attempt to index global 'InputTimer2' (a nil value)

[onedaysnotice]

Once again, inputTimer has given me grief. I've tried to look for the problem for two hours now, and I still can't find what it is :S. (I literally just c/p'ed the same code for player2 from player1, only change the variables). The problem only occurs when I press a or d, so its isolated in the left and right movement of player 2

Sorry for the extremely messy code.

Code: Select all

Hi again. (Try to keep all your demands in 1 same topic if possible, especially if it's for a similar issue)

Your problem here is that your variable is called "inputTimer" and you're trying to do stuff with "InputTimer" sometimes (I'll let you find out where, shouldn't be hard).
Be careful cause it's case sensitive.

[onedaysnotice]

hi again indeed Okay I'll keep that in mind next time

omfg... thanks for solving the mystery LOL. that was a real face palm moment for me xD I'll be more cautious next time when using find and replace
