Strange problem with net.Receive()

[Gabyfle]

Hi everyone !

I'm making a little gamemode on my own and I have a little problem since I re-organized my code.

I have a table called "classes", in wich there is some attributes (like other tables).
I've implemented some methods to this table, doing this way :

function classes:callClass(ply)
-- My code
end
In a server-side file, I got a net.Receive(), in wich I've putted a method of the classes table. I'm doing like that :
net.Receive("mybeautyfulnet", classes:Method)
When I get in game, I got this beautifull error :
[ERROR] gamemodes/mygamemode/gamemode/modules/mymod/sv_my_mod.lua:40: function arguments expected near ')'
I can't find the reason of this error, I think everything is okay...

If someone can help me to fix this issue, it can be very cool

Thanks a lot in advance for all your help,
Gabyfle

Read this page: net.Receive
The examples on there show how a net.Receive should be setup properly.

You're not missing any function arguments on net.Receive(). You're missing them on classes.Method.

The function is clases.Method, not classes:Method.

Using a colon instead of a period means it will try to run the function, as in doing classes:Method(). It is complaining that you're missing the () after the word Method, and that any arguments Method may need are not being supplied. Namely, Method needs to take two arguments: Length and Ply, as described in moku's link.

So, if I follow what you are saying to me, I have to create an anonymous function in wich I call my method ?

I am not 100% certain; it's been a long time for me since I coded for this game. But I don't think the function needs to be anonymous; I think you're just referencing it with the wrong punctuation symbol.

The function does not have to be anonymous - the issue with your original code is you are using a colon instead of a dot. This still won't work with your method, however, since it takes a class as the first argument, yet net callbacks provide len and player arguments.

I didn't know this subtlety of language, thanks

I have no more errors, but my code does not work, the parameters are not passed (len and ply = nil)...

really class:function(arguments) is just a fancy way of doing class.function(self,arguments)
