Entity "E" Action

[Fayhd]

I know that is a bad title but I cannot think of a better one.
Basically what I am trying to do:
Make an entity like a bell.
-You press E on it and it goes off.

This is what I have so far

The download is just my
-init.lua
-cl_init.lua
-shared.lua

What I am trying to do is make it so when I press E on the the entity it makes a sound. Any ideas?

It does not work. I would like it to be server sided as well forgot to say that. I put this in shared.lua
function ENT.Use()
surface.PlaySound("garrysmod/save_load1.wav")
end

[del]Entity.Use isn't a real function.[/del]

function ENTITY:Use()
self:EmitSound("garrysmod/save_load1.wav")
end

Remember this is serverside code.

Thanks for the help. But I am new to this
ENT:Use( Entity activator, Entity caller, number useType, number value )
What do I change in order to fit the sound I need etc.
Like an example code?

Remember this is serverside code.

Can I have an example as how this would work for me?

[McDunkinY]

To reiterate what BillyOnWiiU said.

ENT.Use is actually a function. What matters is the way it is written.

The difference between a period and a colon is that using a colon will pass itself as the first argument, for example:

function ENT.Use( self )
end

is the same as

function ENT:Use()
end

The example previously provided will emit a sound from the entity ( self ) when used.
