It is probably trying to get a networked value or a normal value from the player object, and it isn't initialized.

The second argument is supposed to be the gamemode table, or nothing at all (nil). Whoever wrote the script that is doing this is trying to pass an argument to a hook, but failed to account for the second argument to [b][url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Hook.Call]Hook.Call [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img][/url][/b]. That is all I can say with the code you showed me.

Is there an easy fix for either of them?

[QUOTE=mikeym;25219421]Is there an easy fix for either of them?[/QUOTE] It's hard to say. The second one would probably be easy. Search all your Lua files for any references to [b][url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Hook.Call]Hook.Call [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img][/url][/b] ([url=http://www.prgrep.com/]PRGrep[/url] is useful for this kind of thing) and see which one is passing a bad second argument. Then, insert nil as a second argument. As for the first one, you need to find the script that defines DB.RetrieveSalary(), figure out what variable it is trying to use, and then hunt down the script that is supposed to initialize it. Then make sure it always gets initialized properly before a call to DB.RetrieveSalary() can be made.

I'm gonna try to find it :P

Find the code that is calling it wrong, and fix that. EDIT: If you want to make it easier, TEMPORARILY add this to the top of the hook.Call function: [lua] if gm && type(gm) != "table" then error("hook.Call used incorrectly!!!", 2) end [/lua] That will cause the game to report an error at the offending script, instead of Garry's function.

Can that script be anywhere or does it have to be near the hook.call that is passing a bad arguement

What the hell happened to the lua tags.

[lua]Oh god[/lua] Please please please dont be broken... [code]Code work[/code] Humm?

[QUOTE=Jcw87;25340015] TEMPORARILY add this to the [b]top of the hook.Call function[/b]: [/QUOTE] Example: [lua] function Call( name, gm, ... ) if gm && type(gm) != "table" then error("hook.Call used incorrectly!!!", 2) end -- This is the new line in hook.lua local b, rA, rB, rC, rD, rE, rF, rG, rH local HookTable = Hooks[ name ] [/lua]
