SetPos() issue with a food menu.

[Benjii]

I have made a Food NPC which will give you entities when you buy them from the menu however I can't for the life of me get the position to set when the entity spawns. The entity spawns yet the position I have tried to set has been ignored. I also couldn't get the NPC to spawn in to the map when the server starts up.

Also the numbers on the Vector don't mean anything, it's just so I could see if I was getting the numbers wrong.

why are you calling net receive in a loop?
it'll just override the netmessage with the last entity in that table

your tables aren't even proper syntax, your code won't even run.

also there's much better ways of doing things than having a netmessage per entity, use one netmessage instead if you absolutely have to and use [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/net/WriteEntity]net.WriteEntity[/url] to broadcast the specific type
