Getting variables from entities

[Endus322]

Is there a way for the gamemode init.lua to check a variable that is being changed in the init.lua of an entity? For example, an entity sensing a player nearby, and sending that entity to the gamemode init.lua

Thank you, Endus322

Can you be very specific about what you want? Your problem is too general

If I have an entity that has a variable, lets say, "Player." Is there a way for the gamemode files to use that variable in an if statement? like this

Entity files:

Player = "Endus322"

Gamemode files:

if(Player == "Endus322") then
     -- do something
end

I hope that clears it up

ENTITY.Player = "Endus322"
Though you should use SteamID, or straight up assign the player entity, depends what you need.
Also, if you need it on the client as well: [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Entity/SetNWString]Entity:SetNWString[/url], [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Entity/SetNWEntity]Entity:SetNWEntity[/url]

What is the reason for this need? Perhaps the whole thing can be solved more simply

There probably could be better ways, but I just wanted to know if it was possible for the future, seeing as it might be a problem I would run into.
