Spawning an lua entity in a gamemode

Garry's Mod coding
#1

I’m trying to spawn a custom entity that is contained within the lua/entities folder. I have a spawnmenu with icons and whenever I click it, nothing spawns. I don’t even get any errors.


include('shared.lua')

function MainMenu( )

	 equipment = {}
 
     equipment[1] = "models/props_c17/signpole001.mdl"
	 equipment[2] = "lua/entities/fishing_rod/cl_init.lua"
 
    local frame = vgui.Create("DFrame")
	local IconList = vgui.Create( "DPanelList", frame ) 
 
	frame:Center()
	frame:SetSize(220,200)
	frame:SetTitle("Tacklebox")
	frame:MakePopup()
 
 	IconList:EnableVerticalScrollbar( true ) 
 	IconList:EnableHorizontal( true ) 
 	IconList:SetPadding( 4 ) 
	IconList:SetPos(10,30)
	IconList:SetSize(200, 160)
 
	for k,v in pairs(equipment) do
	local icon = vgui.Create( "SpawnIcon", IconList ) 
	icon:SetModel( v )
 	IconList:AddItem( icon )
	icon.DoClick = function( icon ) surface.PlaySound( "ui/buttonclickrelease.wav" ) RunConsoleCommand("gm_spawn", v) end 
	end 	
end

This is in Garry’s Mod 13 by the way.

The first one should technically work considering it’s just a prop, the second one will not work as you cannot run “gm_spawn” on a cl lua file. For entities like that, you need to have a method of spawning them serverside, then trigger it clientside with a concommand or the like.
