Getting table as nil

dragank

Hi all.

I am trying to write function for creating custom structure. 

I can not determine why I get nil as value for cornerVariableTable


Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    I'am afraid we need a little more information to answer this. Where exactly do you get nil for the cornerVariableTable? How do you call the function?
    If you make a call to that function and have at least one iteration in the outer foreach loop then cornerVariableTable should in fact become a table. However you don't have this variable declared as a local variable, so maybe it is a global variable that is nil in the first place and then you have no foreach iterations (because rdb->corners() returns nil...) so it simply stays nil.
    But again - this is just guessing. Answering this just by looking at the function definition is a little difficult..

    I do not know what went wrong. Now it is not null.

    A general note - when asking for help on SKILL code, sending a picture of the code is not terribly helpful. None of us is going to type it in again to try to debug (there's often benefit in being able to run it, or even just run SKILL Lint on it). Please post the code itself as text, not as a picture.

    Your code could seriously do with many of the variables being declared in the let. It's an accident waiting to happen (especially if you're doing the same in your crnrGroupName function).

    Andrew.

    Ok. Next time I am sending code.
