Damn you net.WriteEntity()

[SeveredSkull]

Serverside:

function ENT:PopulateClientModels()
    net.Start("FarmPopulateModels")
        local ent = self // Ive tried the 2 variations below:
        print(self) // "Entity [311][mres_soil]"
        print(self.Entity) // "Entity [311][mres_soil]"
        print(ent) // "Entity [311][mres_soil]"
        net.WriteTable(self.Models)
        net.WriteEntity(ent)
        PrintTable(self.Models)
    net.Broadcast()
end
util.AddNetworkString("FarmPopulateModels")

Clientside

function PopulateModels(len, ply)
    local models = net.ReadTable()
    local ent = net.ReadEntity()
    print(ent) // prints out "[NULL Entity]"
    for k, v in pairs(models) do
        // Is this model empty?
        if v == "" then
            if ent.Slots[k] then
                // Yup. Nothing in that slot, remove the viewmodel
                ent.Slots[k]:Remove()
            end
        else
            if ent.Slots and ent.Slots[k] then
                // Remove the old one and make a new.
                ent.Slots[k]:Remove()
            end
            ent:MakeModel(k, v)
        end
    end
end
net.Receive("FarmPopulateModels", PopulateModels)

WHY?! Serverside gets the entity fine, but when I send it through the net library, I always get [NULL ENTITY] on Client despite that Server is displaying the proper entity and supposedly sending it...

[Drakehawke]

Is the entity in the clients PVS?

[SeveredSkull]

Yup. It is quite literally about 30 units away from me.
Function gets called when the entity is spawned by the player.

[Drakehawke]

That might be why, entities become valid clientside later than serverside, try sending it in a timer

Thx.
