lua\includes\extensions\string.lua:33: bad argument #1 to 'find' (string expected, got nil)

i that some broken in Garry's Mod, or does it have something to do with my Gamemode ?

[|King Flawless|]

Its something to do with your gamemode

[grunewald]

Ok thanks :)

what is the thing that noramlly cause this bug?

[|King Flawless|]

Your passing nil to string.Explode somewhere

[grunewald]

what does that mean.. if you should explain that for some one who is not a coder.. ?

[MegaJohnny]

The error means a function got nil as one of the arguments when it wanted a string. A variable is nil if it doesn't exist.

Can we see some code?

[grunewald]

i am trying to fix it.. :) i will post a reply in here if i need more help with it :D

[Cubar]

[QUOTE=grunewald;23181754]i am trying to fix it.. :) i will post a reply in here if i need more help with it :D[/QUOTE]

Selfish we help you you don't share any code, maybe we/i should stop helping.

[grunewald]

WTF are i am just saving you guys for more "work" sorry man.. but i like to do it on my own :)

[Willox]

Dont listen to him :/

[grunewald]

[QUOTE=Willox;23184249]Dont listen to him :/[/QUOTE]

I am not listen him, and thanks for your support :)

[Cubar]

[QUOTE=Willox;23184249]Dont listen to him :/[/QUOTE]

Won't need too, fact is your stupid and i won't be helping no more.

[MegaJohnny]

Calm down - he said he's going to try and fix it on his own, and ask us if he hits another wall. If anything it's good that he's trying to solve problems without instantly resorting to help.

[_nonSENSE]

Indeed. Don't listen to him; if he doesn't want to help, let him cry in a corner. If you need any more help, feel free to post.

[grunewald]

i guys.. i found a older version on my PC so i work for that point where i di get .. :)

[MegaJohnny]

Is this error blue (server) or yellow (client)? Also, when exactly does this error come up - when the server appears, spammed when you hold a button down etc?

[grunewald]

here is the console print when i use changegamemode rp_downtown_v2 undergroundrp

lua\includes\extensions\string.lua:33: bad argument #1 to 'find' (string expected, got nil)

wanna se the code.. ?

[samwilki]

Yes.

[|King Flawless|]

How many times do we have to ask you to let us see the code? we cant fix it if we dont have it.

[grunewald]

can it be something like this

[lua]
local current = tonumber( pl:GetPData( "inv_pistol_ammo" ) )
if current > 0 then
[/lua]

[ralle105]

No, look for string.Explode

[grunewald]

there is none in my script.. :(
i did use the search function in Notepad++.. was searching for Explode

[|King Flawless|]

[QUOTE=grunewald;23206381]there is none in my script.. :(

That error says otherwise

[grunewald]

.. so you say that first time i every did see the text string.Explode was in here and then i did in some random way add for my script? LOL :)

well the string.Explode thing is NOT in my gamemode. is it possible at there is ohter reason?

If the error causes your gamemode not to load correct then its in your gamemode if not it could be in an addon or another lua file in lua/autorun

[MegaJohnny]

Well, the actual function where it's going wrong is string.find, so do you have that in your code anywhere?

[grunewald]

I just run this command changegamemode rp_downtown_v2 sandbox

this is the console print

[QUOTE=MegaJohnny;23207152]Well, the actual function where it's going wrong is string.find, so do you have that in your code anywhere?[/QUOTE]

string.Explode uses string.find the error is due to string.Explode being sent a nil value

Sandboxs works fine stop trying to blame your errors on it

[pollyzoid]

Looking at the console log it seems to be Wire, as your gamemode is loading fine.
