set timer problem"lua error ... attempt to call global 'set' a nil..."
Posted: Mon Jul 15, 2013 05:47Hi, I'm working on a mod in lieu of a good mapping mod or 3rd person view. The goal of the mod is to give you a quick top down view of where you are currently at. How you would use it: place the lookout block, and right-click it, after 5 or 10 seconds or if you right click again your game will resume.
here's the WIP code:
in line 36, I have tried "set(5,0)" "node.set(5,0)" "self.set(5,0)" "node:set(5, 0)" "start(5)" etc...
and I'm still getting this error message: attempt to call global 'set' (a nil value)
when as I understand the documentation it should be calling the on_timer method

here's the WIP code:
Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.
