net.Start is sending unpooled message?

[pablo67340]

Hi, I am trying to make a hitmenu and i am having trouble with net.Start.

So, In my script i have:

if CLIENT then
(under client this is what i have. I didnt put all code, Just whats important)

local textbox = vgui.Create("DTextEntry", frame)
		textbox:SetPos(15+label:GetWide(),40)
		textbox:SetSize(200,20)
		textbox:SetEnterAllowed(true)
		textbox.OnEnter = function()
			net.Start("cl_sendDonationKey")
				net.WriteString(textbox:GetValue())
			net.SendToServer();
		end

Then i have:

if SERVER then

util.AddNetworkString("cl_sendDonationKey")
    net.Receive("cl_sendDonationKey", function(len, ply)
		local key = net.ReadString()
		jaooeProcessKey(ply,key)
	end)

For some reason its saying im sending an unpooled message. HELP ME!

Are you sure the script is being ran both server and clientside?

Yea, When i type my command, The menu and stuff pops up that i have as client. But the second i click enter with it sais unpooled message.

That doesn't mean it's running server side. Everything you just told me meant that the client side portion is working.

Where did you place the script?

[pablo67340]

lua>autorun.

It does if CLIENT first, Then it does IF SERVER after the if of the client

[Walrus Viking]

I hope you mean

if ( CLIENT ) then
    -- Client stuff
else
    -- Server stuff
end

Set the file up like this in a shared autorun folder (lua/autorun):

[lua]if SERVER then
AddCSLuaFile()
print("Loading serverside content from: filename.lua")
--Server shit
elseif CLIENT then
--Client shit
end[/lua]

With shared files it's generally best practice to run it in a Shared-Server-Client method, where you do shared functions first, then server functions, then finally client functions.

Once the server is restarted, check the server console for the print. Or put a serverside concommand to ensure serverside code has loaded.

util.AddNetworkString( "cl_sendDonationKey" )

Put that serverside.
