Title: Trying to fix GetInfoNum in my plugin
Post by: pikkip on March 30, 2013, 01:25:34 PM

Hello people!
So here's the deal, I've been trying to fix a few old plugins this day, and I got stuck on this error right now.

Code: [Select]

lua/autorun/server/sv_physgun.lua:20: bad argument #2 to 'GetInfoNum' (number expected, got no value)The 20th line in the lua looks like this:

Code: [Select]

if ply:GetInfoNum( pb_.. "enabled" ) ~= 0 thenand ofc. the pb_ is something else (BEFORE the code above)

Code: [Select]

local pb_ = "physgun_buildmode_"
ANY idea why it calls errors? I don't see any form for additional agument on the line...

That rubber duck (http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2012/03/rubber-duck-problem-solving.html) sure is mystical, no?

Wow. I love that page.

EDIT - I just read the entire page.
And realized...I make an awesome duck, and am proud of that fact.
