LUA global index error

[frosty802]

Well I'm coding a gamemode (name to be released soon) and I use abit of code from gmod wiki lua and theres an error.

Link to the gmod wiki lua code.
It's trying to index a global variable but I specifically say "local".

Error (gamemode name stared out):

****\gamemode\cl_init.lua:11: attempt to index global 'vgui' (a nil value)

The File LUA Code (of which it occurs):

Many Thanks,

Try this:

[lua]include( 'shared.lua' )
include( 'cl_scoreboard.lua' )
include( 'cl_hud.lua' )

// Clientside only stuff goes here

--Set Team Menu Start
function set_team()
if SERVER then return end

local frame = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
frame:SetPos( 100, ScrH() / 2 )
frame:SetSize( 200, 210 ) //Set the size
frame:SetTitle( "Select Team" ) //Set title
frame:SetVisible( true )
frame:SetDraggable( false )
frame:ShowCloseButton( true )
frame:MakePopup()

team_1 = vgui.Create( "DButton", frame )

team_1:SetPos( 30, 30 )
team_1:SetSize( 100, 50 )
team_1:SetText( "Team Red" )
team_1.DoClick = function() //Make the player join team 1

RunConsoleCommand( "team_1" )

end

team_2 = vgui.Create( "DButton", frame )

team_2:SetPos( 30, 85 ) //Place it next to our previous one
team_2:SetSize( 100, 50 )
team_2:SetText( "Team Blue" )
team_2.DoClick = function() //Make the player join team 2

RunConsoleCommand( "team_2" )

end

team_3 = vgui.Create( "DButton", frame )

team_3:SetPos( 30, 140 ) //Place it next to our previous one
team_3:SetSize( 100, 50 )
team_3:SetText( "Spectator" )
team_3.DoClick = function() //Make the player join team 3

RunConsoleCommand( "team_3" )

end

end
concommand.Add( "team_menu", set_team )

--Set Team Menu End[/lua]

If that fails (Which it really shouldn't), put

[lua]local vgui = vgui[/lua]

That is probably futile, but in the end it would speed up the running speed of the code by tiny amount - although you shouldn't be getting nil vgui errors on the client in the first place.

nope none of the suggested fixes worked :/

I'm very annoyed and please someone help!

In your init.lua did you include() cl_init.lua? That would cause this problem. You must only AddCSLuaFile() it.
