Drawing elements for all players to see

[Fillipuster]

Hey everyone :D

I'm trying to draw a progress bar on an entity (in this case a workbench) using 3D2D. It essentially works, but there's one problem. Only the player who used the workbench can see the 3D2D.
Here's the idea:

Player uses (E) workbench --> Derma is displayed --> Player starts process (crafting) --> 3D2D progress bar is displayed.

Which means:

Entity(server) --> Player(client) --> Entity(client).

Now, for the code:

[I]After the player has used Derma (player - clientside):[/I]

function craftShipment( wep, bench )

	net.Start( "guncraft_craftShipment" )
		net.WriteTable( wep )
		net.WriteEntity( bench )
	net.SendToServer()

        bench:DrawProgress( wep ) -- Telling entity to draw 3D2D.

end

[I]The receiving end (entity - clientside)[/I]

function ENT:DrawProgress( wep )

	local prevTime = CurTime()

	local mulTime = wep.time * GC_cfg_shipmentTimeMultiplier

	function self:Draw()

		local owner = self:GetNWEntity( "GC_owner"):Nick() or "Unknown"

	    self:DrawModel()

	    local ang = self:GetAngles()

	    ang:RotateAroundAxis( self:GetAngles():Up() , 90 )

		cam.Start3D2D( self:GetPos() - Vector( 0, 0, -31 ), ang, 0.1 )

	    	draw.RoundedBox( 2, -290, -150, 580, 60, Color( 50, 50, 50, 200 ) ) -- Name Box
	    	draw.SimpleTextOutlined( owner.."'s Weapon Workbench" , "header1" , 0, -120, Color( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER , TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER, 1, Color( 0, 0, 0, 255 ) ) -- Name Text
	    	
	    	draw.RoundedBox( 2, -290, -80, 580, 230, Color( 50, 50, 50, 200 ) ) -- Status Box
	    	draw.RoundedBox( 2, -280, -10, 560, 150, Color( 50, 50, 50, 200 ) ) -- Progress Bar Box

		cam.End3D2D()

		if( CurTime() > prevTime + mulTime ) then return end

		cam.Start3D2D( self:GetPos() - Vector( 0, 0, -31 ), ang, 0.1 )

		   	draw.SimpleTextOutlined( wep.name.." Shipment" , "header1" , 0, -45, Color( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER , TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER, 1, Color( 0, 0, 0, 255 ) ) -- Crafting Text
		   	draw.RoundedBox( 2, -275, -5, ( ( CurTime() - prevTime ) / mulTime ) * 550, 140, Color( 50, 255, 50, 255 ) ) -- Progress Bar
		   	draw.SimpleTextOutlined( math.floor( ( ( CurTime() - prevTime ) / mulTime ) * 100 ).."%", "header0", 0, 60, Color( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER, TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER, 1, Color( 0, 0, 0, 150 ) ) -- Percent Indicator

		cam.End3D2D()

	end

end

To recap, the last piece of code only shows up for the player who used the workbench, not for any other player looking at it.

I don't understand why this wont show itself for all players. It's the entity who is told to draw stuff on itself, which should be visible to all players. It's not the client-side of the player that is told to draw stuff on the entity.

Any help is very much appreciated :)

Setup some datatables using [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/ENTITY/SetupDataTables]ENT:SetupDataTables[/url] and then use some code like this
[LUA]
function ENT:DrawProgress( wep )

self:SetDrawProgress(true)
self:SetPrevTime(CurTime())
self:SetWep(wep)

end

function ENT:Draw()

if self:GetDrawProgress() == true then

local wep = self:GetWep()

local prevTime = self:GetPrevTime()

local mulTime = wep.time * GC_cfg_shipmentTimeMultiplier

local owner = self:GetNWEntity( "GC_owner"):Nick() or "Unknown"

local ang = self:GetAngles()

ang:RotateAroundAxis( self:GetAngles():Up() , 90 )

cam.Start3D2D( self:GetPos() - Vector( 0, 0, -31 ), ang, 0.1 )

draw.RoundedBox( 2, -290, -150, 580, 60, Color( 50, 50, 50, 200 ) ) -- Name Box
draw.SimpleTextOutlined( owner.."'s Weapon Workbench" , "header1" , 0, -120, Color( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER , TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER, 1, Color( 0, 0, 0, 255 ) ) -- Name Text

draw.RoundedBox( 2, -290, -80, 580, 230, Color( 50, 50, 50, 200 ) ) -- Status Box
draw.RoundedBox( 2, -280, -10, 560, 150, Color( 50, 50, 50, 200 ) ) -- Progress Bar Box

cam.End3D2D()

if( CurTime() > prevTime + mulTime ) then return end

cam.Start3D2D( self:GetPos() - Vector( 0, 0, -31 ), ang, 0.1 )

draw.SimpleTextOutlined( wep.name.." Shipment" , "header1" , 0, -45, Color( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER , TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER, 1, Color( 0, 0, 0, 255 ) ) -- Crafting Text
draw.RoundedBox( 2, -275, -5, ( ( CurTime() - prevTime ) / mulTime ) * 550, 140, Color( 50, 255, 50, 255 ) ) -- Progress Bar
draw.SimpleTextOutlined( math.floor( ( ( CurTime() - prevTime ) / mulTime ) * 100 ).."%", "header0", 0, 60, Color( 255, 255, 255, 255 ), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER, TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER, 1, Color( 0, 0, 0, 150 ) ) -- Percent Indicator

cam.End3D2D()

end

self:DrawModel()

end

Or as an alternative you can just make an if statement and when you send client -> server do a server -> client back using net.Broadcast(); that sets the variable to true?
