Unlogical error occurs

[Rettox]

Hello guys... I have big problem with my em... Mr. Error....

A weird error occurs when checking for player level (comparing player's wanted level with number. But huh. tonumber(wl) doesn't work either, where wl stands for player's level...)

Basically, im going to paste full police code for all servers, so you can use it on your server (after fixing it, of course)

criminals = createTeam ("Criminals", 255, 0, 0 )
citizens = createTeam ("Citizens", 0, 0, 255 )
-- Instruções para eles não atacarem-se entre si (ou não)
setTeamFriendlyFire (getTeamFromName("Citizens"), false )
setTeamFriendlyFire (getTeamFromName("Criminals"), false )

-- função que cria o policial patrulhando a cada 4min

setTimer(function()
	if getPlayerCount() > 0 then
		for i, players in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
			if getPlayerWantedLevel(players) == 6 then
				x, y, z = getElementPosition(players)
				dim = getElementDimension(players)
				addx = math.random(-15,15)
				addy = math.random(-15,15)
           		spawnCops(x+addx,y+addy,z,players)
    		end
    	end
	end
end,30000,0)

function spawnCops(x,y,z,thePlayer)
	local dim = 0
    call(getResourceFromName("slothbot"), "spawnBot") cop1 = exports.slothbot:spawnBot (x, y, z, 90, 265, 0, dim, getTeamFromName("Citizens"), 22)
    call(getResourceFromName("slothbot"), "setBotChase") cp1 = exports.slothbot:setBotChase (cop1, thePlayer)
end

setTimer(function()
if getPlayerCount() > 0 then -- checa se tem alguém jogando
	local players = getElementsByType ( "player" ) -- get a table of all the players in the server
	for theKey,thePlayer in ipairs(players) do
   		local wlevel = getPlayerWantedLevel(thePlayer)
    	wlevel = wlevel - 1
    	setPlayerWantedLevel(thePlayer, tonumber(wlevel))
    end
end
end, 60000,0)

setTimer(function()
local peds = getElementsByType ( "ped" ) -- get a table of all the players in the server
for theKey,thePed in ipairs(peds) do
	call(getResourceFromName("slothbot"), "isPedBot") is = exports.slothbot:isPedBot(thePed)
    if is then
    	killPed(thePed)
    end
end
end, 150000, 0)

also i have no idea why the code is shaped so weirdly in here...

ERROR: [string "?"]:15: attempt to call global 'type' (a number value) - WTF? What does that mean? To which line it applies? Why it appears? WTF???!

I think math.random only accepts number 1 and above.

• math.random() with no arguments generates a real number between 0 and 1.
• math.random(upper) generates integer numbers between 1 and upper.
• math.random(lower, upper) generates integer numbers between lower and upper.

Might be wrong.

ofc you're wrong.

What line is it in the code? It's definitely not on line 15. Might be an error in slothbot? Are you sure you're passing the right arguments?

So basically it says somewhere the var type is being called, and in this code there's not a 'type' variable. So what if you post all the scripts that are joint to this one like the slothbot.

I have solved it. On some line i had a variable that was not a local one, so it was calling it (i don't know why it was even doing it lol) (the global variable).
