Title: our modified trivia bot doesnt work properly
Post by: jsjen on 18 April, 2004, 13:07:04
I hope someone can help, sorry I post so much. We are learners trying hard to learn

I get these errors:
Syntax Error: attempt to compare nil with number
Syntax Error: bad argument #1 to `strlen' (string expected, got nil)

they dont seem to be fatal though.

Also she doesnt work in her own window, people cant answer questions.

This is a link to the script  V

http://jsjen.customer.netspace.net.au/trivia.lua (http://jsjen.customer.netspace.net.au/trivia.lua)

If I need to post this bot another way please tell me

first off all you arent requesting for a script but for help with a script so you had to post in that section originally.:-))

second if we cant look at the script we cant see what is wrong with it.


Code Select

seems to me a wrong setting in the cfg. file of the script

perhas one of the mods can replace this topic to the place where it belongs.

-- Default startup mode of Trivia!
lngDefMode = 1 -- (0 = game is played in chat!, 1 = game is played in chat but questions only show for players, 2 = game is played in pm with players)


the basic idear is that players have to join the game to have the possibillity to answer the questions.

if you set this :
lngDefMode = 1
 to
lngDefMode = 0

the game will be shown in main chat

the setting one means that only foks who entered the game can see the questions and also answer them.

I understand how the script works, it just stopped working oneday..

I think robocop7 has something to do with it im having quite a bit of trouble with scripts and regging users. We are starting from scratch add in a new script every hour.

Thanks for your help, I would still like someone to have a look at the script oneday if you can.

Thanks Jase
