[Lua][Error] attempt to call number

I'm close to finishing my program but I can't figure out this last bug

attempt to call number on line 311

https://github.com/Henness0666/Advanced-Programs/blob/master/advancedorefinder

this is your naming conflict. you have a variable called face, and a function called face, it thinks you are trying to call the variable because of how lua does function pointers. I suggest that you try find/replace face( with something like setFace( (or whatever that function does, make you function names descriptive, coding standards say a function name should be a verb followed by a 1-3 word description of what it does).

Thanks

well either that or a table storing the face value and a metatable so you can call it too. I like doing that as it keeps your variables organised

I hate tables :(/>
I'm getting attempt to compare string with number expected, got string on line 336

Thanks for all the help

where is ofSave["l"] initialised? and is it actually a number being saved? (had a quick look and i could only see it being used)

line 435

You pass in tArgs[2] and make it length and then use it in runOreFinder() without changing it to number, so it's a string.

thanks I added some tonumber() to the tArgs

New problem and its not a error this time I'm getting closer. My problem is that the program is just ignoring my width and length variables. It just continues on and on in a strait line. And I have no Idea why it doesn't make sense.

I finally got it there was a variable that was local that shouldn't have been.
