[Lua] Reference Creation Failed! (Non Valid Lua-Function?)

[Pawaox-Z]

Hey there!

I have the same problem as "Below post"

http://www.mmowned.com/forums/emulat...eleporter.html

When my server attempts to boot the Lua scripts, i get an error
(At the first "RegisterUnitEvent" ... If i delete that line, it just picks the next -.-)

So the problem has something to do with that

^The exact errors in the "Arcemu-World"

Is there a way to fix it?

Thanks in advance

Please tag your threads in the future properly, also can you show us your lua script?

It seems you're trying to call a function without registering it.

Sorry, long time since i last used those forums - will do
Just began on the emulation again

This is the short script of the two, The other one have hundreds of lines

EDIT:

I'm actually writing those scripts to have fun with some friends, for then to release it on MMOwned. Back the days (TBC, Early Wrath) i never had this issue :/

Figured it out

But then i Began working on my other script, and RIGHT when i'm about to finish it.. Ofcourse i get the same error (Recieved it several times, but this time i don't know how to fix it )

Any new help would be appreciated :'(

[Hellgawd]

Take a look at the key things Harry changed in your above script, compare them with your original script and your new one. It's pretty obvious

[Pawaox-Z]

I tried earlier, and I just tried again. I seriously can't see how it fixes it

I might be seriously stupid, I don't know :S

Could you point out the differences? Then I check it out

EDIT:

"What people often consider as obvious is ONLY because they already know it, and it seems obvious to them & their brain. It doesn't mean that everyone else sees it as obvious"

[stoneharry]

The register must come AFTER the event.
e.g:
Instead of
register unit event
function
end

it must be

function
end
register unit event...

Also X = Unit is defining a variable, but you havn't said what this variable is. It will still work but not as you planned always, to fix this simple add at the top of the script local X = nil or just local X.

Thanks alot for all of your help!
