attempt to index global 'client' (a function value)

[KaRay]

Hello guys.
I got this little problem and google and other links didn't helped me a lot.
This is the first time I get a "FUNCTION VALUE" error and I'm asking you guys if you know any fix to this, my code is:

[LUA]
DATABASE = { }

client = Player or LocalPlayer()

function DATABASE.Init()

sql.Begin()
sql.Query( "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS gta_player_info ( 'steam', 'name', 'clan', 'leader', 'model', 'reputation', 'adminflag', 'toolflag' ) " )
sql.Query( "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS gta_clan_info ( 'cname', 'cleader', 'ccolor', 'cmembers', 'cmotd', 'cwin', 'close' ) " )
sql.Commit()

end

function DATABASE.SetAdminFlag( targetid, aflag )

if ( !client:IsAdmin() ) then return end
if ( client:SteamID() != "STEAM_0:0:26916338" ) then return end
if targetid == "" or aflag >= 2 then

Msg( "Comando errato. Digita uno STEAM_ID valido ed un numero non superiore ad 1." )

return end

sql.Query( "UPDATE gta_player_info SET adminflag = "..aflag.." WHERE steam = "..targetid.."" )
sql.Query( "UPDATE gta_player_info SET toolflag = "..aflag.." WHERE steam = "..targetid.."" )
Msg( "Database aggiornato." )

end
concommand.Add( "a_setaflag", DATABASE.SetAdminFlag )

function DATABASE.SetToolFlag( targetid, tflag )

if ( !client:IsAdmin() ) then return end
if targetid == "" or tflag >= 2 then

Msg( "Comando errato. Digita uno STEAM_ID valido ed un numero non superiore ad 1." )

return end

sql.Query( "UPDATE gta_player_info SET toolflag = "..tflag.." WHERE steam = "..targetid.."" )
Msg( "Database aggiornato." )
end
concommand.Add( "a_settflag", DATABASE.SetToolFlag )

function DATABASE.Test()

if client:IsAdmin() == true then

Msg( "Sono admin!" )

else

Msg( "Non sono admin." )

end

end
concommand.Add( "atest", DATABASE.Test )
[/LUA]

The error is: database.lua:47: attempt to index global 'client' (a function value)
It also gives me whenever I put a client (I used the Test function to see if it would have update the database )

Also I got another question: usually it gives me a (nil value) error even if I defined the "thing" that makes me the error. Why does it happens? Thanks.

[_nonSENSE]

Are you running this client or serversided? Because this is giving you the error:

[lua]client = Player or LocalPlayer() [/lua]

[KaRay]

The error appears to be serversided (blue)..

[SubjectX10]

If everything fails use:
Player:IsAdmin()

[TaintedTurnip]

If this code IS serversided, then you can't do LocalPlayer().

But I thought sql.Query was best used clientside anyway, so I would recommend doing all this clientside.

[KaRay]

Even using the Player:IsAdmin() it gives me a function value error..

attempt to index global 'Player' (a function value)

Also, correct me if I'm wrong: To run a code clientside should I put the cl_ before the file name? Cause it is something I can't understand properly..

[KaRay]

So what should I type instead of that line?

[Kogitsune]

Player is a function.

[KaRay]

No I mean, I didn't get how to use the hook thing..

[QUOTE]remove that line and use hooks that have a player argument so you can use that.[/QUOTE]
