what is wrong here, why do i get a error

Apparently "ply" isn't a player, which is weird. Can you show us how you assign it?

[esalaka]

He showed it to me, it's one of the function parameters. (function( ply, command, args ) )

Well, here is one.

He didn't forget it, he placed it after the arguments.

Please don't try to help if you don't know what you're talking about.

[editline]02:27PM[/editline]

Put a Msg("Test") at the beginning of your concommand function. If the text "Test" appears in yellow, that's your problem, because its not running the function on the server.

[editline]02:28PM[/editline]

Also, add some kind of timer block, because that function could be exploited into killing your server by I/O writing

[octogon]

nvm

[Justin37111]

Sorry, I didn't see it after the arguments

[Infinity1995]

Can you help me, how do I do timers. I'm at friends so can't go on pc

[-TB-]

bind sendaccountinfo to a key and see if you still get the error.
