayer():GetActiveWeapon():Clip1()
7.                 local Ammo2 = ply:GetAmmoCount( wep:GetPrimaryAmmoType() )
8.                
9.                
10.                 surface.SetDrawColor(255,255,255,255)
11.                 surface.SetMaterial( Material( "materials/pdhud/hp.png", "noclamp" ) )
12.                 surface.DrawTexturedRect( 0, ScrH() / ScrH(), 42, 42 ) -- Draws HP Icon
13.                 surface.SetTextColor( 255, 0, 0, 255 )
14.                 surface.SetTextPos( 50, ScrH() / ScrH()+10 )
15.                 surface.SetFont( "pd_basefont" )
16.                 surface.DrawText( HP ) -- Puts HP Next to HP Icon
17.                
18.                 surface.SetDrawColor(255,255,255,255)
19.                 surface.SetMaterial( Material( "materials/pdhud/ammo.png", "noclamp" ) )
20.                 surface.DrawTexturedRect( 0, ScrH() / ScrH()+42, 42, 42 ) -- Draws Ammo Icon
21.                 surface.SetTextColor( 255, 0, 0, 255 )
22.                 surface.SetTextPos( 50, ScrH() / ScrH()+52 )
23.                 surface.SetFont( "pd_basefont" )
24.                 if ply:GetActiveWeapon():Clip1() <0 and ply:GetAmmoCount( wep:GetPrimaryAmmoType() ) == 0 then
25.                         surface.DrawText( "Melee" )
26.                 elseif ply:GetActiveWeapon():Clip1() <0 and ply:GetAmmoCount( wep:GetPrimaryAmmoType() ) >0 then
27.                         surface.DrawText( Ammo2 .. " Rockets")
28.                 else
29.                         surface.DrawText( Ammo1 .. "/" .. Ammo2 ) -- <MagAmmo>/<OtherAmmo>
30.                 end    
31.         end

It's in the cl_init.lua of the gamemode.

Use an if/then and !ply:Alive(), or Ammo1, or wherever, = nil near whatever line of code the error chokes on, set a fake ammo1 variable count of 1 or something.

you fixed it (have same problem)?

[JamminR]

Iviscosity, please pay closer attention to detail.
The code you reference and respond to was posted over 2 years ago.
Hence why many of us didn't respond to the last question, not only was it a 'you should try it and see', it was a bad necro.
Dog hasn''t been here in a long time.
We don't mind necro posts if they truly ask thoughtful questions.
