Attempted to create unknown entity type "npc_property_buy" !

[Yuri6037]

Hi all,

So i succeeded to make door owning system, and now i'm making an NPC to buy every type of property in rp_evocity_v33x.
I defined a table on my gamemode shared.lua to link door EntIndex() to a property, or to a public door. Now i'm on my way to make the npc gui when use it.

So i defined my npc in garrysmod/gamemodes/realistic_roleplay/entities/npc_property_buy/.
I made 3 files : init.lua (server init), cl_init.lua (client init) and shared.lua.

You need to know before i post codes, i'm calling method and vars that are defined in the gamemode (GameGlobal is a useful set of usefull methods, ...)

cl_init.lua

include('shared.lua')
ENT.RenderGroup = RENDERGROUP_BOTH
 
function ENT:Draw()
         self.Entity:DrawModel( )    
end

net.Receive("ShowBuyPropertyFrame", function(len, pl)
	CreateDialogPanel()
end)

function CreateDialogPanel()
	--Defining main display frame
	local mainFrame = vgui.Create("DFrame")
	mainFrame:SetPos(50, 50)
	mainFrame:SetSize(812, 512)
	mainFrame:SetVisible(true)
	mainFrame:SetTitle("Buy a property...")
	mainFrame:SetDraggable(true)
	mainFrame:ShowCloseButton(true)
	
	local propertyList = vgui.Create("DComboBox", mainFrame)
	propertyList:SetPos(10, 35)
	propertyList:SetSize(128, 412)
	propertyList:SetMultiple(false)
	for k, v in pairs(properties) do
		propertyList:AddItem(v.name)
	end	
	
	local displayPanel = vgui.Create("DPanel", mainFrame)
	displayPanel:SetPos(140, 35)
	displayPanel:SetSize(650, 412)
	displayPanel.Paint = function()
		surface.SetDrawColor(Color(0, 0, 0, 255))
		surface.DrawRect(0, 0, 650, 412)		
	end
 --TestingComboBox:GetSelectedItems()[1]
	
	mainFrame:MakePopup()
end

shared.lua

ENT.Base = "base_ai" 
ENT.Type = "ai"
ENT.PrintName		= "Buy Property"
ENT.Author			= "Yuri6037"
ENT.Category		= "Realistic_Roleplay"
ENT.Contact			= "[e-mail]"
ENT.Purpose			= "N/A"
ENT.Instructions	= "Press A"
ENT.AutomaticFrameAdvance = true

function ENT:SetAutomaticFrameAdvance( bUsingAnim )
	self.AutomaticFrameAdvance = bUsingAnim
end

init.lua

AddCSLuaFile("cl_init.lua")
AddCSLuaFile("shared.lua")
 
include('shared.lua')

GameGlobal:PrintMessage("Initializing buy_property_npc...")

function ENT:Initialize() 
	self:SetModel("models/Barney.mdl")
	self:SetHullType(HULL_HUMAN)
	self:SetHullSizeNormal()
	self:SetNPCState(NPC_STATE_SCRIPT)
	self:SetSolid(SOLID_BBOX)
	self:CapabilitiesAdd(CAP_ANIMATEDFACE)
	self:CapabilitiesAdd(CAP_TURN_HEAD)
	self:SetUseType(SIMPLE_USE)
	self:DropToFloor()
	self:SetMaxYawSpeed(90)
end

util.AddNetworkString("ShowBuyPropertyFrame")
function clientOpenFrame()
    net.Start("ShowBuyPropertyFrame")        
    net.Broadcast()
end

function ENT:Use(activator, caller)
	clientOpenFrame()    
end

function ENT:OnTakeDamage(dmg) 
	return false
end

So "properties" table is defined in gamemode shared.lua witch is included to every clients on the server. So both server and client can access the file. It contains infos such as jobs infos, defined properties, npc_property_buy location, and some else.

Why nobody has answers ?

Nobody has ever tried to make a property seller NPC ? Are you just wanting to ignore me ? Do you just don't know what's happening ?
