Force choke system issue.

Garry's Mod coding
#1

Hello everybody, me again with my force system errors and stuff.
So I’ve worked around trying to make a force choke system(like Darth Vader) and it’s working but I get this error and it’s somewhat annoying me


gamemode/shared.lua:34: attempt to index global 'umsg'
 (a nil value)

Here’s the code of my shared.lua

Any help would be greatly appreciated ^^

#2

Use the net library here:

With examples of how to use it here:

The umsg library is depreciated.

#3

My code just works fine, and the function runs aswell, I only get the error while the player is getting choked(on movetype_noclip).

#4

umsg is only on the server - KeyPress is a shared event that gets run on both the server and the client.

#5

Thanks^ but I think you can still run it on shared using if SERVER. Anyway I solved it and understood what wasn’t working, also, I’m fucking retarded.
