Attempt to call method 'ProduceBomb' (a nil value)

[KillZone_SRB]

Well ive been worknig on a entity lately and its intended to make bombs but somehow it makes the first bomb without a problem however the 2nd time i select it and click produce it doesnt seem to work and i get that error

here is the code

function ENT:Use(user)
	umsg.Start( "bombfabmenu", user )
	umsg.Entity( self )
	umsg.End()
end


util.AddNetworkString("ButtonClicked")
net.Receive("ButtonClicked", function(len, player)

selfEnt:ProduceBomb(player)

end)

util.AddNetworkString("Selected")
net.Receive("Selected", function(len, player)

selected = net.ReadString()

end)


function ENT:ProduceBomb(ply)

	if The_Bombs[selected] then
		
			
			if ply:canAfford(The_Bombs[selected].Money) then
				print("Hello")
				local produce = ents.Create(The_Bombs[selected].Produce)
				produce:SetPos(selfEnt:GetPos() + self:GetAngles():Up() * 40)
				produce:Spawn()
				
				
				
			elseif
			not ply:canAfford(The_Bombs[selected].Money) then
		
				print("No")
		
			end
		
	end
	
end

What is "selfEnt"? It is nil.

[KillZone_SRB]

sorry forgot to add this and selfent is just a way to refrence to self

function ENT:Initialize()
	
	self:SetUseType(SIMPLE_USE)
	self:SetModel("models/props_lab/reciever_cart.mdl")
	self:PhysicsInit(SOLID_VPHYSICS)
	self:SetMoveType(MOVETYPE_VPHYSICS)
	self:SetSolid(SOLID_VPHYSICS)
	local phys = self:GetPhysicsObject()
	phys:Wake()
	self.damage = 650
	self.sound = CreateSound(self, Sound("ambient/machines/lab_loop1.wav"))
	self.sound:SetSoundLevel(300)
	self.sound:PlayEx(1,100)
	selfEnt = self
	
	
end

bump

[Rubat]

util.AddNetworkString("ButtonClicked")
net.Receive("ButtonClicked", function(len, player)

selfEnt:ProduceBomb(player)

end)

selfEnt here doesn't exist.

[KillZone_SRB]

yes but it doesn't say that is a issue it only says ProduceBomb(player) is nill

[QUOTE=KillZone_SRB;43871621]yes but it doesn't say that is a issue it only says ProduceBomb(player) is nill[/QUOTE]

That's because nil/NULL entity doesn't have that method.

[KillZone_SRB]

Any idea on a possible fix ?

[Rubat]

Since you are sending the entity, why not just read and use it?

net.Receive("ButtonClicked", function(len, player)

local selfEnt = net.ReadEntity()
selfEnt:ProduceBomb(player)

end)

[KillZone_SRB]

No luck same error , can it be something to do with shared.lua ?

function ENT:Initialize()
end

function ENT:SetupDataTables()
	self:NetworkVar("Entity", 0, "owning_ent")
end

The_Bombs = {}


The_Bombs["Regular Timed Bomb"] = {

Money = 4500,
Produce = "regular_timed_bomb",

}


The_Bombs["Advanced Timed Bomb"] = {

Money = 4500,
Produce = "advanced_timed_bomb",

}


The_Bombs["Ultimate Timed Bomb"] = {

Money = 4500,
Produce = "ultimate_timed_bomb",

}
