Lua Lua Environment on TFS

[Stellow]

I have created a script, in which the functions are located in /lib and the others scripts /actions for example interact with them,

Keep in mind that I have done the exactly same thing on the past.

The script worked perfectly on my pc, but when I sent to a linux machine, for some reason the /action cannot locate the config table on /lib, but the talkaction can.

Script files:

/lib/arena_config

Arena = {
            [1] =     {                    
                        ENTRANCE_FEE = {-1000, -2000, -3000},
                        MAXTIME_WAVE = {60, 60, 60},
                        LEVEL_REQUIREMENT = {100, 150, 200},
[...]

/lib/arena_entrance

function isArenaPlayerOverRequirement(cid, level, difficult)
    local playerLevel = getPlayerLevel(cid)
    local arena = Arena[level]
    local levelRequirement = arena.LEVEL_REQUIREMENT[difficult]
    if playerLevel >= levelRequirement then
[...]

/action/arenajoin

local function joinArenaWaitList(cid)
    if not isArenaActive(ArenaLevel) then
        if isArenaPlayerOverRequirement(cid, ArenaLevel, ArenaDifficult) then
            [...]

Error:

Obs:
All parameters has been checked before and after entering the function. It seems like it cannot locate the table, even if I use the table on the same file.

Suggestions?

print these values
ArenaLevel, ArenaDifficult

Maybe you aren't sending the correct values, its always best to check if the value exist before using it.

I have checked the values before entering the function, and after entering the function. In fact, I even tried to call the function with number (cid,1,1). I called from actions, and from talkactions. Actions gives me this error, and talkaction works fine. Isn't this weird?

It shouldn't be happening this, tested here and it works (the environments are still separated so values assigned in one environment wont be available in the other but the values in the lib are properly loaded in every environment.)

You can add this to data/actions/lib/actions.lua it will force loading them:

dofile('data/lib/arena_config.lua')
dofile('data/lib/arena_entrance.lua')

I thought about that too but I wanted to give em the benefit of doubt

The script still working on the windows, but on the other machine it isn't. Any other suggestion?

Even if you aren't exactly sure what the problem is, try using a search engine to determine the problem, chances are high someone else has had the same or similar issue(s) as well.

I went into google and typed "linux server can't see global variables lua" and chose the 1st link that came up due to stackoverflowing.com being a well known q & a site for technical issues

If the solution provided doesn't work, you try something else, this what is known as "process of elimination", eventually after several steps/test you find your solution.

Even if you know this already, this explanation is meant for those who don't

Most likely the environment of actions is bugged, I bet it won't load anything you put in libs.
You can put the dofiles inside the action script, that way it has to load it.

I did the dofile on the action file. Nothing has changed.

Have you tried using require?
http://www.luafaq.org/#T1.19

If that doesn't work, call _G from the script, if the script sees it, assign your table directly to _G

Can you give me a simple example of what you are talking about? I have never faced this.

Thanks; however, I tried to call with the global table, tried to dofile on all the files, tried to require, and still. Any other suggestion?

is there a chance that there is another global variable in your actions enviroment named "Arena"? try renaming "Arena" to something like "event_Arena", "local arena = event_Arena[level]" and try

For some reason the table name Arena was not working on Actions, but working everywhere else.

I duplicated the table, Arena, and ArenaNew. Weird situation. Worked.
