What am I doing wrong? (ent.Create)

[Minteh Fresh]

I googled this AND tried searching page after page on Facepunch, I have made an NPC in Singleplayer that sells vehicles and spawns them using ent.Create, works perfectly fine in SinglePlayer.

I uploaded it onto the server and tried it, first I was getting the error caused by the fact I hadn't forced it to run serversidely, rather than on whatever it was trying to, so I added if (SERVER) then, and closed it off etc.

But now I don't get any errors, I get nothing... It just won't spawn :|

concommand.Add("buy_car", function (ply, com, args, full)
	if (SERVER) then
		if #args < 3 then ply:ChatPrint("You have not supplied enough detail") return end
		local script = args[1]
		local model = args[2]
		local price = args[3]
	
		local car=ents.Create("prop_vehicle_jeep")
		car:SetKeyValue("vehiclescript", script)
		car:SetModel(model)
		car:SetAngles(Angle(0, 90, 0))
		car:Own(ply)
		car.Owner = ply
		car:KeysLock()
		car:SetPos(ply:GetPos() + Vector(0,300,10))
		car:Spawn()
		
		ply:AddMoney(-price)
	end
end)

And when I get rid of the if (SERVER) then etc, I get.

[ERROR] ...modes/darkrp/entities/entities/npc_car_dealer/shared.lua:38: attempt to call field 'Create' (a nil value)
  1. unknown - ...modes/darkrp/entities/entities/npc_car_dealer/shared.lua:38
   2. unknown - lua/includes/modules/concommand.lua:69

It works fine in singleplayer.

Hi,

Try this code :

function buycar( ply )

local script = args[1]
local model = args[2]
local price = args[3]
	
	buycar = ents.Create("prop_vehicle_jeep")
	buycar:SetModel( model )
	buycar:SetKeyValue("vehiclescript", script)
	buycar:SetAngles(Angle(0, 90, 0))
	buycar:Own(ply)
	buycar.Owner = ply
	buycar:SetPos( ply:GetPos() + Vector(0,300,10) )
        buycar:KeysLock()
	buycar:Spawn()

        ply:AddMoney( - price )
	
 
end
concommand.Add("buy_car", function (ply, com, args, full)

Not sure if this code will work, just try

I gave it a shot, and unfortunately it didn't work.
