Cant create new Variant

[miens]

Hello,
as I was toying with spells and lua I encountered a problem. Everytime I am trying to create a new Variant, Tile or Position I get error saying that global 'Variant' is a nil value. What might be the reason for this?

I found my way around it using positionToVariant().

@miens could you show the code with positionToVariant ? I am trying to do the same think but every time when i invoke combat with positionToVariant i crash server :/

function doMultistrike(playerId, item, targetPosition)
    -- DebugPrint("Multistrike! 22")
    local itemType = ItemType(item:getId())
    if itemType:getWeaponType() == WEAPON_SWORD or itemType:getWeaponType() == WEAPON_CLUB or itemType:getWeaponType() == WEAPON_AXE then
        local creature = Tile(targetPosition):getTopCreature()
        if creature then
            whiteWeaponCombat:execute(Player(playerId), Variant(creature:getId()))
        end
        return true
    end
    return false
end

That function product stackoverflow, what i am doing wrong ?
