Help with an entity

[sintwins]

I'm trying to make an entity and I was testing it with jsut the basics put in but it's not working. It doesn't even show up on the menu. I put it into lua/entities/test/ with the shared in the test folder, client in the client folder and server in the server folder.

Server

AddCSLuaFile( "cl_init.lua" )
AddCSLuaFile( "shared.lua" )
include('shared.lua')

function ENT:Initialize()
    self:SetModel("models/props/cs_assault/moneypallet_washerdryer.mdl")
	self:PhysicsInit(SOLID_VPHYSICS)
	self:SetMoveType(MOVETYPE_VPHYSICS)
	self:SetSolid(SOLID_VPHYSICS)
	local phys = self:GetPhysicsObject()
	if phys:IsValid() then phys:Wake() end
end 

Client

include("shared.lua")

function ENT:Initialize()
end

function ENT:Draw()
	self.Entity:DrawModel()
end

function ENT:Think()
end
 

Shared

ENT.Type 			= "anim"
ENT.Base 			= "base_wire_entity"

ENT.PrintName		= "drug plant"
ENT.Author			= "moi"
ENT.Contact			= "none of your business"
ENT.Purpose			= "test"
ENT.Instructions	= "test"

ENT.Spawnable			= true
ENT.AdminSpawnable		= true

I think you have the locations of the Lua files wrong. You should have a file named cl_init.lua which contains all of your client code, a file called init.lua which contains all of your server code and a file called shared.lua which includes the shared code. All three of these should go in lua/entities/test/ in your case.

I put them where you said and restarted gmod. Still the same :(

EDIT it shows up on the entity menu but I can't spawn it.

Your init.lua needs an ENT:SpawnFunction to tell it exactly what to do when you try to spawn one of these via the spawn menu. There's a nice standard one in the Wiki: [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=ENT.SpawnFunction[/url]

Just copy and paste into your init.

Thanks Johnny, I was having this exact problem, too. I'll try it out now.
