Lua Error

[RealRitzcracker]

Im getting a lua error of global timer 'timer' a nil value
what is that.
And when it says the line
like lua:script.lua:10
do you count spaces or not.

a) It means that 'timer' variable was created but not given a value yet.

b) Yes, you count blank lines. Use Crimson Editor or another text editor that shows line numbers.

i use Text editor, all you press is alt-g and type the line with the error and it goes right to it. It also has a nifty find and replace feature.

ConTEXT is also a good text editor

[yaustar]

Text Editor is not freeware and ConTEXT had problems with line wrap last time I used it.

Notepad2 is the lightest weight one that I have used but lacks sytanx highlighting for Lua.

PsPad Editor is my weapon of choice. Syntax highlighting for various languages, diff, spell checking, splitviews on the same file and a ton more features. Free as well.

I think that all you have to do is add () after you declare your "timer"

timer()

at least thats the same error I got when I tried to call

"player"

without the ()

and when it tells you what line its on, thats the line, even if lines 1 - 9 are empty

and personaly, I use microsoft wordpad lol...

Is it possible to make 3d games in lua

[Apoklepz]

To answer your last question, Yes it is possible to make 3D games in Lua...There's samples in the DCemu Lua Downloads page...I advise you check them out.

also, I just got (from Apoklepz) a GMax 2 PSP plugin for GMax, that supposedly allows for 3D models to be used on Lua. I havent tried it yet, but when I do I will make a thread about how to use it (if I can figure it out:P)
