:37: attempt to call nil

This problem has been vexing me for three days now this is my first post because i have tried almost everything i can think of to make this work. This program is a simple menu program and everything about it works BESIDES a this function local event , key = os.pullEvent(key). I checked the wiki and all the syntax is right. I rewrote the program 3 times to try to get it to work….. no luck when i try just the command without the program it works…. anyway thanks for your time here is the code for you to see.

os.pullEvent("key")

Needs quotes. Otherwise it thinks you are trying to call the empty variable you just instantiated.

tried that doesn't work and wow that was fast

Oh, I see.


You wrote over an API with a table. Don't label things os. Use os1. That's why it doesn't know about pullEvent().

oh… my… god…. i thought i was a better coder than that :P/> thanks a bunch

We all have our days. I spent a good few hours looking for a lost if-end. Turns out I had left off an equals somewhere.
