Help with Basic GLua

Hi there, I'm currently learning to code lua, but I'm slightly stuck on how to get the GM:PropBreak to detect the prop broken.

Here is my code:

local function PropBreak( client, prop )
chat.AddText(client, " just broke the prop ",..prop:GetClass()..)
end

This code works, but it just doesn't get the prop type, which is really annoying, I'd appreciate any help I can get, thanks!

Are you calling this function in the PropBreak hook?

Try removing the two dots before and after prop:GetClass()

Those dots usually mean you're trying to join a string, but since you're separating everything with a comma the dots might be stuffing it up

I actually had the code without any dots before-hand, but it didn't work, so I added them with wishful thinking!

In reply to the first comment, I did originally use hook.Add, but it didn't make any difference because it resulted exactly the same:

Try printing the prop

So, I tried that, but nothing outputted, but then I saw it.. whenever I spawn the prop and break it, a really small brown text appears at the top of the screen that say the model name, and I have no idea why XD

Update: I don't know if my program is broken or my game is, but it's literally whenever I spawn any prop that this happens... so strange..

Well, if nothing outputs when you print the prop, then prop:GetClass() won't work since the prop doesn't exist, and you can't get the class of a nonexistant prop- odd that it doesn't work for you though
