Why is ent.Create causing an error?

[Willsmith190]

I'm having a problem with a script I'm making. The following code is causing an error that I don't quite understand...

local blowuprand = math.random(0,100)
	if (blowuprand / 100) <= self.SuicidePercent then
		if IsValid(self.Owner) then
			local gunexpl = ents.Create("env_explosion")
			local headindex = self.Owner:LookupBone("ValveBiped.Bip01_Head1")
			gunexpl:SetOwner(self.Owner)
			gunexpl:SetPos(self.Owner:GetPos())
			gunexpl:SetKeyValue("iMagnitude", "10")
			gunexpl:Spawn()
			gunexpl:Fire("Explode", "", 0)
		end
	end

It's called in the PrimaryAttack function. What is supposed to happen is, when the weapon is fired, there is a chance that it will explode, killing the player. The line 'ent.Create' is causing the following error, though:

[ERROR] ...town/entities/weapons/weapon_ws_bootlegshotty/shared.lua:196: attempt to call field 'Create' (a nil value)
  1. unknown - ...town/entities/weapons/weapon_ws_bootlegshotty/shared.lua:196

Why? What's wrong with that code?

You're calling it on the client, you need to do something like

[lua]if SERVER then

local blowuprand = math.random(0,100)
if (blowuprand / 100) <= self.SuicidePercent then
if IsValid(self.Owner) then
local gunexpl = ents.Create("env_explosion")
local headindex = self.Owner:LookupBone("ValveBiped.Bip01_Head1")
gunexpl:SetOwner(self.Owner)
gunexpl:SetPos(self.Owner:GetPos())
gunexpl:SetKeyValue("iMagnitude", "10")
gunexpl:Spawn()
gunexpl:Fire("Explode", "", 0)
end
end

end
[/lua]

Oh, thanks! This whole lua thing is so weird to me :)
