You have to send info with net.Start.

Where are you getting that error?

Client side code:

local SetButton = vgui.Create( "DButton", PlayerList )
SetButton:SetPos( PlayerList:GetWide()/2-50,PlayerList:GetTall()/2+125 )
SetButton:SetSize( 100, 50 )
SetButton:SetTextColor( Color( 0, 255, 0 ) )
SetButton:SetText( "Submit" )
SetButton:SetFont( "Buttons_Text" )
SetButton.Paint = function()
draw.RoundedBox( 0, 0, 0, PlayerList:GetWide(), PlayerList:GetTall(), Color( 42, 42, 42 ) )
end
SetButton.DoClick = function()
net.Start( "send_info_to_server" )
net.WriteString( PlayerName,PlayerRank )
net.SendToServer()
end
SetButton.OnCursorEntered = function( self )
self.hover = true
self:SetTextColor( Color(100, 255, 255) )
end
SetButton.OnCursorExited = function( self )
self.hover = false
self:SetTextColor( Color(0, 255, 0) )
end

You must be opening serverside scripts with lua_openscript and clientside with lua_openscript_cl.

I'd recommend you just get rid of the test/ folder and have the scripts load automatically.

Make a addon folder and do this

Addon_name/lua/autorun/autorun.lua

inside autorun.lua

if SERVER then
	include("sv_code.lua")
	AddCSLuaFile("cl_code.lua")
elseif CLIENT then
	include("cl_code.lua")
end

then place the files sv_code and cl_code at directory

Addon_name/lua/ HERE

You are running clientside code on server and serverside code on client.

[lRoberth]

[QUOTE=Robotboy655;49276330]You are running clientside code on server and serverside code on client.[/QUOTE]

This is exactly i did: i create a folder on addons/ and i called it "test", then i created another folder inside addons/test/ called lua, and again i created a new folder inside addons/test/lua/ and i called it autorun.

Inside i pasted my two .lua, sv_test.lua and cl_test.lua and i created another lua called autorun.lua and the code what is inside of it it's:
[QUOTE]if SERVER then
include("sv_test.lua")
AddCSLuaFile("cl_test.lua")
elseif CLIENT then
include("cl_test.lua")
end[/QUOTE]

Now i started it from another way, and now im just getting this error (The same as the second one)

File structure should go like this

inside autorun.lua put this
[lua]

include("sv_code.lua")
AddCSLuaFile("cl_code.lua")
elseif CLIENT then
include("cl_code.lua")
end

Bretty good tute for newbies, save this and reuse it

[zamboni]

Why not just do this?:

With the way Disco posted, since it's in the base of the autorun folder, it's just a more complicated way of doing what GMod can do on its own.
Putting them in the respective folders inside autorun automatically does what your 'autorun.lua' script is doing, and seems to be slightly more organized.

Though, if you have a larger project with many files, and specific load orders, then perhaps Disco's way is better.

util.AddNetworkString only exists on the sever .. you tried to run it on the client or something have overwritten the "util." module-table.

util.AddNetworkString have to be executed on the server before the client can send net-messages.

Try add these lines to the top of the files, to debug the problem:
sv_code.lua
[lua]
if !SERVER then
print("[sv_code] Cant run on client!")
return
else
print("[sv_code] I ran the on server :D")
end
[/lua]

cl_code.lua
[lua]
if !CLIENT then
print("[cl_code] Cant run on server!")
return
else
print("[cl_code] I ran on the client :D")
end
[/lua]

[Geferon]

Also when puting find on autorun even if the name is cl_ or sv_ will run the files clientside and serverside.
What you should do to fix it is put them in autorun/server or autorun/client respectively
