List of Error and fixs

[Lee_newsum]

a page/s i wold liike to see added is a list of Error and ways to fix them.

on the wiki Prototype definitions, Lua events, Lua objects, Script interfaces and Migration scripts but if you are moding and get a error you srarch forums/post for help, yes this is what itis for but missing a "{" or "," can be a pine to find if you no that is the error you have.

Erm. Do you mean you want a list of lua-errors, and what can be done to fix them?

[Lee_newsum]

yes

Well, I don't know, where I can get such a list. For me it is not a wiki think, it's a developer suggestion.

Hm. Should I move this to suggestions?

Im not sure exactly what you are suggesting because of the part at the end of your post saying essentially talking about syntactical errors. Reallistically apart from using a lua IDE (or code checker) you cant really give a fix for a problem like that since it depends where youve gone wrong in your code. In any case that would be more specific to making an error in Lua itself rather than (lets say) giving the wrong parameters to a game function. In a scenario like that it'd be best of going to google and using the Lua wiki rather than maintaining a second list of all possible Lua errors on the factorio wiki.

If you mean specific to factorio functions then sure we could probably get some sort of "Known errors and fixes" list going. Just need to actually test all different things to get it to throw errors and then document how that error occurred and how to avoid it (for example a common one would be crashing the game by setting a GuiStyle property on a GuiElement directly without calling it on the style field).

Very old... But would that be a begin?
