Giving weapons through Derma?

[Flavoured]

I've tried a few things to get the player to be given a weapon after they press the button but it keeps giving me

attempt to call method 'Give' (a nil value)

this is the peice of code i've tried

[B]lua/autorun/client/cl_core.lua[/B]

local ply = LocalPlayer()
local M16 = vgui.Create( "DButton", ShopPanel1 )
M16:SetVisible( false )
M16:SetSize( 210, 30 )
M16:SetPos( 75, 65 )
M16:SetText( "M16" )
M16.DoClick = function ()
	ply:Give("weapon_zm_m16")
end

Give is a server side function, and you are trying to call it on the client.

So what you will need to do is either make a server file for the client one to communicate to, or make this one shared.

So move it to lua/autorun/shared/sh_core.lua or whatever you want to call it.

[lua]
if CLIENT then

local ply = LocalPlayer()
local M16 = vgui.Create( "DButton", ShopPanel1 )
M16:SetVisible( false )
M16:SetSize( 210, 30 )
M16:SetPos( 75, 65 )
M16:SetText( "M16" )
M16.DoClick = function ()
RunConsoleCommand("giveM16")
end

else

concommand.Add("giveM16", function (ply, cmd, args)
ply:Give("weapon_zm_m16")
end)

end
[/lua]

Now you will run the console command "giveM16" on the client, which will run that function on the server.
