Basic LUA problems
I'm using ComputerCraft, a Minecraft mod that adds computers, monitors, modems and so on, which can be programmed using Lua scripts.
http://www.computercraft.info/wiki/Main_Page
While running my script I get this error: "bios:171: bad argument: string expected, got nil".
I dont understand because it says line 171 even though my code doesn't exceed 30 lines.. Can somebody explain?
monitor = peripheral.wrap("right")
monitor.clear()
monitor.setCursorPos(1, 1)
monitor.setTextScale(1)
monitor.write("Current mode:")
monitor.setCursorPos(1, 3)
monitor.write("furnace")
redstone.setOutput("back", false)
print("blablabla")
write()
if input == ja then
print("k")
redstone.setOutput("back", true)
monitor.clear()
monitor.setCursorPos(1, 1)
monitor.write("blabla")
else
print("u sux")
end
help would be highly appreciated.
You invoked an error in bios.lua which implements functions you can use in your script. Like write .
If we take a look into bios.lua we see that line 171 is actually part of the implementation of write .
It says: while string.len(sText) > 0 do , where sText
is the input argument to function write( sText ) in line 154.
There is no proper error handling or default value for the case that sText is nil . The programmer did a sloppy job here.
In that case string.len(sText) in line 171 will causes the error you received.
In order to fix that you have to either remove the empty call to write , which is equivalent to write(nil) or you have to provide some input string.
write("something") will not cause any error. If you want to print an empty string just call write("") .
