Interface API Error: Attempt to index

  • BrianTheEngineer     22nd Dec 2019 Member 0 Permalink

    I was exploring my options with Lua scripting by creating an interface for the game. So naturally, I turned towards using the Interface API. However, that didn't work.

     

    It showed the error: attempt to index global "Window" (a nil value)

     

    From what I can understand, it is trying to access the Window object but fails because the object doesn't exist.

     

    How can I fix this?

    The interface api doesn't work in my mod, or on the Android port. If you want to use it, you have to use official TPT.

    Are you planning to add support for it at some point in the near future?

    I'd like to ... there's not much stopping me.

    Years ago it wasn't possible to add, but ever since I refactored things for the Android port, I could add the api. I just don't like the api very much and hope it gets rewritten, so I've held off putting it in my mod.

    So, what are the alternatives to the API? I want to make a STKM with powers that you select with a dropdown list.

    Is there any documentation for the script? I am having trouble understanding how it works.
