GUA Error

[B14d3r11]

Okay guys i compiled GUA into my server and it worked but i cannot get the script to work... i keep getting a Error saying:

 scripts\Bind Test.lua:27: attempt to call method 'SetBindPoint' <a nil value>

My script is here:

local npcid = 0
function BindItem_OnGossipTalk(item, event, player, pMisc)
if (player:IsInCombat() == true) then
player:SendAreaTriggerMessage("You are in combat!")
else
    item:GossipCreateMenu(3545, player, 0)
        item:GossipMenuAddItem(3, "Bind Test", 1, 0)
    item:GossipSendMenu(player)
end
end

function BindItem_OnGossipSelect(item, event, player, id, intid, code, pMisc)
if(intid == 10) then
    item:GossipCreateMenu(99, player, 0)
        item:GossipMenuAddItem(3, "Bind Test", 1, 0)
    item:GossipSendMenu(player)
end

if(intid == 1) then
    item:GossipCreateMenu(99, player, 0)
        item:GossipMenuAddItem(2, "Bind", 2, 0)
        item:GossipMenuAddItem(0, "|cFF000080 [Back]", 10, 0)
    item:GossipSendMenu(player)
end

if(intid == 2) then
   item:SetBindPoint( player:GetX(), player:GetY(), player:GetZ(), player:GetMapId(), player:GetZoneId())
   player:GossipComplete()
end

intid = 0
end

RegisterItemGossipEvent(100001, 1, "BindItem_OnGossipTalk")
RegisterItemGossipEvent(100001, 2, "BindItem_OnGossipSelect")

And all i want it to do is, Bind their location to where ever they are.

change item:SetBindPoint()
to player:SetBindPoint()

[B14d3r11]

I tried that before item: still same error

[Gastricpenguin]

The correct syntax should be player:SetBindPoint(x, y, z, map, zone)
Check to make sure there are actual values being put into the function.
You could add Debug messages to show what each value is.

[B14d3r11]

player:GetX(), player:GetY(), player:GetZ(), player:GetMapId(), player:GetZoneId()

That is whats being put into it

[Gastricpenguin]

Try adding debug messages like
printf("The X value is..." + player:GetX())
to make sure that your values are not null.

[B14d3r11]

yea im pretty bad so i dont know how to do that so can you write it.. Im sorry if the burdens you.

[B14d3r11]

I've tried several different ways to implement it but no success... I don't know if you made it possible to have SetBindPoint be used anywhere, cause I can't get it to tell the code where you are before binding the point...

You can always use variables to define calls for each coordinate before you actually use them:

if(intid == 2) then
local PlrX = player:GetX()
local PlrY = player:GetY()
local PlrZ = player:GetZ()
local MapID = player:GetMapID()
local ZoneID = player:GetZoneID()
   player:SetBindPoint(PlrX, PlrY, PlrZ, MapID, ZoneID)
   player:GossipComplete()
end

You can use debug messages like Gastric suggested like this:

local PlrX = player:GetX()
local PlrY = player:GetY()
local PlrZ = player:GetZ()
local MapID = player:GetMapID()
local ZoneID = player:GetZoneID()
printf("The X value is:" + PlrX)
   player:SetBindPoint(PlrX, PlrY, PlrZ, MapID, ZoneID)
   player:GossipComplete()
end

[B14d3r11]

I tried something like that... except it said "Unknown command 'player' " So im going to test these

[B14d3r11]

Now it says trying to send integrated value for printf and normaly it says SetBindPoint <a nil value>

[bigjohnson4]

Try getting a players position and printing it to the screen (like I posted above) with another LuaEngine, and see if it works. It might be a problem with Gastric's engine, but I've never messed with it before.

A last resort could possibly be using database entries, sending a query to a custom table to set the player's coordinates, then using it to set the players bind point, then deleting them afterwards.


...or just use pre-defined coordinates, don't use the player's position.

From what i've discovered... Guaengine atm is a Bust until gastric or Dr. Robotnik or whoever he is now can fix it... if hes willing to.
