GetFriendStatus struggle

[kingboy111]

Hello,

Recently, I have tried to learn Lua, and I am currently creating a cheat for gmod. I am trying to use GetFriendStatus in order to determine who's my friend, blocked, requested, or in no relationship with me at all.

surface.CreateFont("Casual",{ font = "TabLarge", size = 16, weight = 700, outline = true })

local function MESPCheck(v)
	if v:Alive() == true and v:Health() ~= 0 and v:Health() > 0 and v ~= LocalPlayer() and LocalPlayer():Alive() then
		return true
	else
		return false
	end
end

--[Health & Name ESP]--

CreateClientConVar("esp", 1, true, false)
hook.Add("HUDPaint", "ESP", function()
	for k,v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
		if GetConVarNumber("esp") == 1 then
			if MESPCheck(v) and v:Team() ~= TEAM_SPECTATOR and v:Team() ~= TEAM_UNASSIGNED then
				local Pos = v:GetPos():ToScreen()
				draw.DrawText( "Health: "..v:Health(), "Casual", Pos.x, Pos.y + 18, Color( 255, 255, 255, 255), 1 ); 
				draw.DrawText( v:SteamID(), "Casual", Pos.x, Pos.y + 36, Color( 255, 255, 255, 255), 1 );
				print( v:GetFriendStatus() )
					if v:GetFriendStatus == "none" or v:GetFriendStatus == "requested" then
						draw.DrawText( v:Name(), "Casual", Pos.x, Pos.y, Color( 254, 247, 117, 255 ), 1 );
					end		
			end
		end
	end
end)

What I'm trying to do is print the relationship status of all the current players in the server, to then determine the color of my name esp. However, when I test this out, it says that on line 22,

if v:GetFriendStatus == "none" or v:GetFriendStatus == "requested" then

that the function arguments near '==':

[ERROR] lua/unnamed.lua:22: function arguments expected near '=='
  1. unknown - lua/unnamed.lua:0

What's the reasoning behind this? What am I doing wrong? I know, I know, I am garbage at coding. If there's another, preferably easier way to execute what I am trying to do, please let me know as well.

Thanks.

Never mind, I have gotten this to work.

I forgot to put the parentheses after v:GetFriendStatus (so in this case, v:GetFriendStatus()).
