Need help with this script.

[Loki611]

I was looking on the Gmod wiki about NWint's and PData's and decided to try to make a very basic rank system with it. After a little more research I came up with this. Everything works on it other than when you reconnect to the server, it removes your rank. So I was wondering if anyone could help me, or tell my why it doesn't save, and their are no errors in console. All help will be appreciated.

shared.lua:

[LUA]local meta = FindMetaTable( "Player" )

function meta:IsVIP()
if ( self:GetNWInt( "Rank" ) == 1 ) then
return true
else
return false
end
end
function meta:SaveVIP()
self:SetPData( "Rank", self:GetRank() )
end
function meta:GiveVIP()
self:SetNWInt( "Rank", 1 )
self:SaveVIP()
end
function meta:TakeVIP()
self:SetNWInt( "Rank", 0 )
self:SaveVIP()
end
function meta:GetRank()
return self:GetNWInt("Rank")
end[/LUA]

And the init.lua;

[LUA]function setrankspawn(ply)
if ply:GetPData("Rank") == nil then
ply:SetNWInt("Rank", 0)
ply:SetPData("Rank", 0)
print("Created data for "..ply:Nick())
else
ply:SetNWInt("Rank", ply:GetPData("Rank"))
print("Loaded data for "..ply:Nick())
end
end
hook.Add("PlayerInitialSpawn", "loadvip", setrankspawn)
function dissave(ply)
ply:SaveVIP()
print("Saving for "..ply:Nick()..".")
end
hook.Add("PlayerDisconnected", "savingdude", dissave)
function rankup(ply)
ply:GiveVIP()
ply:SendLua("GAMEMODE:AddNotify(\"You're now vip!\", NOTIFY_GENERIC, 5)")
end
concommand.Add("rankup", rankup)
function checkrank(ply)
if !ply:IsVIP() then
ply:SendLua("GAMEMODE:AddNotify(\"You're not vip.\", NOTIFY_GENERIC, 5)")
else
ply:SendLua("GAMEMODE:AddNotify(\"You're vip\", NOTIFY_GENERIC, 5)")
end
end
concommand.Add("Rank", checkrank)[/LUA]
