Can't create Player ragdoll?

[Angry pepper]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm trying to develop a gamemode and for some reason, I can't seem to get a Player ragdoll to spawn on death with GM:CreateEntityRagdoll(ply,ply) or ply:CreateRagdoll(), I've tried both methods but none have given anything.
I've only just touched gamemodes and I'm quite oblivious to how some of this works.

So, here's the code:
[lua]function GM:DoPlayerDeath()
RagdollCreate(pl)
end

function RagdollCreate(pl)
return GM:CreateEntityRagdoll(pl,pl)
end[/lua]

And here's the error when using GM:CreateEntityRagdoll() (CreateRagdoll did nothing):
[QUOTE]
[ERROR] gamemodes/impulse/gamemode/player.lua:59: attempt to index global 'GM' (a nil value)
1. RagdollCreate - gamemodes/impulse/gamemode/player.lua:59
2. unknown - gamemodes/impulse/gamemode/player.lua:55[/QUOTE]
.

So, this worked yesterday, and now, all of a sudden... bam, doesn't spawn anything and gives me an error, I'm not sure on what to do with "GM", because if I change it, something else will most likely screw up... so, any ideas?

It is probably the simplest answer and I'm too thick to realize, it wouldn't be the first time...

I assume this is a server side file.

[Vegasx]

function GM:DoPlayerDeath()
RagdollCreate(pl)
end

Try instead

hook.Add("DoPlayerDeath", "name", function()
RagdollCreate(pl)
end)

Since your problem seems to be the GM

Maybe at least. I have no idea what do about Gamemodes.

I probably should've added, the GM problem occurs on:
return GM:CreateEntityRagdoll(pl,pl), It'll still return a nil value... thanks anyway.

I've tried it server and client but none have worked, I'm assuming you mean the file I actually used it on, rather than the actual function.

[Vegasx]

function GM:DoPlayerDeath(pl)
RagdollCreate(pl)
end

It could be having a rough time defining "pl", so add it to the syntax.

Seems to have done nothing, sorry.
I don't think "pl" is relevant to the error.

You have to use GAMEMODE instead of GM, GM is only used for building the GAMEMODE object/table and can't be used after the first tick.

function GM:DoPlayerDeath(pl)
RagdollCreate(pl)
end

function RagdollCreate(pl)
return GAMEMODE:CreateEntityRagdoll(pl,pl)
end

I just tried it, no error but it rather did nothing... seems that everything that SHOULD work is infact failing... Guess I should just make the player explode in to a few particle effects on death...
