Attempt to index field '?' when getting a player's [Solved]

So here's the relevant part of the lua.

Hidden/Spoiler:

[code]

	OnTimerElapse(

	    function(timer)

			if (GetNumTeamMembersAlive(2) + GetNumTeamMembersAlive(1)) >= 2 then

				ShowMessageText("level.0TT.begin")

				peopleAlive = ((GetNumTeamMembersAlive(2) + GetNumTeamMembersAlive(1)) -1)

				local traitorNumber = math.random(0, peopleAlive)

				print("traitornumber: ", traitorNumber)

				if GetCharacterUnit(traitorNumber) then

					print("1")

					--local traitor = traitorNumber

					print("1")

					local traitorMatrix = GetEntityMatrix(GetCharacterUnit(traitorNumber))

					print("1")

					if GetCharacterTeam(traitorNumber) == 1 then

						print("5")

						traitorClass = unittablemaster1[traitorNumber + 1].unitclass

						print("7")

					elseif GetCharacterTeam(traitorNumber) == 2 then

						print("6")

						traitorClass = unittablemaster2[traitorNumber + 1].unitclass

						print("8")

					end

					print("class: ", traitorClass)

					local bodyMatrix = CreateMatrix(3.14159,0,-10,0,0,0,1, traitorMatrix)

					SetEntityMatrix(GetCharacterUnit(traitorNumber), bodyMatrix)

					KillObject(GetCharacterUnit(traitorNumber))

					SelectCharacterTeam(traitorNumber, 4)

					SelectCharacterClass(traitorNumber, traitorClass)

					SpawnCharacter(traitorNumber, traitorMatrix)

					ready = 1

				--[[elseif GetTeamMember(2, traitorNumber) then

					print("2")

					local traitor = GetTeamMember(2, traitorNumber)

					print("2")

					local traitorMatrix = GetEntityMatrix(traitor)

					print("2")

					local traitorClass = unittablemaster2[traitor + 1].unitclass

					print("2")

					local bodyMatrix = CreateMatrix(3.14159,0,-10,0,0,0,1,GetEntityMatrix(GetCharacterUnit(traitor)))

					print("2")

					AddUnitClass(4, traitorClass, 1, 1)

					print("2")

					SetEntityMatrix(GetCharacterUnit(traitor), bodyMatrix)

					print("2")

					KillObject(GetCharacterUnit(traitor))

					print("2")

					SelectCharacterTeam(traitor, 4)

					print("2")

					SelectCharacterClass(traitor, traitorClass)

					print("2")

					SpawnCharacter(traitor, traitorMatrix)

					print("2")

					ready = 1--]]

				end

				--	playerInfo[peopleAlive].charTeam

				StartTimer(check)

				StartTimer(win)

				ShowTimer(win)

				SetTeamAsNeutral(1,1)

				SetTeamAsNeutral(2,2)

				DestroyTimer(timer)

				SetReinforcementCount(1, 0)

				SetReinforcementCount(2, 0)

			end

		end,

		grace

		)

[/code]

It all works fine except past the print("6"). For some reason, it can't grab the player's class. The other part, near the print("5"), runs just fine. Here's the error.

Code: Select all


Message Severity: 3

Also, here's the part of the lua that gets the classes, written by Mav.

Hidden/Spoiler:

[code]

function CompileUnitTables()

   unittablemaster1 = {}   

   unittablemaster2 = {}   

   if SetHeroClass then

      holdsetheroclass = SetHeroClass

      SetHeroClass = function(...)

         if arg[1] == 1 then

            table.insert (unittablemaster1, {unitteam = arg[1], unitclass = arg[2]})

         elseif arg[1] == 2 then

            table.insert (unittablemaster2, {unitteam = arg[1], unitclass = arg[2]})            

         end   

      holdsetheroclass(unpack(arg))   

      end

   end

   if AddUnitClass then

      holdaddunitclass = AddUnitClass   

      AddUnitClass = function(...)

         if arg[1] == 1 then

            table.insert (unittablemaster1, {unitteam = arg[1], unitclass = arg[2]})

         elseif arg[1] == 2 then

            table.insert (unittablemaster2, {unitteam = arg[1], unitclass = arg[2]})            

         end

      holdaddunitclass(unpack(arg))   

      end

   end

end

[/code]

It gets the classes for team 1 players fine, but it does not for team 2 players. Any ideas?

What is the highest value peopleAlive can have?
Maybe you run out of classes for team 2?

Noobasaurus · Post by **Noobasaurus** » Mon May 11, 2015 11:44 am

peopleAlive can be (theoretically) infinite. The whole mode is only meant for less than 20 people, though, so it shouldn't ever be too high.

I don't think that I ran out of classes for team 2, however, that does bring up an interesting point. It may have something to do with having 12 classes on one team, but I forgot what the max was. It was either 12 or 10 I think, and if it's 10 then this error might happen. However, I don't think that it would return this error; instead, it would say that the class wasn't on team 4.

There is a max of 10 classes per team, or 9 + 1 hero class.

Ah, thanks! Solved the error.
