Some trouble with usermessages and ENT variables

[SomeFaggot]

I have a SENT which is assigned the variable VALUE before sending the entity and the variable its assigned separately to all players.

		local cash=ents.Create("rw_cash")
		cash.Value=victim.Money
		local cashamount = cash.Value
		cash:SetPos(victim:GetPos()+Vector(0,0,50))
		cash:Spawn()
		
		umsg.Start("DroppedCash");
			umsg.Entity(cash);
			umsg.Short(cashamount);
		umsg.End()

I want the player to receive the ENT in question and the value given to it. With these two things the player would see the amount drawn above the cash with a simple Paint hook I'm sure works.

function cash(um)
	local ent = um:ReadEntity()
	print(ent)
	local short = um:ReadShort()
	print(short)
	ent.Value = short
	print(ent.Value)
end

usermessage.Hook("DroppedCash", cash)

The ent and short are both received correctly, but I want to assign the value to the ENT clientside. But this is where I run into trouble.

When I print the ENT's value it always returns nil. What do?

Also, I tried replacing what ent.Value equals from the var short to a string: "hello"

It still did not work.

Fixed. It works now. It needed a slight delay.
