Hey, I'm having a bit of trouble here. I'm trying to spawn my entities through a loop table, but it shows this even. And I'm completely lost at what I'm supposed to do. I have an idea of what it might be, but if it is. Then FML lol
ps. All help is appreciated!

When do you call this? Also should be:
local function LoadAllEntities()
for k, v in ipairs(EntitiesToLoad) do
local SpawnedButton = ents.Create(v.ent)
SpawnedButton:SetPos(v.Position)
SpawnedButton:SetAngles(v.Angle)
SpawnedButton:Spawn()
SpawnedButton:Activate()
local phys = SpawnedButton:GetPhysicsObject()
if phys and phys:IsValid() then
phys:EnableMotion(false)
end
end
end
This way is better, but I don't even think I should be setting the variable inside the function when I should be making the variable i outside the function then assigning it for each loop.. Anyway back on track,
I'm calling it via InitPostEntity. It's currently placed inside my darkrp_modules folder. While I'm in-game, I'm testing again using a timer.simple ( considering everyone's already loaded on the map ) and it continues to gives the same error. #RipMe #Help
but I don't even think I should be setting the variable inside the
function when I should be making the variable i outside the function
then assigning it for each loop
no, do my way.
and it continues to gives the same error
would help a lot if you tell us what the error is.
I'm not going to be doing it that way, it's slower to make a new local variable for each loop. This is lua, not C++.
I care deeply about performance and would do anything to get the best performance, even if the results are very little.
Anyway, back on TRACK.
sv_devtest_jsons.lua was something else. :b This script was supposed to be for something else, but I ended up just making an Entity Spawning script that I'm getting an error out of.

Make sure your server is updated to the latest version - ents.GetEdictCount was added a fee updates ago.
Turns out you're right. :O I misread something online. I went to go re-read after what you said. I wish the guy above told me "why" I should be doing what he suggests. ;-; Would've helped instead of my cockiness fighting back. Also, My server is up to date. I'm running on Retributionv2, it was working at some point but I think I edited it at some random time and it just broke on me ever since. The error line points to ents.Create( v.Name )
Is there a chance I'm not getting the entity string from the table for ents.Create correctly?
The problem is you're calling ents.Create client-side; the incorrect error came from this.
I'm not calling it client side. Also, my problem was solved. Pretty funny though what the issue was. I forgot to remove an entity that doesn't exist in my Server anymore. Lol I didn't even notice it was still there even though there's only 13 indexs. ;-; Rip me.
ps. Should ask if I was running client-side before saying I'm running it via Client Side. :P :P
You're right; looking at the operation order now, I see that couldn't have been the case. Regardless, the error you posted above means ents.GetEdictCount doesn't exist on your server for some reason.
