Think hook not able to use GetName()?

[shoffing]

[lua]function think()
local all = ents.GetAll()

for _,v in pairs(all) do
if v:GetName() == "nectar_cap_red" then
RedCap = v
end

if v:GetName() == "nectar_cap_blue" then
BlueCap = v
end
end

if RedCap:IsValid() and BlueCap:IsValid() then
local minr, maxr = RedCap:WorldSpaceAABB()
local minb, maxb = RedCap:WorldSpaceAABB()

local in_r = ents.FindInBox(minr, maxr)
local in_b = ents.FindInBox(minb, maxb)

for k,v in pairs(in_r) do
if v:GetClass() != "ants_nectar" then
table.remove(in_r, k)
k = k - 1
end
end

for k,v in pairs(in_b) do
if v:GetClass() != "ants_nectar" then
table.remove(in_b, k)
k = k - 1
end
end

team.SetScore(1, #in_r)
team.SetScore(2, #in_b)
else
print("no cap zones!")
end
end
hook.Add("Think", "think", think)[/lua]

It's erroring with v:GetName(). Saying it's a nil method. Why is that? I thought Think would be able to use serverside functions...

Are you trying to get the entity's class? You should try v:[URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Entity.GetClass"]GetClass()[/URL].

Don't put this is shared, it will try to run it on both the server and the client. And GetName doesn't exist on the client.

Anyway, from the looks of it, it looks like you'd do this only serverside, so put it somewhere in init.lua.

And give a unique name to your Think hook, I'm not sure "think" is unique.

Ok I can do that. Thanks!

Also - no, I'm not trying to get the class. It's a trigger_multiple named nectar_cap_red and nectar_cap_blue that functions as the capture zone for nectar drops.
