<description>
Marks a Lua file to be sent to clients when they join the server. Doesn't do anything on the client - this means you can use it in a shared file without problems.
<warning>If the file trying to be added is empty, an error will occur, and the file will not be sent to the client.</warning>

<note>This function is not needed for scripts located in **lua/autorun/** and **lua/autorun/client/**: they are automatically sent to clients.</note>⤶

<args>
<arg name="file" type="string" default="current file">The name/path to the Lua file that should be sent, relative to the garrysmod/lua folder. If no parameter is specified, it sends the current file.
The file path can be relative to the script it is ran from. For example, if your script is in lua/myfolder/stuff.lua, calling <page>Global.AddCSLuaFile</page>("otherstuff.lua") and <page>Global.AddCSLuaFile</page>("myfolder/otherstuff.lua") is the same thing.</arg>
