help! function won't load :O

[grunewald]

so all the files are inside the same folder and i dosen't get reported any other problems.

GetValue() is inside smartvar.lua
and then Getvalue() is used in those functions SkillGetLevel(), SkillGetXP and SkillRequired(). inside skill.lua
and when i call them from cl_init.lua it's a nil value :(

just ask if you need more information, i really hope someone can fix this..

ERROR:

Is there any earlier messages that you can see? Can be hard when you're running it in HUD code so you may want to run "lua_log_cl 1" before going onto the server/creating a game and setting it back to 0 after spawning in. Then you can look in the garrysmod/garrysmod directory for something like lua_errors_client.txt or something like that.

you aren't defining player as anything besides the global table. replace with LocalPlayer()
