PL:Give Menu Function

[desa192]

Currently, I'm developing a gamemode. It's a deathmatch gamemode and I have a working team selection menu I made which gives the player a loadout and when changing class, takes away the old loadout and gives them the new one. I achieved this by using the

ply:Give("weapon_name")

code snippet and I made a new menu for loadouts, this new menu is supposed to give the player a weapon when the buttons are pressed, currently it gives out an error.

Example code:

DButton9 = vgui.Create('DButton')
DButton9:SetParent(DPanel2)
DButton9:SetSize(144, 25)
DButton9:SetPos(10, 79)
DButton9:SetText('Semtex')
DButton9.DoClick = function() 
ply:Give("weapon_smg1")
end

Now, the menu works of course. It's just spawning the weapon doesn't. So if anyone could help me fixing this, it'd be greatly appreciated. This is currently the only barrier I have in releasing a thread on my new gamemode.
