Building zones from a table

[AGENT_STEELMEAT]

Hey all, I have a simple function that will create a colShape and a radarArea from some definitions in a table. I've tried the code below, but get the following error:

  
[22:44:34] WARNING: Bad argument @ 'createColPolygon' (string-defined function) 
[22:44:34] WARNING: Bad argument @ 'createRadarArea' (string-defined function) 
[22:44:34] WARNING: Bad argument @ 'addEventHandler' (string-defined function) 
[22:44:34] WARNING: Bad argument @ 'addEventHandler' (string-defined function) 
  

  
--{x, y, width, height, red, green, blue, alpha} 
local zones = { 
    {1684, -2008, 200, 200, 0, 255, 0, 0}, 
    {0, 0, 200, 200, 0, 255, 0, 0}} 
function buildSafeZones() 
    for theKey, theZone in ipairs(zones) do 
        local x = tonumber(zones[1]) 
        local y = tonumber(zones[2]) 
        local width = tonumber(zones[3]) 
        local height = tonumber(zones[4]) 
        local red = tonumber(zones[5]) 
        local green = tonumber(zones[6]) 
        local blue = tonumber(zones[7]) 
        local alpha = tonumber(zones[8]) 
        createColRectangle ( X, Y, Width, Height ) 
        createRadarArea (X, Y, Width, Height, R, G, B, A) 
    end 
end 
  

tysm once again.

I think, they are strings not numbers.

Umm, there aren't really any strings there, and I added the tonumber() operator to try and fix the problem.

You are using invalid arguments...

--{x, y, width, height, red, green, blue, alpha} 
local zones = { 
    {1684, -2008, 200, 200, 0, 255, 0, 0}, 
    {0, 0, 200, 200, 0, 255, 0, 0} 
    } 
     
function buildSafeZones() 
    for theKey, theZone in ipairs(zones) do 
        local x = tostring(zones[1]) 
        local y = tostring(zones[2]) 
        local width = tostring(zones[3]) 
        local height = tostring(zones[4]) 
        local red = tostring(zones[5]) 
        local green = tostring(zones[6]) 
        local blue = tostring(zones[7]) 
        local alpha = tostring(zones[8]) 
        createColRectangle ( x, y, width, height ) 
        createRadarArea (x, y, width, height, red, green, blue, alpha) 
    end 
end 

X, Y doesn't exist, same with R, G, B, A

they are red, green, blue, alpha and x,yz

Fail. I blame sleep deprivation.

EDIT

It's reading the table, but not creating the zones. I think I need to change stuff related to event handlers and such, but I'm not sure how. Anyone want to help me out on this? I'm confused >.<
