with that grammar, i doubt you made it but anyway here:

[lua]
function kickthatplayer(ply)
local en = ents.FindInSphere(self.Entity:GetPos(), 300)
ply = LocalPlayer()
for _, v in pairs(en) do

if self.Owner:GetOwner(self.Entity) then
self.Owner:ChatPrint("hi")
end
end

end
timer.Create( "pref_" .. ply:UniqueID()'', 2, 0, kickthatplayer)
[/lua]
you need to define ply
