[Syryniss]

doCreateMonster('Azerus', m_posi[math.random(1,#m_posi)]);

Shouldn't it be

doCreateMonster("Azerus", m_posi[math.random(1,#m_posi)]);

?

It does not matter whether you use " or ' for strings in LUA. ' looks better in my opinion.

@Ray Rewind
I don't see any issue with doCreateMonster, try commenting all lines but one summon line at once and find which causes the error.
Which wave does it happen in? Are the monsters registered in monsters.xml?

 

[Syryniss]

@Summ
My bad then, there was a lot "Azerus" and only one 'Azerus' so I thought it can be reason of error.

#topic
Do what Summ said. It's always the best method to eliminate all the rest and find out what causes the error.

it happends in last wave

 

[Syryniss]

The last wave is missing

replaceazerus = replaceazerus or false;

Maybe it's for some reason, but you can try if this disables error.

 

[Ray Rewind]

I added it and try now
