attempt to call method 'PrintMessage' (a nil value)

[Basic]

Hello, I am getting the error "attempt to call method 'PrintMessage' (a nil value)" when I am running my script.

if SERVER then

	function WeaponEquip(wpn)

	local foundWeapon = false
	local ply = wpn:GetOwner()
	for i=1,20 do
		if wpn:GetClass() == RestrictedWeapons[i].Name then
			foundWeapon = true
			wpn:Remove()
		end
	end
		if foundWeapon == true then
			ply:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "[AMod] Sorry, you need a higher rank to carry this weapon.")
		end
	end
	hook.Add( "WeaponEquip", "PlayerWeaponEquip", WeaponEquip )
 
end

Your help is appreciated, thanks :)

You're not defining what ply is, edit your function WeaponEquip (wpn) with, function WeaponEquip (wpn, ply )

Your dumb.. Also OP, I can't see what the problem is atm, I'll just quick test it.

OP read the notes here: [b][url=wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Gamemode.WeaponEquip]Gamemode.WeaponEquip [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img][/url][/b]

Or if your lazy: [I]At the time this hook is called, the weapon doesn't have an owner. wep:GetOwner will return a Null Entity. The Weapon Owner is set on the next frame. I found it easiest to use timer.Simple to get around this problem. As shown in the example above. [/I]
