player:give function ?

[BALIST0N]

hi everyone, i ask to the " player:give " work ?
because i have created a menu with some icons (like the original sandbox menu) and i want to give a weapon to the player when he click on it

seems like this : (A CLIENT SIDE CODE)

-- Weapons Content Here ! -- 
	
	local icon = vgui.Create( "ContentIcon", Frame )
	icon:Center()
	icon:SetMaterial( "entities/weapon_pistol.png" )
	icon:SetName( "Pistol" )
	--icon.DoClick = function() RunConsoleCommand( "give", "weapon_pistol" ) end                        <= doesn't work, needs sv_cheats 1 enabled
	icon.DoClick = function() ply:Give( "weapon_pistol" ) end -- <= error 

when i click on this button game drop a error
and i want to know why he cannot ? dont tell me this function is ServerSide ......
i will cry ...

Thanks for incomming responses :v:

It's Serverside. You can go here [url]https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Player/Give[/url]. If it's blue it's serverside, Orange is clientside. Half and Half is shared.

	local icon = vgui.Create( "ContentIcon", Frame )
	icon:Center()
	icon:SetMaterial( "entities/weapon_pistol.png" )
	icon:SetName( "Pistol" )

function SendToServerSpawnWeapon(weaponName)

		net.Start( "giveweapon", weaponName ) 
		net.SendToServer()

server side code :

util.AddNetworkString( "giveweapon" )

	             ply:give(weap1)
        end

I made some random code that'll do what you want

Server:

util.AddNetworkString( "giveweapon" )

net.Receive("giveweapon", function(len, ply)

	ply:Give("weapon_crowbar")

end)

Client:

function Test()
	local Frame = vgui.Create("DFrame")
	Frame:SetSize(1000,1000)
	Frame:Center()
	Frame:SetTitle("")
	Frame:MakePopup()
	local Test = vgui.Create("DButton", Frame)
	Test:SetSize(100,30)
	Test:SetPos(40, 100)
	Test:SetText("")
	Test.DoClick = function()
	net.Start("giveweapon")
	net.SendToServer()
	end
end

concommand.Add("vagina", Test)

[ERROR] addons/gunmenu/lua/autorun/client/cl_gunmenu.lua:116: Calling net.Start with unpooled message name! [http://goo.gl/qcx0y]
  1. Start - [C]:-1
   2. SendToServerSpawnWeapon - addons/gunmenu/lua/autorun/client/cl_gunmenu.lua:116
    3. DoClick - addons/gunmenu/lua/autorun/client/cl_gunmenu.lua:71
     4. unknown - lua/vgui/dlabel.lua:218

i think we can't do this :

 net.Start( "giveweapon", weaponName ) -- <= weaponName Sucks a lot yolo 

how to send my weapon name to my function ? :)

I think you should look into [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Net_Library_Usage"]this[/URL], it shows you how to use the net library correctly. Also the reason you're getting that error is because you have to add the name of the message to the string table. You do that using [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/util/AddNetworkString]util.AddNetworkString[/url]

[BALIST0N]

function SendToServerSpawnWeapon(weaponName)
		print(weaponName) 
		net.Start( "giveweapon" ) 
		net.SendToServer()
end

util.AddNetworkString( "giveweapon" )
 
net.Receive( "giveweapon", function(ln, pl)

		pl:give("weapon_crowbar")

end)

[ERROR] addons/gunmenu/lua/autorun/server/sv_weaponlist.lua:8: attempt to call method 'give' (a nil value)
  1. func - addons/gunmenu/lua/autorun/server/sv_weaponlist.lua:8
   2. unknown - lua/includes/extensions/net.lua:32

there a progress :cry:

	local Test = vgui.Create("DButton", Frame)
	Test:SetSize(100,30)
	Test:SetPos(40, 100)
	Test:SetText("")
	Test.DoClick = function()
	net.Start("giveweapon")
	net.SendToServer()
	end
end

concommand.Add("menuwep", WeaponMenu)

Server-

util.AddNetworkString( "giveweapon" )

net.Receive( "giveweapon", function(len, ply)
