LunaLUA: Player:mem error

[Sambo]

When I try to use the Player:mem function, it just returns an error: "No static 'mem' in class 'Player'"
Here's the code that caused the error:

Code: Select all

printText(Player:mem(0x158, FIELD_WORD).. "", 384, 30)

It is supposed to show the value of the player memory for the reserve powerup. It might seem pointless, but it's just for testing purposes.

just a small fix: the instance of the Player class is called "player" (with lower letters)... also you might need to convert the value to a string... so the corrected code should be:

Code: Select all

printText(tostring(player:mem(0x158, FIELD_WORD)).. "", 384, 30)

I did other codes without the tostring function, and it works because the .. "" at the end converts the value to a string. You can test this code in the lua.exe to see it works:

Code: Select all

> print(10 .. "") == "10"

If the class "player" is all lowercase, you may want to fix that in the wiki, as it's capitalized there.

If the class "player" is all lowercase, you may want to fix that in the wiki, as it's capitalized there.

The player class IS right. The class is called "Player" with the constructor "Player(int playerID)" BUT there are two pre-defined player object called "player" and "player2" See here: http://wohlsoft.ru/pgewiki/LunaLua_constants.

I also did write in constructor description the following note:

You might want to use the constants player and player2 (for the 2nd player) instead.

Oh, ok. Well, thanks for the help. My problem has been fixed, so you can lock this now.
