Gamemode Lua Error.

[BolONYz]

Hey guys this is my first time posting soo....

Anyways, I was testing my gamemode and when I tested it online my friend keep getting this message

[QUOTE]attempt to call method 'GetPrintName' (a nil value)[/QUOTE]

So i'm guessing this code is creating the error.

[QUOTE]local weapon = LocalPlayer():GetActiveWeapon():GetPrintName()[/QUOTE]

I'm new and this is my first time coding, so i'm probably doing something wrong.

Make sure it's in if CLIENT tags, it is a client-only method

Usage example would be this.

I believe if someone is dead then they won't have an active weapon, so you can't get the name from it.
Check if they are alive (or if they actually have a weapon).
Something like

local weapon = LocalPlayer():Alive() and LocalPlayer():GetActiveWeapon() and LocalPlayer:GetActiveWeapon():GetPrintName() or "No weapon"

The alive check isn't really needed if you are also checking if the weapon is valid, it could just be

local weapon = LocalPlayer():GetActiveWeapon() and LocalPlayer:GetActiveWeapon():GetPrintName() or "No weapon"

You forgot brackets

local weapon = LocalPlayer():Alive() and LocalPlayer():GetActiveWeapon() and LocalPlayer():GetActiveWeapon():GetPrintName() or "No weapon"

Thanks, fixed it with this code

	
if LocalPlayer():GetActiveWeapon():IsWeapon() then
draw.SimpleText(LocalPlayer():GetActiveWeapon():GetPrintName(), "Trebuchet24", 12, ScrH() - 95, Color(255,255,255,255))
else
draw.SimpleText("No Weapon", "Trebuchet24", 12, ScrH() - 95, Color(255,255,255,255))		
end
