Lua and lua_pcall problems
Post: #1
I just started trying ot learn Lua to add some scripts into my newest game. Things were going smoothly until I tried to call some Lua functions from my program. Everytime I try to call my Lua function I get a "attempt to call a nil value" which unfortunately isn't telling me much. I'm hoping someone can tell me where I'm going wrong.
Any help you could give me would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Code:
lua_State *L;
void InitLua(void)
{
/*** Starting Lua ******/
L = lua_open(); /* opens Lua */
if(L!=nil)
{
luaopen_base(L); /* opens the basic library */
luaopen_table(L); /* opens the table library */
luaopen_io(L); /* opens the I/O library */
luaopen_string(L); /* opens the string lib. */
luaopen_math(L); /* opens the math lib. */
lua_register(L, "GetSquareValue", GetSquareValue);
lua_dofile(L, "Map.lua");
}
/**********************/
}
void InitLuaMap(void)
{
char errstr[50];
/* push functions and arguments */
lua_getglobal(L, "InitMainMap"); /* function to be called */
lua_pushnumber(L, MAP_HEIGHT); /* push 1st argument */
lua_pushnumber(L, MAP_WIDTH); /* push 2nd argument */
if (lua_pcall(L, 2, 0, 0) !=0)
{
strcpy(errstr,(char *)lua_tostring(L, -1));
Error(errstr);
}
}Any help you could give me would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Try like this:
also check if lua_dofile is giving an error.
Code:
lua_pushstring(L, "InitMainMap");
lua_gettable(L, LUA_GLOBALSINDEX);also check if lua_dofile is giving an error.
Sir, e^iπ + 1 = 0, hence God exists; reply!

What you're doing actually looks okay, so there might be something wrong with Map.lua. You can use lua_isfunction() to make sure that a function is in fact being retrieved from your global, and to get a better idea what's going on you can install a panic function (lua_atpanic) to figure out what line is crapping out if any during runtime.
