Bad Argument | Need help

[myonlake]

Hello,

I have one error on script that I downloaded from community.multitheftauto.com (link to the resource)

I guess some of you are experienced of scripting and can help me. I don't know how to script so well but I am trying to find out why Beta Carrier -script is saying bad argument error.

WARNING: carrier\Objects\Server\ObjCarrier.lua:32: Bad argument @ 'getResourceConfig'

This resource is f** outdated, i don't think you can get it working that easy.

[myonlake]

Well the problem is only on three lines.

I appriciate any help

[Castillo]

Sounds like 3 lines, but then you fix those and there comes another 3-5 lines.

What does bad argument even mean?

[Castillo]

"Bad argument" means the given arguments are wrong.
