Odd behavior; brush and anim SENTs

[wranders]

I'm working on some SEnts for a gamemode, and until this point, they were working fine.
Keep in mind, all of this is server side, and yes, functions are separated in 'if SERVER' if it's not shared.

As a brush, I have Think running to determine if there are player Ents within the collision bounds.

But I've now realized that I need to network this SEnt. When I change it's type to anim, Think is still running, but it will not recognize a player entity.
With PrintTable, it spits out the ladder ents and itself, but nothing else.

What am I missing here?

Gist-of-it sample code:

Works fine:

ENT.Type = "brush"
ENT.Base = "base_entity"

function ENT:Initialize()
     self:SetTrigger(true)
end

function ENT.Think()
     for _, eia in pairs(ents.FindInBox(self:GetModelBounds())) do
          if eia:GetClass() == "player" and eia:Alive() then
               --Stuff handling players in area
          end
     end
end

Partially works, but not in the ways I need it to:

AddCSLuaFile()

ENT.Type = "anim"
ENT.Base = "base_entity"

function ENT:Initialize()
     if SERVER then self:SetTrigger(true) end
end

function ENT.Think()
     for _, eia in pairs(ents.FindInBox(self:GetModelBounds())) do
          if eia:GetClass() == "player" and eia:Alive() then
               --Stuff handling players in area
          end
     end
end

try replacing eia:GetClass() if eia:IsPlayer()

Nope. I've run

ents.FindInBox(self:GetModelBounds())

(with 'self' replaced with the proper reference) in console and it doesn't recognize a player entity as being present.

I've even tried GetCollisionBounds to see if anything changed, but it didn't.

Alright, so I gave up trying to have the entity handle everything on it's own.
I just have the brush update it's own data, then the server polls it and networks it to the client.

A bit more code, but at least everything works now.

Thanks whitestar for replying.
