Question about server/client

[SkitZz]

Alright, so I'm making this question npc thingy, but i keep getting this error. It obviously has to do with serverside/clientside, but i cannot quite figure it out. Could anyone please help?

local TextEntry = vgui.Create( "DTextEntry", Frame )	
TextEntry:SetPos( 65, 49 )
TextEntry:SetSize( 75, 25 )
TextEntry:SetText( "Yes/No" )
TextEntry.OnEnter = function( self, ply )
	if self:GetValue() == "Yes" then
	chat.AddText("Correct!")
	ply:SetNWBool( "question1_true", true)
	else
	chat.AddText("Wrong!")
end

Error:

attempt to index local 'ply' (a nil value)

Thanks for your help.

Just use LocalPlayer()

Then what do i do if i want to read the NWBool using GetNWBool serverside? That just returns "LocalPlayer() a nil value"

Depending on what function you are calling it on serverside, you use ply generally for serverside and LocalPlayer for client side.

Alright, so i did this clientside:

local TextEntry = vgui.Create( "DTextEntry", Frame )	
TextEntry:SetPos( 65, 49 )
TextEntry:SetSize( 75, 25 )
TextEntry:SetText( "Yes/No" )
TextEntry.OnEnter = function( self, ply )
	if self:GetValue() == "Yes" then
	chat.AddText("Correct!")
	LocalPlayer():SetNWBool( "question1", true)
	else
	chat.AddText("Wrong!")
end

But when i try and get the NWBool serverside, it just returns false no matter what:

function AddStaff(ply)


print(ply:GetNWBool("question1"))



end
concommand.Add( "BoolTest", AddStaff )

What could i be doing wrong?

SetNW* functions on client DON'T send changes to server. You'll have to use netmessages probably.

Yeah, so i tried that:

local TextEntry = vgui.Create( "DTextEntry", Frame )	
TextEntry:SetPos( 65, 49 )
TextEntry:SetSize( 75, 25 )
TextEntry:SetText( "Yes/No" )
TextEntry.OnEnter = function( self, ply )
	if self:GetValue() == "Yes" then
	chat.AddText("Correct!")
	net.Start("question_1", false)
	net.SendToServer()
	else
	chat.AddText("Wrong!")
end

I keep getting

Calling net.Start with unpooled message name! [http://goo.gl/qcx0y]

Never mind, i found out why. I forgot to add

util.AddNetworkString( "question_1" )

[DEL]You must pool the message name. [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/util/AddNetworkString[/url][/DEL]

got ninja'd by an edit

How would i go about reading that NWBool then?

I tried doing this serverside:

function GetInfo(pl)
	
	print(pl:GetNWBool("question_1_correct"))

end

	concommand.Add("Question_Answer", GetInfo)

It just always returns false.

Edit: Found out why :P
