Gamemode; VGUI wont launch on start

[Kruel Kramer]

Hey peoples, im making a gamemode myself and im having a bit of a problem.
When starting the mode on a server, as soon as a player spawns, they should get a VGUI popup with the choices to choose red team or blue team. this VGUI does NOT pop up. players have to type team_menu in their console to get the thing to start up. the weirdest thing is, it works fine in singleplayer! the only thing i could see wrong is that im not telling it that the CLIENT needs to do this on startup since in singleplayer, you are considered the server AND client. so thats why its working in single.

The VGUI popup had two buttons. one for red, one for blue

Blue team is team_blue
red team is team_red
The command to open the VGUI is team_menu

This is my INIT file where im pretty sure this is all going wrong

---------------------------------------------------------
AddCSLuaFile( "cl_init.lua" )
AddCSLuaFile( "shared.lua" )
AddCSLuaFile( "ephud.lua" )-- HUD file

include( 'shared.lua' )

resource.AddFile("materials/client/quarter256.vmt")
resource.AddFile("materials/client/quarter256c.vmt")
resource.AddFile("materials/client/quarter256h.vmt")
resource.AddFile("materials/client/triangle256.vmt")
resource.AddFile("materials/client/needle256.vmt")
resource.AddFile("materials/client/piemenu.vmt")

function GM:PlayerInitialSpawn( ply )

RunConsoleCommand( "team_menu" )-- works in single, but not multi!
--D:

end

function GM:PlayerLoadout( ply ) -- This works fine.

ply:StripWeapons()

if ply:Team() == 1 then
ply:Give( "weapon_pistol" )
ply:GiveAmmo(999999, "Pistol")

elseif ply:Team() == 2 then
ply:Give( "weapon_pistol" )
ply:GiveAmmo(999999, "Pistol")

end

end

function team_blue( ply )

ply:SetTeam( 1 )
ply:Spawn()
end

function team_red( ply )

ply:SetTeam( 2 )
ply:Spawn()
end

concommand.Add( "team_blue", team_blue )
concommand.Add( "team_red", team_red )

function GAMEMODE:PlayerSelectSpawn( ply )-- Map i made didnt
--see "info_player_blue/red" as a spawnpoint for some dumb reason
if ply:Team() == team_blue then
local spawns = ents.FindByClass( "info_player_blue" )
local randomspawn = math.random(#spawns)
return spawns[randomspawn]

elseif ply:Team() == team_red then
local spawns = ents.FindByClass( "info_player_red" )
local randomspawn = math.random(#spawns)
return spawns[randomspawn]
end
end
)

ANY help would be greatly appreciated!
