JSON problem

[WolfPire]

Hi there, guys!

I'm now creating a personal garage where the players will be able to save their vehicles, with upgrades, paintjobs, health, etc...

But i'm having problems with the "fromJSON" function which delivers me a "nil" value when i use it.

Here's some part of the code... Thanks for the help in advance!

Client

  
  
-- This will load the vehicles that are sent from server, here's the problem 
--| 
--| 
--| 
--v 
  
addEvent("addToGrid", true) 
addEventHandler("addToGrid", root, 
function(vehs) 
    outputDebugString(vehs) 
    removeEventHandler("onClientGUIDoubleClick", GarageGL, onDClick, false) 
    destroyElement(GarageGL) 
    GarageGL = false 
    GarageGL = guiCreateGridList(10, 45, 290, 140, false, GarageW) 
    local GarageC = guiGridListAddColumn( GarageGL, "Vehicle Name", 0.45 ) 
    local GarageCTwo = guiGridListAddColumn( GarageGL, "Model", 0.35 ) 
    vehsta = fromJSON(vehs) 
    for name, array in pairs(vehsta) do 
        if not (name == "1") then 
        local row = guiGridListAddRow ( GarageGL ) 
        guiGridListSetItemText ( GarageGL, row, GarageC, name, false, false ) 
        guiGridListSetItemText ( GarageGL, row, GarageCTwo, array[2].." ("..getVehicleNameFromModel(array[2])..")", false, false ) 
        end 
    end 
    addEventHandler("onClientGUIDoubleClick", GarageGL, onDClick, false) 
end 
)

ERRORS

- White: "outputDebugString("Passed send", 0)", not a]n error.

- Green: "vehs" without using fromJSON (string obviously)

- Red: "vehs" after using fromJSON ("nil" value? .___.)

Account data has a limit, so if your JSON string is too long, it'll cut part of it, which will break it and won't be recognized as a JSON string by fromJSON.

My strings will be longer and longer, more sub-tables will be added on each vehicle add. Is there any way to by-pass this or make a way through it?? >w<

EDIT: Please tell me i wont have to fragment it ._. *braces for impact* Actually not the case... It will keep getting bigger and bigger... Geez... This might get real big actually.

EDIT 3: AAAAAND... Doesn't work.
