Unknown Cause for Error?
Every time I run the print statement I get an error (at the line of the print not in my function) that says " attempt to index a nil value" If anyone could explain to me what's causing this I would very much appreciate it. c:
01 | local function getMostDramatic(axis,up,tab) |
02 | local most=tab[0] |
03 | for i, v in pairs(tab) do |
04 | if up then |
05 | if axis=="x" then if v.x>most.x then most=v end |
06 | elseif axis=="y" then if v.y>most.y then most=v end |
07 | end |
08 | elseif not up then |
09 | if axis=="x" then if v.x<most.x then most=v end |
10 | elseif axis=="y" then if v.y<most.y then most=v end |
11 | end |
12 | end |
13 | end |
14 | end |
15 | --The line that is causing the error is right here and not up in my function. |
16 | print(getMostDramatic("x",true,{Vector2.new(2,0),Vector2.new(10,0)}).x) |

I'm confused as to why it wasn't telling me there was an error on line 5,6,9, or 10 because tables actually start counting at 1 and so that was the nil value ... anywas c: I'm not getting this error anymore so idc Prohibetur 70 — 9y

You either have too many ends, or not enough ends...let me see... Using tabs can help you organize your code. Spaces make it hard to read
01 | local function getMostDramatic(axis,up,tab) |
02 | local most=tab[0] |
03 | for i, v in pairs(tab) do |
04 | if up then |
05 | if axis=="x" then |
06 | if v.x>most.x then |
07 | most=v |
08 | end |
09 | elseif axis=="y" then |
10 | if v.y>most.y then |
11 | most=v |
12 | end |
13 | end |
14 | elseif not up then |
15 | if axis=="x" then |

Did you see what I fixed? You missed not one, but TWO ends!
Organize your code so that you don't make simple mistakes. Trust me, I catch myself with not enough ends a lot.

Where are you claiming that I missed 2 ends? ctrl+f showed that we both had 9 ends in our code ... Prohibetur 70 — 9y

Odd...I removed two ends. Did you change your code? Run it again and tell me the error once more lightpower26 399 — 9y
