touch function

In a nutshell: when entities collide (and both are using something different from SOLID_NOT), the engine sets self as the touched entity, other as the touching entity, and calls the .touch() function associated to the touched (self) entity (if not .touch() function is defined then nothing happens).

So, I suggest you to compare your code against the original weapon/item touch code and you'll likely be able to fix it by yourself.

// The QuakeC Touch Function concept:

// somewhere in the quakec....

local entity foo; // we tell the quakec that this function will use a variable called foo which is local and is of type 'entity '

foo = spawn(); // foo is initiated/created/allocated memory/it has 'joined the game'
foo.solid = SOLID_BBOX; // foo is solid (there are other versions of solid)
foo.touch = TheFooTouchFunction; // this assigns a function to be run when foo is touched
.
.
};

// elsewhere...
// this is the function we want to run when when something touches foo

void () TheFooTouchFunction =
{
// 'self' is foo
// 'other' is the entity that touched foo
};
