attempt to index field `?' (a nil value)

[Eternalydead]

Ok, here's the problem. I'm trying to write an AddOn, everything is looking fine, until I log in and see "Interface\AddOns\AutoAccept\AutoAccept.lua:100: Attempt to index field `?' (a nil value)". Here's an excerpt of my .lua file from lines 99 - 104

function AutoAccept_ShowStatus()
if (AutoAcceptOptions[Realm][Player].Enabled ) then
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(AA_STATUS_ON);
if (AutoAcceptOptions[Realm][Player].Mode == 'friend') then
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(AA_FRIEND_MODE);
end.

I have the functions set up right in the beginning (I believe) and I have them set to run on event PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD. Any Help is appreciated.

my guess is either Realm or Player is nil on the the 2nd line you have:

if (AutoAcceptOptions[Realm][Player].Enabled ) then


edit; its hard to tell why without seeing the entire thing :(

Part where it registers the commands:
local function AutoAccept_InitializeSetup()
Player=UnitName("player");
Realm=GetCVar("realmName");

if AutoAcceptOptions[Realm] == nil then
AutoAcceptOptions[Realm] = {}
end

if AutoAcceptOptions[Realm][Player] == nil then
AutoAcceptOptions[Realm][Player] = {};
AutoAcceptOptions[Realm][Player].Enabled = true;
end

if (AutoAcceptOptions[Realm][Player].Mode == nil) then
AutoAcceptOptions[Realm][Player].Mode = 'none';
end

if (AutoAcceptOptions[Realm][Player].DeclineMode == nil) then
AutoAcceptOptions[Realm][Player].DeclineMode = 'none';
end;

if (AutoAcceptOptions[Realm][Player].GuildList ~= nil) then
AutoAcceptOptions[Realm][Player].GuildList = nil;
end;
end;


Lines 99-104, 100 giving me trouble:

function AutoAccept_ShowStatus()
if (AutoAcceptOptions[Realm][Player].Enabled ) then
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(AA_STATUS_ON);
if (AutoAcceptOptions[Realm][Player].Mode == 'friend') then
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(AA_FRIEND_MODE);
end

hopefully this helps.

AutoAcceptOptions[Realm][Player].Enabled

realm or player is nil, but i cant reproduce it :(

ill try making some code thats doing what your trying =/

Hmmm, maybe GetCVar is not working correctly ? You could try using GetRealmName() instead.

ok this works for me:

AutoAccept.lua

local AA_STATUS_ON = "AutoAccept Enabled.";
local AA_STATUS_OFF = "AutoAccept Disabled.";
local AA_FRIEND_MODE = "AutoAccept Mode: Friend";

local function AutoAccept_InitializeSetup()
Player=UnitName("player");
Realm=GetCVar("realmName");

if AutoAcceptOptions == nil then
AutoAcceptOptions = { };
end

if AutoAcceptOptions[Realm] == nil then
AutoAcceptOptions[Realm] = {}

if (AutoAcceptOptions[Realm][Player].Mode == 'friend') then

end
end

function AutoAccept_OnLoad()
this:RegisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED");
end

function AutoAccept_OnEvent(event, arg1, arg2, arg3)
if event == "ADDON_LOADED" and arg1 == "AutoAccept" then
AutoAccept_InitializeSetup();
AutoAccept_ShowStatus();
end
end



and it created this in WTF\Account\[account]\SavedVariables\AutoAccept.lua

AutoAcceptOptions = {
["REALM"] = {
["PLAYER"] = {
["Enabled"] = true,
["DeclineMode"] = "none",
["Mode"] = "none",
},
},
}


of course REALM and PLAYER are the real stuff, i just edited that. so it should work.
