Ents.Create with sql

[auri45]

I'm trying to be able to save and spawn npcs with mysql, but I'm running into this problem. Here's my code

concommand.Add("spawnsql", function() 
npcclass = sql.Query( "SELECT class from pkmn7 WHERE SteamID = '".. ply:SteamID() .."' " )
npcclass2 = sql.Query( "SELECT lvl from pkmn7 WHERE SteamID = '".. ply:SteamID() .."' " )
PrintTable(npcclass)
PrintTable(npcclass2)
tts = table.ToString( npcclass )

local sqlnpc = ents.Create( tts )
sqlnpc:SetPos( Vector( -223.372253, 89.284607, -12223.968750 ) )
sqlnpc:Spawn() 
end)

it gives me this error

Attempted to create unknown entity type {{class="simple_nextbot",},}!

[ERROR] gamemodes/pokemon/gamemode/init.lua:223: Tried to use a NULL entity!
1. SetPos - [C]:-1
2. unknown - gamemodes/pokemon/gamemode/init.lua:223
3. unknown - lua/includes/modules/concommand.lua:54

I know the problem is there is no entity called class="simple_nextbot", but I'm not sure how to get rid of the class= part. Any help at all would be appreciated!

You didn't define ply in the concommand.Add callback.

It's still giving me the same error

Post the new code?

concommand.Add("spawnsql", function(ply) 
npcclass = sql.Query( "SELECT class from pkmn7 WHERE SteamID = '".. ply:SteamID() .."' " )
npcclass2 = sql.Query( "SELECT lvl from pkmn7 WHERE SteamID = '".. ply:SteamID() .."' " )
PrintTable(npcclass)
PrintTable(npcclass2)
tts = table.ToString( npcclass )

local sqlnpc = ents.Create( tts )
sqlnpc:SetPos( Vector( -223.372253, 89.284607, -12223.968750 ) )
sqlnpc:Spawn() 
end)

Just tested, works fine. Make sure you're now running it from the server console. Also, localise your variables.

I'm still getting this error

How do I make it return just the simple_nexbot part and not the class= part?

I figured it out, I had to do

concommand.Add("spawnsql", function(ply) 
local npcclass = sql.QueryValue( "SELECT class from pkmn7 WHERE SteamID = '".. ply:SteamID() .."' " )
local npcclass2 = sql.Query( "SELECT lvl from pkmn7 WHERE SteamID = '".. ply:SteamID() .."' " )

local sqlnpc = ents.Create( npcclass )
sqlnpc:SetPos( Vector( 64.000000, 576.000000, -12223.080078) )
sqlnpc:Spawn() 

end)
