[Lua] More help needed

[Lemonilla]

So it's giving me

Code: [Select]

C:\Program Files (x86)\Lua\5.1\lua.exe: T:\space\Game\bin\f.lua:19: attempt to p
erform arithmetic on a nil value
stack traceback:
        T:\space\Game\bin\f.lua:19: in function 'theta'
        T:\space\Game\bin\f.lua:38: in main chunk
        [C]: ?
when it has clearly become a number multiple times.  Any help would be grand.



f.lua 1 300 -300 300 0 0 0 130

you to a new table and then access elements of that table. All elements of that table will be nil.

Fixed it, It had to do with inputting things that couldn't be changed to numbers.
