Checking Teams / Setting mode / Returning only 1 valuel on GM:PlayerSpawn

[Karnalphuli]

Hi, I've been trying to make my gamemode give weapons/set model on playerspawn using the new Gmod 13 format (using player.lua, instead of customizing teams in init.lua)
I've run into a problem. I'm trying to make my function "ply:GamemodeTeam" be called and a value taken from my "teams" table. I'm really bad at explaining things, so I'll try my best to tell in the code. (I tend to over complicate things as well)
I've tried the (hated and inefficient) "for x, var in pairs(table[argvalue].tablepart) etc.

Anyways; here's the code.

player.lua

local ply = FindMetaTable("Player")


local teams = {}


teams[1] = {name = "Red", color = Vector( 1.0, .2, .2 ), weapons = {"weapon_crowbar", "weapon_smg1"} } //Add weapons here, teams can be viewed in shared.lua
teams[2] = {name = "Blue", color = Vector( .2, .2, 1.0 ), weapons = {"weapon_crowbar", "weapon_ar2"} }
teams[3] = {name = "Waiting", color = Vector( .6, .2, .8 ), weapons = {"weapon_crowbar"} }


function ply:SetGamemodeTeam( n )
    if not teams[n] then return end
    
    self:SetTeam( n )
    
    self:SetPlayerColor( teams[n].color )
    
    self:GiveGamemodeWeapons()
    
    return true
end


function ply:GiveGamemodeWeapons()
    local w = self:Team()
    self:StripWeapons()
    
    for k, wep in pairs(teams[w].weapons) do
        self:Give(wep)
    end
end

//These are 3 different methods I've tried
//Method 1:

//Upper section where teams is:
teams[1] = {name = "Red", color = Vector( 1.0, .2, .2 ), weapons = {"weapon_crowbar", "weapon_smg1"}, Model = {("models/player/arctic.mdl")} }
//Lower area, where the function is

function ply:GamemodeTeam()
    local n = self:Team()
    for m, mdl in pairs(teams[n].Model) do
        self:SetModel(mdl)
    end
end

//^^That one very clearly shouldn't work, in retrospect

//Then there was this one, to check if it was actually getting there

function ply:GamemodeTeam( t )
    local t = self:Team()
    PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK, "Yup")
end

//It would return 3 "yup"s, which I presume means that it is returning all 3 values, which is a problem, as I want it to return 1.

//I'm currently trying this one, not much luck, and I assume I'm doing it very wrong


function ply:GamemodeTeam1( t )
    local t = self:Team()
    PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK, "T1")
end


function ply:GamemodeTeam2( t )
    local t = self:Team()
    PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK, "T2")
end


function ply:GamemodeTeam3( t )
    local t = self:Team()
    PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK, "T3")
end

//This one is still just returning 3 "yup"s

init.lua

AddCSLuaFile("cl_init.lua")
AddCSLuaFile("shared.lua")


include("shared.lua")
include("player.lua")


//Serverside stuff


function GM:PlayerConnect( name, ip )
    print("Player " .. name .. " has joined the game.")
end


function GM:PlayerInitialSpawn( ply )
    print("Player " .. ply:Nick() .. " has spawned.")
    
    ply:SetGravity(.5)
    ply:SetWalkSpeed(350)
    ply:SetRunSpeed(900)
    
    ply:SetGamemodeTeam( 1 )
end




function GM:PlayerAuthed( ply, steamID, uniqueID )
    print("Player " .. ply:Nick() .. " is authed.")
end

//Where I'm trying to actually set the model (twice, for some reason)
//Also, as for the GamemodeTeam1,2, & 3 in player.lua, I know you can manage to call it from just one, so this method isn't working for that reason, and ahh such a mess! 
function GM:PlayerSpawn(ply)  
    if ply:GamemodeTeam() == 1 then
        ply:SetAmmo(1000, "smg1")
        ply:SetModel("models/player/arctic.mdl")
    elseif ply:GamemodeTeam() == 2 then
        ply:SetAmmo(1000, "ar2")
        ply:SetModel("models/player/leet.mdl")
    elseif ply:GamemodeTeam() == 3 then
        ply:SetModel("models/player/alyx.mdl")
    end


//Random Statement


local rand = math.random(1, 2)
    if rand == 1 then
        ply:SetGamemodeTeam(1)
    elseif rand == 2 then
        ply:SetGamemodeTeam(2)
end
RED = team.NumPlayers(1)
BLU = team.NumPlayers(2)


    if RED > BLU then
        ply:SetGamemodeTeam(2)
    elseif BLU > RED then
        ply:SetGamemodeTeam(1)
end
end

It's really messy right now, and I'm just confusing myself. If anyone can help me sort this mess out, I'd really appreciate it :)
