Used onNewerServer.png
Code
AccessorFuncNW( ENT, "Cookies", "NumberOfCookies", 1, FORCE_NUMBER ) --FORCE_NUMBER forces it to be a number.
 
function ENT:Think()
     self:SetNumberOfCookies( self:GetNumberOfCookies() + 1 ) --Add 1 to the number of cookies
     MsgN( Format( "The entity now has %i cookies!", self:GetNumberOfCookies() ) ) --Print it
end
 
--To get number of cookies, use self:GetNumberOfCookies() (or self.Cookies, but that one doesn't always work)
--To set the number of cookies, use self:SetNumberOfCookies()
--It all depends on the third variable of AccessorFuncNW, if you'd change it to e.g. "Pixels" then it'd be GetPixels() and SetPixels()
OutputEvery time the entity thinks: "The entity now has 2 cookies!"
