Hello, I noticed that I cannot use global variable.

For example:
in action I have a script with CHEST = 1740.

I wanna use it in globalevent but it gets an error. When I move it in to the original script it works.

TFS 0.3.6

Before probably it worked.

If you wish for it to be a global variable put it into data/lib/000-constant.lua
LUA: 
CHEST = 1740

oh yeah it works, but can you answer on my 2 questions:

1. in this thread global variables are used not in this way you told
otland.net

Action - [TFS 1.X] Cursed Chests

Cursed Chests Cursed Chests are a new treasure type chests that are spawned randomly on the map. They can't be just opened like any other, first, player will have to defend against waves of powerful monsters. After surviving and killing every spawned monster, chest will open with rewards inside...
otland.net otland.net

2. Can you tell me why this does not work:
LUA: 
local chest = doCreateItem(CHEST, 1, {x=1000, y=1000, z=7})
                    doItemSetAttribute(chest.uid, "actionid", 19000)

gives the error:
"attempt to index local 'chest' (a number value)"

it's stupid but I can't

This is for TFS 1.X and not 0.X. Upgrade your stuff already...

(1) 1.x+ 's lua system is more open.
in 0.3.6 actions/creaturescripts/globalevents - et cetera are closed and can only see stuff inside that folder. (with the exception of stuff inside lib)

2) If you've set your global variable as Chest / CHEST, and then modify that variable to hold new data, such as in this example, it will no longer be the same data.. because you've now assigned it something else.

If you intend in using it this way, I'd suggested modifying the global variable to be
ITEM_CHEST = 1740

This way it's more clear, and you won't accidentally re-write it with a local variable.

There's no reason to bully him into upgrading.

thanks all of you, but I intend upgrade my stuff to 1.X coz I have my own sources with a lot of changes.

@Xikini the global variable is not related to that issue. I cannot set actionid when the chest is creating.
It's something strange, coz in others scripts there is similarly and works

Oh.
remove .uid on the line that's setting the aid.
chest.uid -> chest
