I've stared at the SwitcherMain.lua file for hours and my eyes have turned into something mushy and leaked out of my sockets.
Does anyone know what is happening here?

The file:

SwitcherMain.txt


Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. :)

Try replacing all "self.parentgun.PresetName" with "self.mainweaponname".

Done, for the SwitcherAlt.lua file as well. The error is now:
ERROR: UniTec.rte/Scripts/SwitcherMain.lua:77: attempt to index field 'parentgun' (a nil value)
(77 instead of 65 :-? )

Change that line to
Code:
   if MovableMan:IsActor(self.parentactor) and self.parentgun ~= nil and self.parentgun.ID ~= 255 and UInputMan:KeyPressed(26) and self.canswitch == true then
