SetupDataTables() not networking from Entity -> Weapon?

[exodusthefirst]

I'm attempting to use a DataTable function in my swep I have, and it seems that when I use the SetupDataTable function on my Entity, then I set it, and then attempt to call it from my swep.

Seeing as SetupDataTable() creates the functions for example GetDifficulty and SetDifficulty. Here is what I'm doing on my swep:

local ent = ply:GetEyeTraceNoCursor()
		
if ent:GetDifficulty() == "veasy" then
	local forgive = 10
end

Yes, I am setting it. But, it doesn't matter seeing as the error isn't that GetDifficulty returns a nil value, it's that GetDifficulty is an invalid method.

and here is what I'm doing on my entity:

function ENT:SetupDataTables()
	self:NetworkVar("String", 0, "Difficulty")
end

According to the wiki, DataTables are better than NWVars, and were for the prediction of sweps. But I find it odd that SetDifficulty is an invalid method when I'm calling it from my swep. I would've used SetNWString and GetNWString but apparently GetNWString doesn't work on sweps.

Is the SetupDataTables in a shared file?

It's in an entity, so yes.

GetEyeTraceNoCursor only returns a trace result, not an entity.

I'm pretty sure i included EyeTraceNoCursor().Entity, apparently not.
