[ERROR] lua/loadmap.lua:12: attempt to call global 'LocalPlayer' (a nil value)

1. unknown - lua/loadmap.lua:12

[vital wadi]

May I ask how did you run your code?

[grim rose]

lua_openscript Test1.lua

in console

[vital wadi]

Try this
lua_openscript_cl Test1.lua

[grim rose]

why client

[vital wadi]

LocalPlayer() is an clientsided function

[grim rose]

oh

[vital wadi]

You can't use it on serverside

[grim rose]

thanks now i know localplayer is a client sided

im kind of new to scripting im trying to start now to know some gmod coding

That's good, good luck for you
