LUA Error: attempt to call method 'Ignite' (a nil value)

[LUAJamie]

Hi, fellow LUA developers,

I keep getting this LUA error in my development server console:

[ERROR] addons/ion guns/weapons/jamie_ion_pistol/shared.lua:92: attempt to call method 'Ignite' (a nil value) 1. unknown - addons/ion guns/lua/weapons/jamie_ion_pistol/shared.lua:92

Are there any methods towards resolving this? Or is it an error best not tampered with?

Thanks in advance,

Jamie

It would be very helpful if you post line 80-100 from the shared.lua so we can take a look at the code.

Sounds like you're trying to call [B][URL="http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/indexc61b.html"]Ignite[/URL][/B] on something that isn't an entity.

But yeah, just the error won't help fix the issue, we need the code segment which is causing this.

Or you are trying to call Ignite on client.

Hi guys, I managed to fix this! Turns out I was calling Ignite in shared, and not in server.

So, I wrapped it like this:

    if SERVER then
	if trace.HitNonWorld then
       target = trace.Entity
       target:Ignite(10)
    if target:IsPlayer() or target:IsNPC() then
    target:Ignite(10)
	end
end
end

It works just fine!
