Lua runtime error: attempt to call a strong value
And it doesn't tell you where it is, after you've finished coding 300 lines of lua script.
What I have to do to track down this error is comment out huge swaths of code till the addon loads correctly. Then I half the code I comment out, try to load again, etc, until I find the offending line. And it's usually something really stupid that you didn't notice.
Arcon! Can we get a handle on these kinds of errors? They're driving me batty!
By the way, if this was a post on the official forums I would be banned for including Arcon's name and the word batty in the same paragraph, citing some esoteric TOS rule, and not for mentioning the obvious use of Windower. lol
The Most Annoying Windower LUA Error Ever!
The most annoying Windower LUA error ever!
Are you sure your line number just isn't being cut off because of the size of your game windower? I've never had a compiler not spit out the offending line number (or its best guess), lua included.
Yes, I'm sure. This is a known problem with LUA.
The offending line in this case was:
Note the if statement in line 7 is never closed with an end.
The offending line in this case was:
Code
function get_cure_spell(hp,curedhp) -- hp is current hp -- Cured hp is what you're tryng to reach local cure_spell = "Cure" for _, spell_info in ipairs(cure_matrix) do if (hp+spell_info.cured_amount) >= curedhp then cure_spell = cs end return cure_spell end
Note the if statement in line 7 is never closed with an end.
Ah, syntax errors.
Glorious memories of missing semicolons.
Glorious memories of missing semicolons.
Oh, missing semicolons were easy for me. Now, logic errors... That's what can really drive you up the wall.
