I haven't come across this error yet and I'm wondering what it means. Could someone tell me what Error: 186 means?

These types of errors can be caused by a lot of things, code would help. Are you running it on an advanced computer? If so try on a normal computer without color printing and see what happens. Check for recursive functions(a function that calls itself) and do what you can to remove them.

Error 186 doesn't mean anything because Lua doesn't number its errors. Perhaps you've confused it with the line number? Please post the entire error along with the line of code that it's caused by.

Some peripherals have been known to throw errors like this - the number may not refer to a line in the script. If that's the case, then the error doesn't reveal much more than "you done goofed". Typically you'll need to throw some print statements into your script to help you pinpoint where the problem is, after which it's usually fairly easy to work out the "why".
