I am getting really far with my entities, they are nearly done actually.
I have it so when the crosshair contacts the entity, it displays a text bubble next to a random number.
In game it would be like
[i]Number 36[/i]
My Code
VVVVV
[lua]AddWorldTip( self.Entity:EntIndex(), ( "Number" .. number .. "" ), 5, self.Entity:GetPos(), self.Entity )[/lua]
But what would I do if I wanted it to show the player who created the entity's name?
So it would appear like [i]Number 36 By ErrolLiamP[/i]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If I created the Entity,
and my friend created another of the same Entity,
I am hoping that the names displayed on the little text bubbles wouldn't interfear with eachother.:pwn:
I have been looking at this

Any help is appreciated.
[CODE]AddWorldTip( self.Entity:EntIndex(), ( "Number" .. number .. " by ".. ownerentity:Nick() ), 5, self.Entity:GetPos(), self.Entity )[/CODE]

Thanks for that fast reply, but I'm getting this lua error.
attempt to call method 'Nick' (a nil value)
I have had problems spawning things through the console before, think thats the reason?
the ownerentity variable must be replaced with a function/variable that returns the owner, like self.Owner, or self:GetOwner().

I know, I had it set to self.Entity, then tried self.Owner, still the same problem.
I am spawning these through the console though, I don't think that should change anything, but I could be wrong. Anyway, it still spams that error. Other ideas? :dance:
hook PlayerSpawnedEntity or whatever it is and if the entity has the classname of the custom ent, save the players entity somewhere and you figure out the rest
