[string "?"]:34: attempt to call global 'type'(a number value)

[Pirulax]

Okey, i  have made this small function:

 

addEvent("onClientWantToExecuteCommandHandler",true)
addEventHandler("onClientWantToExecuteCommandHandler",resourceRoot,function(playername, item,value,count,source)
    if (getElementData(source,"acc:admin") or 0 >= 6) then
        local sourcePlayer = source
        local rovid = "#398FB1[GreenStone - Inventory] #ffffff"
        if id and item and value and count and source then
            local targetPlayer, targetPlayerName = exports.mta_main:findPlayer(sourcePlayer, playername)                
            if targetPlayer then
                if giveItem(targetPlayer, tonumber(item), tostring(value), tonumber(count), 0) then -- 0 -> dutyitem        
                    if not (source==targetPlayer) then
                        outputChatBox(rovid.. " Adott egy itemet neked: #43cd80".. getElementData(playerSource,"char:anick") .."#ffffff (" ..exports["mta_item2"]:getItemName(tonumber(item))..")", targetPlayer,255,255,255,true)    
                    end                                
                    outputChatBox(rovid.. " Adtál egy itemet neki: #43cd80".. targetPlayerName:gsub("_", " ") .."#ffffff (" ..exports["mta_item2"]:getItemName(tonumber(item))..")", source,255,255,255,true)                
                    dbExec(con, adminlog, getElementData(playerSource, "char:anick"), getElementData(playerSource, "acc:id"), "GIVEITEM", getElementData(playerSource, "char:anick") .. " adott " .. count .. " db " .. exports["mta_item2"]:getItemName(tonumber(item)) .. " -t. Érték: " .. value .. "", getPlayerName(targetPlayer), getElementData(targetPlayer, "acc:id"))
                    exports.mta_admin:outputAdminMessage("#43cd80" .. getElementData(playerSource, "char:anick") .. "#ffffff adott " .. count .. " darab " .. exports["mta_item2"]:getItemName(tonumber(item)) .. " -t #43cd80" .. targetPlayerName .. "#ffffff játékosnak.")            
                else
                    outputChatBox("#43cd80[" .. serverName .. " #43cd80- Inventory]: #ffffffNem fér el több tárgy az adott játékosnál!", playerSource, 255 ,255, 255, true)
                end        
            end
        end
    end
end)

Its throwing the error on the line 7, but i dont know why...

Are you sure that it's throwing the error at line no. 7? Whats the error?

@NeXuS™

 

 

[string "?"]:34: attempt to call global 'type'(a number value)

as it stays in the title.Im not totally sure, because that "34" is not the actual line where the error is, in the original script its a blank line.

 

[NeXuS™]

Are you sure you have opened the right file?

[Pirulax]

but if i comment out the 7. line it doesnt throw any error.

local targetPlayer, targetPlayerName = exports.mta_main:findPlayer(sourcePlayer, playername)     

 

Yeah, im sure.

 

@NeXuS™

Go to your mta_main and search for the findPlayer function.

[Pirulax]

It should work just perfectly, because with other commands it work.

but, i'll take a look at the function

Same. @NeXuS™

[NeXuS™]

I'm pretty sure you are doing something wrong, because the error is referring to a variable called "type", and you don't have that variable used in the script above.

The error is, in fact, referring to an attempt to use type as a function (which is, in fact, a function by default) but it seems it's been overridden with a number value. In other words, some part of the code is trying to call type() but type is a number, not a function.

Try looking through the code to find something like

type = ...
-- or
local type = ...

and change the variable name, don't use type as a variable name as it's already a function. Of course, changing a variable name also means you'll need to change it everywhere else in the code where you referenced it.

Solved the problem, placed the event into another res., isnt the best solution at all, but works
