Ok here is the entire LUA, ill point out the part I cant get right below. Code: require "/scripts/util.lua" require "/scripts/vec2.lua" require "/quests/scripts/portraits.lua" require "/quests/scripts/questutil.lua" function init() setPortraits() storage.complete = storage.complete or false self.compassUpdate = config.getParameter("compassUpdate", 0.5) storage.stage = 1 self.stages = { turnIn } self.state = FSM:new() self.state:set(self.stages[storage.stage]) end function questInteract(entityId) if self.onInteract then return self.onInteract(entityId) end end function questStart() player.enableMission(config.getParameter("associatedMission")) end function questComplete() setPortraits() questutil.questCompleteActions() end function turnIn() quest.setIndicators({}) quest.setCompassDirection(nil) quest.setObjectiveList({{config.getParameter("descriptions.turnIn"), false}}) quest.setCanTurnIn(true) local findJedi = util.uniqueEntityTracker(self.jediUid, self.compassUpdate) while storage.stage == 1 do questutil.pointCompassAt(findJedi()) coroutine.yield() end end With the code like that, I get an error at line 20 which is : self.state:set(self.stages[storage.stage]) The error says: [C]: in ?

Code: [Error] Exception while calling script init: (LuaException) Error code 2, [string "/scripts/util.lua"]:868: [string "/quests/scripts/jedi/jeditemple.lua"]:49: [string "/scripts/util.lua"]:297: (LuaConversionException) Error converting LuaValue to type 'class Star::String' Lets unwind that a bit Code: (LuaConversionException) Error converting LuaValue to type 'class Star::String' This means it needs a string, and it got something which cannot be converted to a string. LuaValue represent any data type that is valid in LUA. boolean number (I believe this would convert) table string (obviously this would convert to a C string) function userdata thread nil I've seen this most often because something received nil rather than what it needed. But possibly you have a table improperly nested and thus you sent a table. Next lets look at the rest Code: [string "/scripts/util.lua"]:868: [string "/quests/scripts/jedi/jeditemple.lua"]:49: [string "/scripts/util.lua"]:297: This is tracing back what got called, and what function called it. More specifically one function calling another (needing the return to continue), and that function calling yet another. Look well at what arguments are being passed by your script's line 49, and then look at where it got that data, and what might have been done to that data since. I think you're going to want to do some strategic placing of debugger code in your script. Dumping strings is easy enough, but in case you need to dump tables I'll give you something I made that I think is sort of nice. Code: makeString = function(someTable, baseName, str)--debug purposes only str = str or "" for k, v in pairs(someTable) do if type(v) == "table" then if ( function(v) for _, __ in pairs(v) do return false end return true end ) then str = str .. baseName .. "." .. tostring(k) .. " : { }\n" elseif (#v == 2) and (type(v[1]) == "number") and (type(v[2]) == "number") then --coordinate table str = str .. baseName .. "." .. tostring(k) .. " : {" .. v[1] .. ", " .. v[2] .. "}\n" else str = str .. makeString(v , baseName .. "." .. tostring(k), "") --.. "\n" --recursive calls don't necessarily need the original string because the main function will still have it end elseif (type(v) == "string") then str = str .. baseName .. "." .. tostring(k) .. " : \"" .. v .. "\"\n" elseif not (type(v) == "function") then str = str .. baseName .. "." .. tostring(k) .. " : " .. tostring(v) .. "\n" end end return str end It accepts 3 arguments 1. The table you want to look at. 2. A string that generally should reflect the table's name because otherwise your log might not make much sense. 3. A string that goes at the beginning of the return. The rest of the results would be appended to this. Totally optional but nice if you had some previous results that you are adding onto. Or a note of some sort - perhaps telling you some specific context involved like a seed used, what function/line/etc you're currently at, etc. It returns a string. Sometimes a very long string. This function is recursive - it calls itself to handle nested tables. Because of the intended purpose of this function, it ignores functions within tables. I have other things for function dumps. A sample use looks like this Code: local dump = makeString(myTable, "myTable", "\n") sb.logInfo(dump) or Code: local dump = makeString(storage, "storage", "\ncalled from end of init\n") sb.logInfo(dump) generally good targets include the self and storage tables, but anything you need to see a readout of. An example log readout where I'm using this for a particular project. Code: [05:09:32.460] [Info] ------begin_damageRequest------( --applyDamageRequest called applyDamageRequest.damageSourceKind : falling applyDamageRequest.damage : 43.63330078125 applyDamageRequest.hitType : Hit applyDamageRequest.damageType : IgnoresDef applyDamageRequest.sourceEntityId : -65536 applyDamageRequest.knockbackMomentum : {0.0, 0.0} --Modified damageRequest applyDamageRequest.damageSourceKind : falling applyDamageRequest.damage : 0 applyDamageRequest.hitType : Hit applyDamageRequest.damageType : IgnoresDef applyDamageRequest.sourceEntityId : -65536 applyDamageRequest.knockbackMomentum : {0.0, 0.0} sT_dF.moved : {0.1561279296875, -0.4708251953125} sT_dF.lastVelocity : {9.3649082183838, -49.088359832764} sT_dF.velocity : {5.9506182670593, -19.221548080444} sT_dF.pos : {943.39672851563, 601.5} sT_dF.mass : 1.6000000238419 sT_dF.lastPos : {943.24060058594, 601.97082519531} sT_dF.totalMoved : {-5.4498901367188, 28.54443359375} sT_param.baseGravity : 80 sT_param.diffDivisor : 30 sT_param.damageThreshold : 1.5 sT_param.velocityThreshold : {1024, 40} sT_param.mode : gravMod sT_param.baseVelocity : {69.8, 69.8} sT_param.damageFactor : 3 sT_param.travelThreshold : {1024, 14} )------End_of_damageRequest------ That's me actually calling this function more than once for different tables, but I can add previous results into new results. All this - not to mention your log file itself - would probably be easier to read with the custom language setting I used and just attached (for importing into Notepad++). I had to put it in a 7z file so the forum would allow it to be attached but the actual file is XML. Anyhow where you are at is wanting to add a lot of log dumping code into your current script. You can comment it out later. Because the question that should follow "it isn't doing what I expected" should be "well what IS it doing". So dump the arguments you're sending to the function that is crashing. Do your dump right before the crash point. And where you might not be sure how far things are getting, debug code can tell you that too. If it is supposed to drop a particular message, and that message isn't in your log... that code never ran.
