Kill function gives me an Error - Developers

So I need a bit of help here. I am making an Admin SWEP for my server, and the SWEP works. The reason why im asking help is because of this weird error. In my code im using the function Kill on a player which works and has been tested. The SWEP has been tested many times and works great no problem with it, but even then, there keeps poping an error in the console: [lua]weapons/sleeper/shared.lua:61: attempt to call method 'Kill' (a nil value)[/lua] Anybody knows why it keeps saying this to me even if the SWEP works. If you need to see my code here it is: [lua] if ( !self:CanPrimaryAttack() ) then return end self:TakePrimaryAmmo( 0 ) self.Weapon:SetNextPrimaryFire( CurTime() + 0.5 ) self.Weapon:SetNextSecondaryFire( CurTime() + 0.5 ) local ent = self.Owner:GetEyeTrace().Entity if ent:IsPlayer() then ent:Kill( ent ) end if ent:IsPlayer() then ent:Lock( ent ) end [/lua] I didn't put all the code, only the part where im using the function. Hope you can figure it out.

Hope you can figure it out.[/QUOTE] This may not fix it, but try turning the ent:Kill( ent ) into ent:Kill() Also change the two if ent:IsPlayer() then to if ent:IsValid() and ent:IsPlayer() then

The fact of changing the: [lua]Kill(ent)[/lua] To: [lua]Kill()[/lua] Dosen't work. I tried all you said but still doen't work, need something else :/.

Make sure its only running on the server. Kill doesn't exist clientside.

[QUOTE=foszor;18174429]Make sure its only running on the server. Kill doesn't exist clientside.[/QUOTE] Hmm... ok, but it still works, anyway, I am implementing this function in the shared.lua file, would I need to put it in the cl_init.lua or init.lua, if so, how would I do that because the code is quite simple.

Of course it still works, because you're executing Kill on the server AND the client. You only want to do it on the server though.

[QUOTE=foszor;18174547]Of course it still works, because you're executing Kill on the server AND the client. You only want to do it on the server though.[/QUOTE] Alright but how would you do that? make a function if ( SERVER ) ? other than that I don't see how... Can you help me out a bit please.

Encapsulate the portion that Kills the player in an [b]if ( SERVER ) then[/b] condition.

Alright I'll try that out in a second. I'll get back to you if it dosen't. Final Edit: Alright thanks, I got it working now. Thanks alot for your help and your comprehension.

BTW, to answer your earlier question cl_init.lua is clientside only code shared.lua is client and server code init.lua is server only code

One of the things that bugs me is when someone get's an error they go "OMG ERROR HELP ME F1X" and they don't even read the error...

[QUOTE=Magnificor;18192033]One of the things that bugs me is when someone get's an error they go "OMG ERROR HELP ME F1X" and they don't even read the error...[/QUOTE] Yeah that anoys me as well, this is why I always try fixing it my self, and if I can't well I ask for help and give the error report.
