Worst Lua Error, EVER!!!

"Attempt to call a string value" (No line)

This error is the bane of my life. x.x

This was the error...

RTFM

Not helpful, Q. And what are you doing not working?! Go to work woman! lol

And no quippy comebacks about jobs! lol

Maybe you should post your entire LUA file so people can try to assist you, instead of skipping over you.

Posts like this are the bane of ffxiah.com.

Oh, I already solved the error. I was missing a comma in a table and used == for an assignment.

What I am complaining about is that the error is so ambiguous it doesn't even give a line number. It could be anything. This error makes me scared of making big edits. Imagine coding for hours then you load up your program then get "Attempt to call a string value..." It makes you want to pull your hair out!

That is a legitimate Lua error code - the lack of a line number is what gets you. However, any editor or IDE with syntax checking will flag it.

My Ultra Edit doesn't parse lua, unfortunately. :-\
What do you use, Vow?

Vim. :s But there are a lot of others.
