Giving ammo through a derma button.

[Deutsch]

When I try to use LocalPlayer():GiveAmmo( 100, "Pistol" ) in the following code....

[lua]
local CategoryContentFive = vgui.Create( "DButton" )
--CategoryContentFive:SetPos( 100, 30 )
CategoryContentFive:SetSize( 25, 25 )
CategoryContentFive:SetText( "Pistol Ammo" )
CategoryContentFive.DoClick = function()
LocalPlayer():GiveAmmo( 100, "Pistol" )
LocalPlayer():GiveAmmo( 100, "357" )
end
SCategoryList:AddItem( CategoryContentFive )
[/lua]

That code is located in a menu function in cl_init.

I get the following error:

Battleground/gamemode/cl_init.lua:68: attempt to call method 'GiveAmmo' (a nil value)

I think it's because derma is clientside.

Help please.

You could put it on a console command, you can do any required checks with the console command and start it with `(same symbol used to open the console)

GiveAmmo() is server side stop running it clientside

That's what I thought, how should I make it give ammo then, the button. make a concommand that they execute on press, and in the specific concommand I'd have the function.

You could do something like

[lua]concommand.Add("giveammo",function(pl,cmd,args)
local ammo, amt = args[1],tonumber(args[2])
if not amt then pl:ChatPrint("That is not a valid amount of ammo!") return end
pl:GiveAmmo(amt,ammo)
end)[/lua]

Or you could make them run a concommand
