Help using lube

[silver_hawk]

when my client connects to my server using lube, the callback function that is called on connection, can't access the servers self.*variable_name* variables, how is the function called and why can't they access the instances local variable through self. ?

It seems you're referencing an object from outside the object. The call back function isn't in your object, you'll have to reference it from outside.
Heres and example:

WRONG:

Code: Select all

obj={}
o=obj
function callback(ip,port)
    self.ip=ip
    self.port=port
end

You're not in the scope of the obj, but rather the callback function, which itself isn't part of the obj's scope either.

RIGHT

Code: Select all

obj={}
o=obj
function callback(ip,port)
   o.ip=ip
   o.port=port
end

You're still not in the scope of the object, however you're referencing variables in the scope of the object from outside of the object. You can also do this:

Code: Select all

obj={}
function callback(ip,port)
   obj.ip=ip
   obj.port=port
end

If you don't want to create an instance/s of the object.

If you don't want to create an instance/s of the object.

There are no objects and no instances created, in any of your examples.
