What is the function to make a basic GUI open when you press E on a entity. What is the function and hook for opening a gui in the cl_init.lua.
include("shared.lua")
function ENT:Initialize ( )
self.AutomaticFrameAdvance = true
end
function ENT:Draw()
self.Entity:DrawModel()
end
function OpenTheSnitchMenu()
local frame = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
frame:SetPos( 1000, 720 )
frame:SetSize( 500, 250 )
frame:SetTitle( "The Snitch" )
frame:SetDraggable( true )
frame:MakePopup()
frame:Center()
local label = vgui.Create("DLabel" , frame)
label:SetPos(10, 40)
label:SetSize( 500,20)
label:SetText("Hey, I here you're lookin' for some friends of mine.")
local label2 = vgui.Create("DLabel" , frame)
label2:SetPos(10, 80)
label2:SetSize( 500,20)
label2:SetText("The Meth Dealer is in an alley next to the night club")
local label3 = vgui.Create("DLabel" , frame)
label3:SetPos(10, 120)
label3:SetSize( 500,20)
label3:SetText("The Black Market Dealer is behind a wooden door sized wall infront of hospital in the parking lot")
local label4 = vgui.Create("DLabel" , frame)
label4:SetPos(10, 160)
label4:SetSize( 500,20)
label4:SetText("The Drug Dealer is in an alley behind the hospital")
local label4 = vgui.Create("DLabel" , frame)
label4:SetPos(10, 160)
label4:SetSize( 500,20)
label4:SetText("The Drug Dealer is in an alley behind the hospital")
local label5 = vgui.Create("DLabel" , frame)
label5:SetPos(10, 200)
label5:SetSize( 500,20)
label5:SetText("The Chemist is in the radioactive subway go to the subway next to pd and go left when you enter")
usermessage.Hook("npc_snitch_onmenuopen",TheSnitchMenu)
This is what I had so for I put the function above the GUI to make it open and the hook bellow to make it work but it still doesn't work in game.
Start a net message on ent use and receive that message client side with the gui code inside that message.
This is all my entity code.

make a new file in lua/autorun. name it anything like usecode.lua etc
put this in:
[lua]
if SERVER then
util.AddNetworkString("opensnitchmenu")
else
function TheSnitchMenu()
local frame = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
frame:SetPos( 1000, 720 )

frame:SetDraggable( true )
frame:MakePopup()
frame:Center()
local label = vgui.Create("DLabel" , frame)
label:SetPos(10, 40)
label:SetSize( 500,20)
label:SetText("Hey, I here you're lookin' for some friends of mine.")
local label2 = vgui.Create("DLabel" , frame)
label2:SetPos(10, 80)
label2:SetSize( 500,20)
label2:SetText("The Meth Dealer is in an alley next to the night club")
local label3 = vgui.Create("DLabel" , frame)
label3:SetPos(10, 120)
label3:SetSize( 500,20)
label3:SetText("The Black Market Dealer is behind a wooden door sized wall infront of hospital in the parking lot")
local label4 = vgui.Create("DLabel" , frame)
label4:SetPos(10, 160)
label4:SetSize( 500,20)
label4:SetText("The Drug Dealer is in an alley behind the hospital")
local label4 = vgui.Create("DLabel" , frame)
label4:SetPos(10, 160)
label4:SetSize( 500,20)
label4:SetText("The Drug Dealer is in an alley behind the hospital")
local label5 = vgui.Create("DLabel" , frame)
label5:SetPos(10, 200)
label5:SetSize( 500,20)
label5:SetText("The Chemist is in the radioactive subway go to the subway next to pd and go left when you enter")
net.Receive("opensnitchmenu", TheSnitchMenu)

That error is pretty self explanatory, somewhere you are using a net message with a name you didn't declare with [URL="https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Calling_net.Start_with_unpooled_message_name"]util.AddNetworkString[/URL]. I suggest looking at line 22.

So put util.AddNetworkString( "opensnitchmenu" ) in init.lua
