Server Client table not saving

[Quarternions]

Making a little inventory but for some reason when I try to use a item the server acts as if the items aren't there :

[lua]
function PlayerInitialSpawn( ply )
ply.inv = {}
ply.inv.weight = 0
ply.inv.items = {}
ply.inv.equipment = {}

AddItem("Stick", 10, ply)
AddItem("Skull", 5, ply)

PrintTable(ply.inv.items)
end
hook.Add("PlayerInitialSpawn","initSpawn",PlayerInitialSpawn);
[/lua]

Prints it out as supposed to, the items are there.

[lua]
function UseItem( ply, command, arguments )
PrintTable(ply.inv.items)

for k,v in pairs(ply.inv.items) do
if(v[1] == arguments[1]) then
AddItem(arguments[1],-1,ply)
end
end
end
concommand.Add( "UseItem", UseItem )
[/lua]

The PrintTable function doesn't print anything, and I checked if its getting called by just adding a print in there.

Could anyone help me out here ?

Think I know it, i'm passing the player object from the client and the inventory is serverside so I probably need too look the player up in THE server. Can't check it now though at grandma for xmas

I am doing that, Its getting called but I mean its passing allong a player object from the client, and since the inventory is stored in the player serverside its not going to find a inventory in the clientside ply.

going to try it now, the additem function so you can take a look at it while I'm bussy :

[lua]
function AddItem( name, amount, ply )
local inItems = false
if(Items[name] != nil) then
for k,v in pairs(ply.inv.items) do
if(v[1] == name) then
inItems = true
v.amount = amount + v.amount
umsg.Start( "ChangeItem" );
umsg.String( name );
umsg.Short( v.amount );
umsg.End();
break
end
end
if(!inItem) then
table.insert(ply.inv.items, {name, amount})
umsg.Start( "AddItem" );
umsg.String( name );
umsg.Short( amount );
umsg.End();
end
end
end
[/lua]

clientside
[lua]
items = {}

function AddItem( data )
item = {}
item.Name = data:ReadString()
item.amount = data:ReadShort()

table.insert(items,item)
end
usermessage.Hook( "AddItem", AddItem )
[/lua]

OKe well nvm, somebody knows why it isn't working ?

Does PrintTable(items) show you the table? Also, fyi, you are sending the items to all players. Not sure if that is what you intended to do.

[Quarternions]

hahah lol no, didn't even notice, checking your question now.

on the client or did you mean something like on the server like ply.items ?

[editline]26th December 2010[/editline]

Both work, on the server : ply.items and clientside: items, but ply.items just gives me the clientside inventory I need the serverside one.

Thought I'd bump this a bit case I replied to this yesterday night when no-one was online

[Quarternions]

Oke well, its been a few days (4) and I'm still stuck for fucks sake anybody has a clue why this won't work ?

[ralle105]

First you have this
[lua]
local inItems = false
[/lua]
And then you have this further down the function
[lua]
if(!inItem) then
[/lua]
[b]s[/b]

[Quarternions]

Changed that but the result still stays the same

[Quarternions]

changed if(!inItem) to if(!inItems)
