clientside and ents.GetAll

[Watercycle]

in init.lua i have

function GM:InitPostEntity()
      util.AddNetworkString( "StartVeffects" )
end

function GM:PlayerSpawn()
     net.Start( "StartVeffects" )  //visual client effects     
     net.Send( ply )
end

in cl_init.lua

net.Receive( "StartVeffects", function()
     PrintTable( ents.GetAll() )
end )

now i'm confused because if you do ents.GetAll() without being handled by 'server to client steam' it will properly print out the entities

but in this scenario it will give an empty table

oddly enough, the .net stream also was unwilling to stream with net.WriteEntity(), it would come out as nil on the client's end... i would have assumed this was because AddNetworkString is not in shared, but that just gave me an error as well

its net not .net

.net is for windows and shit

and secondly its never even being sent to the client because you have commented it out

change
[lua] net.Start( "StartVeffects" ) //visual client effects net.Send( ply )[/lua]

to
[lua]
net.Start( "StartVeffects" )
net.Send( ply )
[/lua]

or something just get the send off the same line as your comment or remove the comment
