Teleporting Players

[PabloSky11400]

How would I teleport a player in glua? all I could think of is

ply:SetPos(Vector(5262.6, 6252.5, 62616.2)) << Not real made up!

My script is:

DermaButton.DoClick = function ( ply )
	newpos = ("-2721.942627, -1785.375122, -139.968750")
	ply = LocalPlayer()
	ply:SetPos(Vector( newpos ))
end

I obviously have changed it to have no newpos var and just put the position inside the SetPos but that didn't work either!
There is no errors in my code and have no clue why its not working.
Please help

So you are trying to teleport player clientside? Lol.
You should really learn difference between serverside functions and clientside functions, because you are basically trying to teleport player without having such powers (ergo, you are not a server).
Errors do not appear because you are testing it on singleplayer, try testing it on SRCDS or multiplayer.

In other words, Entity:SetPos() is a serverside function and cannot be used clientside (unless it's something like a CLuaEmitter ofc), so do not run it in stuff like derma menus.

This is in multiplayer, 2. Thanks for saying that its server side but how would I put a button from clientside to server? So I put a usermessage hook? or what?

I would suggest using net library.
Usermessages are net's predecessor.

Sorry, I'm on phone but client-side
[LUA]
net.Start ( "MyCoolMessage" )
net.SendToServer ()
[/LUA]

server-side
[LUA]
util.AddNetworkString ( "MyCoolMessage" )

net.Receive ( "MyCoolMessage", function ( messageLength, ply )
print( "message received, sent by " .. ply:Nick() )
--set their pos and such
end )
[/LUA]

Getting this error

This is my full code I have done:

	timer.Simple(5,function()
		local npc = ents.Create("ammo_vendor")
		npc:SetPos(SPAWN_POS)

I know my script is messy and not polished or anything but don't shout at me please:P! Im new to this!

That's because you are using usermessage to open the menu and appearently you removed it from serverside code.
