*Resolved* [Lua] running functions from lists

**RESOLVED**

So, I am writing a *fairly* complex GUI program with scrolling menu's but I am having trouble running different functions for each item.
I am trying to do it by referencing a function from a list.

Here is the code getting the error according to the in-game computer.
(Error is an "attempt to call nil" at line 205(bellow))

	typelist[tftype].func()

the typelist is here…

local typelist = {
["menu"] = {func = changeMenu()},
["text"] = {func = plainText()},
["special"] = {}
}

I should note that during debugging i have found that the "tftype" variable is correct and on the list (always "menu" when testing)

the changeMenu() function is:

function changeMenu()
menustate = mopt[menustate].options[select].link
end

(menustate is "admin")

Finally, the relevant part of mopt is:

local mopt = {
  ["admin"] = {
  options = {
  {display= "Pink",
   link = "admin",
   ftype = "menu",
   colour = colours.pink} ,
  {display= "Apple",
   link = "test",
   ftype = "menu",
   colour = colours.green} ,

the code compiles but does not run past when I try and switch menu's

I will try to respond to any queries or extra info needed as quickly as possible…

You have to asign the functions and not their return values, so remove the brackets there:

local typelist = {
["menu"] = { func = changeMenu },
["text"] = { func = plainText },
["special"] = {}
}

That way it will asign the functions instead of calling them and assign their return value.

Thank you so much, I've only really just started this and was so confused.Thanks for the quick response!
