Custom flashlight does not work.

[Leafdroid]

I made a custom flashlight to make sure the light in firstperson is the same as in thirdperson, but it does not work. I have tried spawning the entity separately and it works perfectly.

Here is the code:

local lighton = 0

function LampOn() 

	local lamp = ents.Create( "gmod_lamp" )
	local pos = ply:GetPos()
	if ( !IsValid( lamp ) ) then return end

	lamp:SetModel( "models/maxofs2d/lamp_flashlight.mdl" )
	lamp:SetModelScale(0)
	lamp:SetFlashlightTexture( "effects/flashlight001" )
	lamp:SetLightFOV( 65 )
	lamp:SetRenderMode( RENDERMODE_TRANSALPHA ) 
	lamp:SetColor( Color( 255, 255, 255, 255 ) )
	lamp:SetDistance( 450 ) 
	lamp:SetBrightness( .3 ) 
	lamp:Switch( true )
	lamp:SetToggle( true )
	lamp:SetPos( Vector( pos.x, pos.y, pos.z+30 ) )
	lamp:SetParent( ply, 4 )
	lamp:Spawn()
	lamp:SetCollisionGroup( 10 )
	lamp:SetAngles( Angle( ply:GetAngles().x-10, ply:GetAngles().y, ply:GetAngles().z ) )

end


function FlashlightBind( ply, bind, pressed )
    if not pressed then return false end
	
	if (bind == "impulse 100") then
		if lighton == 1 then -- If lamp is turned on, turn it off (Remove it)
		
			lighton = 0
			ply:ChatPrint("Turned off the active light")
			ply:EmitSound("buttons/combine_button1.wav")
			lamp:Remove()
				
			return true
		else -- Else turn on the lamp
		
			lighton = 1
			ply:ChatPrint("Turned on the light")
			ply:EmitSound("buttons/button9.wav")
			LampOn()
			
			return true
		end
	end
end
hook.Add( "PlayerBindPress", "Turnoo", FlashlightBind )

When I turn it on/off it gives me this:

Turned on the light

You are running ents.create in clientside

I tried making it all serverside but then nothing worked and no errors either.

PlayerBindPress is clientside only -- you'll have to network it. Also, you are referencing lamp outside of the local scope

Awesome, got it to work. Thanks! :D
