Hello, doesn't have a NPC like npc_barney GetMaxHealth()?

I get error in console GetMaxHealth a nil value if I try to make npc:GetMaxHealth()

surface.DrawTexturedRect( drawPos.x, drawPos.y + Rect.h, Rect.w * (ent:Health() / ent:GetMaxHealth()) , 5 )

[gamemodes/texas/gamemode/cl_init.lua:114] attempt to call method 'GetMaxHealth' (a nil value)(Hook: HUDPaint)

	1. lua/includes/modules/hook.lua:111 (unknown)

It appears that function is Serverside only.

It appears that function is Serverside only now?

It's always been Serverside.

I know, sorry I'm not in my head atm. I just corrected it just before I saw your post.

That agree would be a yes :P

Edit:
Or usermessages but i'm not sure which one would be faster.

Edited:

If you need help on a script:
Edit: Changed font

if CLIENT then
	function DrawHPInfo()
         	local ply = LocalPlayer()
		local tr = ply:GetEyeTrace()
		if tr.HitWorld or not tr.Hit then return end
		local NPCHP = LocalPlayer():GetNWInt("NPCHealth")
		local NPCMaxHP = LocalPlayer():GetNWInt("NPCMaxHealth")
		local NPCPos = tr.Entity:GetPos()
		local NPCMaxs = tr.Entity:OBBMaxs()
		NPCPos.z = NPCPos.z + NPCMaxs.z + 2.5
		local NPCPosToScr = NPCPos:ToScreen()
		local TxtLen = surface.GetTextSize(NPCHP.."/"..NPCMaxHP)
		draw.SimpleTextOutlined(NPCHP.."/"..NPCMaxHP, "Trebuchet22", NPCPosToScr.x + (TxtLen/2), NPCPosToScr.y, Color(0,0,0,255), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER, TEXT_ALIGN_BOTTOM, 1, Color(255,255,255,150))
	end
	hook.Add("HUDPaint", "DrawMaxHP", DrawHPInfo)
else
	AddCSLuaFile("healthmod.lua")
	function SendHPInfo()
		for k,v in ipairs(player.GetAll()) do
			local tr = v:GetEyeTrace()
			if tr.HitWorld or not tr.Hit then return end
			if tr.Entity:IsNPC() then
				v:SetNWInt("NPCHealth", tr.Entity:Health())
				v:SetNWInt("NPCMaxHealth", tr.Entity:GetMaxHealth())
			end
		end
	end
	hook.Add("Think", "FindMaxHP", SendHPInfo)
end

You'd be better off defining a table clientside with all the maximum healths of the given NPC's and then define a GetMaxHealth function clientside on the entity metatable.

e.g

EntityMaxHealth =
{
    "default" = 100,
    "npc_zombie" = 100,
    "npc_watever" = 275
}

function _R.Entity:GetMaxHealth()

    local class = self:GetClass()
    if EntityMaxHealth[class] then return EntityMaxHealth[class] end

    return EntityMaxHealth["default"]

end
