Here are some guidelines for making a post when you're asking for some help:
  • Some examples of good topic titles:
    • 
Attempt to index ? (a nil value)
How do I retrieve data from a broken computer?
I'm getting null pointer exceptions
What's the difference between io.* and fs.*
  • Try to explain what you're doing clearly, It's not always easy to figure out what you're trying to do.
  • Post your code if you're not getting it to work! We can't tell you what's wrong if we can't see your code.
  • If you get an error, please provide the entire error message and code. Don't provide 'some' of the error message, as it may not contain the important part(s).
  • When posting code, put it on pastebin/similar, or in [code] tags.
  • If you change your code, and get another error, re-post your code!
  • Be patient! We're voulenteering our time to help you.
  • Don't hijack other people's threads. You can make your own.
  • Don't expect people to write your code for you! If you don't want to write the code yourself, then you won't get anywhere.
