chat.AddText (attempt to index global 'chat' (a nil value))

[tyguy]

So yeah, that's my error. I'm trying to use it in a function. I assume the chat. doesn't exist because it's a nil value.

[Wizard of Ass]

Use it clientside, not serverside.

[tyguy]

I need it for a gamemode though, so doesn't that mean it has to be serverside?

[Kingof🅱east]

Send a message from the server and use clientside code to catch the message and do chat.AddText

[tyguy]

Still new to lua lol. Sorry :P

[zachy64]

Or you can use
[LUA]
BroadcastLua("chat.AddText()")
[/LUA]

EDIT:
(Oh, I didn't know he wanted to send it to one person xD)

[JustSoFaded]

Unless he only wants player B to run it?

[zachy64]

Oh, haha, I was really tired when I said that, here is what he wants

Server
[LUA]
util.AddNetworkString("notify")

net.Start("notify")
net.WriteString(msg) -- This is the message you're sending to client, change msg to whatever
net.Send(ply) -- ply is the player that you are sending the message to
[/LUA]

Client
[LUA]
net.Receive("notify", function ()
message = net.ReadString()
chat.AddText(Color(0, 170, 255), message)
end)
[/LUA]

That should work... let me know if it doesn't and I can try to help you
