Do i have to have three seperate files for my sweps lua?

[Maglite]

Hello, i made a swep, and its pretty cool, but i get clientside errors when playing on multiplayer. I have all of the lua code in one file which is named [QUOTE]weapon_Maglite[/QUOTE]. Do i have to split some of this up into cl_init.lua init.lua and shared.lua? If so what would i need to put in their own files?

Here is the console error: Again i only get this error in multiplayer.

[QUOTE] [Maglite Launcher] lua/weapons/weapon_maglite.lua:54: attempt to call field 'Create' (a nil value)
1. ThrowLight - lua/weapons/weapon_maglite.lua:54
2. unknown - lua/weapons/weapon_maglite.lua:35

Here is my code:

 SWEP.PrintName			= "Maglite Launcher"	
SWEP.Author			= "MagliteUSA"		
SWEP.Instructions		= "left click and hold to fire an endless stream of Flashlights"
SWEP.Spawnable = true
SWEP.AdminOnly = true
SWEP.Primary.ClipSize		= -1
SWEP.Primary.DefaultClip	= -1
SWEP.Primary.Automatic		= true
SWEP.Primary.Ammo		= "none"
SWEP.Secondary.ClipSize		= -1
SWEP.Secondary.DefaultClip	= -1
SWEP.Secondary.Automatic	= false
SWEP.Secondary.Ammo		= "none"
SWEP.Weight			= 18
SWEP.AutoSwitchTo		= false
SWEP.AutoSwitchFrom		= false
SWEP.Icon = "materials/entities/weapons.png"
SWEP.Slot			= 1
SWEP.SlotPos			= 2
SWEP.DrawAmmo			= false
SWEP.DrawCrosshair		= true
SWEP.ViewModel			= "models/c_flashlight_zm.mdl"																						
SWEP.WorldModel         = "models/w_flashlight_zm.mdl"

if(CLIENT) then
SWEP.WepSelectIcon = surface.GetTextureID( "VGUI/weapon_Maglite" ) 
end

local ShootSound = Sound( "weapons/Impact_Bund.mp3" )



function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()
  self.Weapon :SetNextPrimaryFire( CurTime() + 0.07 )
  self:ThrowLight( "models/props_junk/gascan001a.mdl" )
  
end 



function SWEP:SecondaryAttack()
  self:ThrowLight( "Models/maxofs2d/lamp_flashlight.mdl" )

end 





function SWEP:ThrowLight( lamp_flashlight )
   self:EmitSound( ShootSound ) 
if ( client ) then return end

local ent = ents.Create( "prop_physics" )  

if ( !IsValid( ent ) ) then return end

ent:SetModel( "Models/w_flashlight_zm.mdl" ) 

    ent:SetPos( self.Owner:EyePos() + ( self.Owner:GetAimVector() * 16 ) )
	ent:SetAngles( self.Owner:EyeAngles() )
	ent:Spawn() 
 

local phys = ent:GetPhysicsObject()
if ( !IsValid( phys ) ) then ent :Remove() return end

local velocity = self.Owner:GetAimVector() 
velocity = velocity * 99999999990
velocity = velocity + ( VectorRand() * 10 )
phys:ApplyForceCenter( velocity )

 cleanup.Add(self.Owner, "props", ent )
 
 undo.Create( "ThrowLight" )
   undo.AddEntity( ent ) 
   undo.SetPlayer( self.Owner )
  undo.Finish()
end

Your problem is your if-statement: CLIENT is the clientside global. Lua is case-sensitive for variables.

How would i be able to fix it? copy that section and change it to if server, then paste it in there somewhere?
