NetworkVar function returns nil value

[KTheScientist]

Hey guys just a quick one.

I made a custom player class, everything's was going smoothly, the player was given all the attributes I assigned it, the loadout override function worked fine, but when I add a self:NetworkVar() call to my PLAYER:SetupDataTables() hook, I get an error saying that NetworkVar() is a nil value.

Code looks like this:

DEFINE_BASECLASS( "player_default" )

local PLAYER = {}

PLAYER.WalkSpeed 			= 400
PLAYER.RunSpeed			= 400
//...etc.

function PLAYER:SetupDataTables()
	
	self:NetworkVar( "Float", 0, "Amount" );
	
end

player_manager.RegisterClass( "player_custom", PLAYER, "player_default" )

Any ideas? This method isn't deprecated is it?

Thanks in advance!

You're indexing the class, not the player. Use self.Player instead, e.g.

function PLAYER:SetupDataTables()
  self.Player:NetworkVar(...)
end

I also added an example to the PLAYER:SetupDataTables page.
