With [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/surface/PlaySound]surface.PlaySound[/url] and the [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Category:net"]net library[/URL]

[mcNuggets]

[lua]
for _,v in ipairs(player.GetAll()) do -- loop through all player entities
v:SendLua("surface.PlaySound('Pistol.Reload')") -- Send lua to players
end -- end the loop
[/lua]

I would recommend however using the net library, but this is the easy method to get this done.

If you're gonna advise SendLua (Which you never should really), at least use brackets for the string, not quotation marks

For such a simple thing, it isn't wrong to use SendLua here.

It's never better to use SendLua, even for simple things, so why do it?
