Local function issues (attempt to index global self a nil value)(SOLVED)

[Vgreen]

Hello, I hope everything is well. I’ve been running into some issues when trying to work with some Local functions. I may be ordering them wrong, not sure…

In init I first define self.textbox.

Directly under init, I create this function to animate the node.

I then call show() in the on message function.

I get returned this error.

I think that I’m getting confused whether I should use self. or of I should use local, but I’m not sure. Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks,
V

Hi there! If I understand correctly your code fragments, you should replace

local function show()

by

local function show(self)

and call it as

show(self)

Ciao!
