What does this error mean?

[iViscosity]

Code: Lua

1. local admins = {}
2.  
3.  
4. function ulx.respond( calling_ply, target_ply, message )
5.  
6.  
7.    for k,v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
8.      
9.       if v:CheckGroup( "operator" ) then -- This will add all "operator"s, and higher (anything that inherits, change if you want).
10.          
11.          table.insert( admins, v )
12.  
13.  
14.       end
15.  
16.  
17.    end
18.    ulx.fancyLog( { target_ply, calling_ply, admins }, "Admins to #P: " .. message, target_ply )
19.  
20.  
21. end
22. local respond = ulx.command( "Chat", "ulx respond", ulx.respond, "#", true )
23. respond:addParam{ ULib.cmds.PlayerArg, target="!^", ULib.cmds.ignoreCanTarget }
24. respond:addParam{ ULib.cmds.StringArg, hint="message", ULib.cmds.takeRestOfLine }
25. respond:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_OPERATOR ) -- Make sure if you change the admins in the group, you change this (unless you want operators to see messages, but not send them).
26. respond:help( "Sends a reply to someone from the Admins")
27.  
28.  
29. function ulx.liststaff( calling_ply ) -- I have this in just because I was bored. Use it if you want.
30.  
31.  
32.    for k,v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
33.      
34.       if v:CheckGroup( "operator" ) then
35.          
36.          table.insert( admins, string.upper( "(" .. v:GetUserGroup() .. ") " .. v:Nick() ) )
37.  
38.  
39.       end
40.  
41.  
42.    end
43.    local cadmins = table.concat( admins, ", " )
44.    ulx.fancyLog( { calling_ply }, "Currently connected staff: #s", cadmins )
45.  
46.  
47. end
48. local liststaff = ulx.command( "Utility", "ulx admins", ulx.liststaff, "!admins" )
49. liststaff:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_ALL )
50. liststaff:help( "Displays a list of all connected admins." )
51.  
52.  

this is the script I'm using, pretty self explanatory (and simple), and this is the error I get when using respond:

Code: [Select]

] ulx respond


[ERROR] addons/ulib/lua/ulib/shared/commands.lua:890: attempt to index field 'type' (a nil value)
  1. __fn - addons/ulib/lua/ulib/shared/commands.lua:890
   2. unknown - addons/ulib/lua/ulib/shared/commands.lua:1296
    3. unknown - lua/includes/modules/concommand.lua:54


Now, even if I try just doing "ulx respond " with a space in the console, I get

Code: [Select]



[ERROR] addons/ulib/lua/ulib/shared/commands.lua:985: attempt to index field 'type' (a nil value)
  1. unknown - addons/ulib/lua/ulib/shared/commands.lua:985


Liststaff works properly, I'm just having trouble with respond. What do I need to change?

The big boys are viewing this threads, and have more experience then me, so maybe will be able to find the issue. Though, I recommend you tell everyone what line 890 and 985 are according to your current code.

Though my guess is fancylog or something.

The entire thing there is my script. The errors are happening in a different file due to this, though.

Also, good to see you back.

Note: it may be good to point out I'm on the prerelease version if Garry's Mod, don't know if it's necessary to state that, but I am.

I ended up just using the respond from here, but I'd still like why it wasn't working, as this was making me really angry...


Omg I figured it out...

Code: Lua

1. respond:addParam{ ULib.cmds.PlayerArg, target="!^", ULib.cmds.ignoreCanTarget }
2. respond:addParam{ ULib.cmds.StringArg, hint="message", ULib.cmds.takeRestOfLine }

I forgot type=...

You're missing the key type for your parameter type. It should be blah:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.SomethingArg, ... }.

I was working on the reply as you replied.
Hey, we all make small mistakes, man. Believe me.

I was absolutely baffled a few days ago as to why my timer wasn't working. I was about to wipe the server and do a fresh install when I tried joining and voila it worked. Sometimes you forget the simplest things...
