• [ERROR] Attempt to call global (a nil value)

Hi, I'm trying to make a STool for a custom entity. The custom entity is currently very simple as I'm trying to get the STool to work first. The custom entity does get spawned in using the STool, however this error keeps popping up once it's spawned : [ERROR] addons/capture_point/lua/weapons/gmod_tool/stools/cp.lua:12: attempt to call global 'MakeCP' (a nil value)   1. LeftClick - addons/capture_point/lua/weapons/gmod_tool/stools/cp.lua:12    2. unknown - gamemodes/sandbox/entities/weapons/gmod_tool/shared.lua:227 Here is the STool code so far: TOOL.Category = "Construction" TOOL.Name = "#tool.cp.name"  function TOOL:LeftClick( trace )  if ( trace.Entity && trace.Entity:IsPlayer() ) then return false end local ply = self:GetOwner() local Ang = trace.HitNormal:Angle() Ang.pitch = Ang.pitch + 90 local cpoint = MakeCP(ply, Ang, trace.HitPos) end if ( SERVER ) then  function MakeCP(pl, ang, pos) local cpoint = ents.Create("cpentity") if ( !IsValid( cpoint ) ) then return end cpoint:SetAngles(ang) cpoint:SetPos(pos) cpoint:Spawn() return cpoint end end if ( CLIENT ) then language.Add( "tool.cp.name", "Capture Point" ) language.Add( "tool.cp.desc", "Creates Capture Points.") language.Add( "tool.cp.text", "Location") end function TOOL.BuildCPanel( CPanel ) CPanel:AddControl( "Header", { Description = "#tool.cp.desc" } ) CPanel:AddControl( "TextBox", { Label = "#tool.cp.text", Command = "button_description", MaxLenth = "20" } ) end It probably is a very simple error but a friend and I couldn't fix it. Send help!
TOOL:LeftClick is called in Server and Client, you are making MakeCP only available for SERVER, so wrap the MakeCP call with "if SERVER then"
It worked, thanks!
