I am trying to send a large table from the server to the client by using multiple usermessages. After it sends about 6 strings in the table, it will stop working and I get this error on the server: [CODE]lua\includes\modules\glon.lua:248: Expected unescaped  to end string at position 113! (Got EOF)[/CODE] I made a thread about this error yesterday but if not all of the encoded string is there then why is it still sending about 6 strings from the table? This is my code: Server: [CODE]local Table = glon.decode(GetGlobalString("table")) umsg.Start("SetTable", ply) for k,v in ipairs(table) do umsg.String(v) end umsg.End() SetGlobalString("table", table.Empty(Table))[/CODE] Client: [CODE]local Table = glon.decode(GetGlobalString("table")) table.insert(Table, um:ReadString()) SetGlobalString("table", glon.encode(Table))[/CODE]
Instead of usermessages I used a shared lua file. I am still getting this error on the client only: [CODE]lua\includes\modules\glon.lua:248: Expected unescaped  to end string at position 197! (Got EOF)[/CODE] Im starting to think that maybe it has something to do with the global variable?
Does the client really need the entire table? Maybe set up a way so the client asks for a specific part of the table and only that is sent via the usermessage.
[QUOTE=Drakehawke;23617355]Does the client really need the entire table?

Using a shared lua file is less complicated and maybe better. I just don't understand why I am getting that error. Is there a better way to temporarily store a table than global strings and glon?

Do you have to use GLON?
[QUOTE=LauScript;23621203]Do you have to use GLON?[/QUOTE] You can't send tables with usermessages.
What are you putting inside this table of yours
I found out it was not because of the usermessages. It was something with the global vars, I stopped using them and it worked. Thanks your your help!
