| Hi, I have an issue in my first script (i'm beginner, sorry if this error is basic ^^) I want to write a code that display the current date in the developper console in fs19. Here is (a part of) my code : function MoneyTool:keyEvent(unicode, sym, modifier, isDown) if Input.isKeyPressed(Input.KEY_equals) then currentDate = getCurrentDate() print(currentDate) end; end; When I press the Equals key, an error occurs : Error: Running LUA method 'keyEvent' C:/Users/...: attempt to call global 'getCurrentDate' (a nil value) Do you know where is my error? And also, do you have a link for a tutorial for beginner in scripting (I saw your 7 tutorials about scripting but this explain not every newest things about LUA in fs19) Thanks and Merry Christmas ! |

| nil value means that getCurrentDate is returning nothing.. I have no idea how tro get the date in FS. In typical LUA it's something like os.Date or os.Time.. Also, don't create variables for nothing.. You could just have easily used print(getCurrentDate) and saved time and memory. Not an issue in something small, but all the bad parts add up.. Bear it in mind :) Be efficient and ask is your code optimised. You might want to visit https://github.com/scfmod/fs19_lua Thats chap has done excellent work for us. |

| The error message "attempt to call global 'getCurrentDate' (a nil value)" means "getCurrentDate" is unknown as global variable. It is component of the localization "l18N" (see https://gdn.giants-software.com/documentation_scripting_fs19.php?version=script&category=83&class=7046) and must be called local currentDate = l18N:getCurrentDate() print(currentDate) |
