Using middleclass

[Ertain]

Thank you, guys. I shall edit my little script accordingly.
*Looks through script*
The stuff you guys have told me seem to be found in the code (i.e. no editing). Here's the error.

Code: Select all

boot    [string "menus.lua"]:32: attempt to index local 'self' (a nil value)    stack traceback:
        [string "boot.lua"]:833: in function 'error_printer'
        [string "boot.lua"]:768: in function <[string "boot.lua"]:766>
        [string "menus.lua"]:32: in function 'showMenus'
        [string "menus.lua"]:26: in function 'initialize'
        [string "middleclass.lua"]:37: in function 'new'
        [string "main.lua"]:9: in function 'update'
        [string "boot.lua"]:307: in function <[string "boot.lua"]:295>
        [C]: in function 'xpcall'
        [string "boot.lua"]:840: in main chunk

This is from the code seen in this thread. All of the syntax and whatnot seem to be correct.

The error is on menus.lua, line 32. Can you put that line here?

[Ertain]

Sure, here's the line:

Code: Select all

for i=1, #self.menu do

[kikito]

I believe that the problem is not on that function's declaration, but on it's invocation.

It's probably this:

Code: Select all

function Game:initialize()
  super.initialize(self)
  self.menu = {}
  self.index = 1
  self.topMenu = "top"
  self.showMenus()
  self.drawMenus()
end

The last two lines are method invocations and should have colons instead of dots:

Code: Select all

  self:showMenus()
  self:drawMenus()

And this is exactly why I don't like the colons in the first place. You will make that mistake again and again.

Sweet. Thanks kikito!
*Tries new changes*
Works... For now.
