First put this in bug reports, upon consideration.. I dont think it is a mush bug report!

--

This bug report popped up after the system cures an affliction.

Error number: 0
Event: Run-time error
Description: ...Hclient\ACS2\modules\scripts\plugins\afflictions.lua:709: attempt to call field '?' (a nil value)

stack traceback:

...Hclient\ACS2\modules\scripts\plugins\afflictions.lua:709: in function 'default'

...Hclient\ACS2\modules\scripts\plugins\afflictions.lua:715: in function '?'

...)\MUSHclient\ACS2\modules\scripts\plugins\prompt.lua:179: in function <...)\MUSHclient\ACS2\modules\scripts\plugins\prompt.lua:54>
Called by: Function/Sub: on_prompt called by trigger

Reason: processing trigger "PromptTrigger"

It also made every prompt line pop a line up that said "on_prompt" had an issue.

I really don't know that much about this business, and the system creator isn't around. Any direction as tow here to begin to fix this would be great, or maybe I did something stupid with settings!

Here we go

I've taken the liberty of removing your other post since you seem to want this one to be the reference post.

It is hard to say, seeing as I didn't write any of this, but some debugging would help. Around line 709, where the error occurred, in file afflictions.lua, add the extra code in bold so it reads like this:


function afflict_default(affliction)
	local acknowledged = afflicted(affliction)

  if not cures[affliction] then   -- add these 3 lines
      Note ("No cure known for affliction ", affliction)
  else 	
  	if(acknowledged and acknowledged[2]) then
	  	cures[affliction]()
  	end
  end  -- add this too	
end

I am guessing that the variable "affliction" is set to something that is not in the cures table, and thus cures[affliction] is nil, and you cannot call a nil value.

I'm trying to see if I can fix it. It has some break lines that are wrong.

In every case that it applied mending to legs, its hould've done apply restoration.

I'm a tinkerin! I dont know where the cure calls are, so I have to find those.
