Export.lua not exporting to file for my missions

[ViperAero]

I have modified my export.lua to export things like vehicle positions, attitude data, etc. It works OK when I run missions that ship with DCS but when I run missions I've created through the mission editor with multiple aircraft available to the user nothing exports. I get an error about selfData being a nil value

DCS.openbeta\Scripts\Export.lua"]:73: attempt to index local 'selfData' (a nil value)
stack traceback:

Scripts\Export.lua"]:73: in function <[string "C:\Users\kenne\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\Export.lua"]:44

Line 73 is my first attempt in the script to get something from the LoGetSelfData() function.  Line 44 is the beginning of the LuaExportActivityNextEvent() function

 

I first attempted commenting out the sanitizeModule lines, deleting everything below the dofile('Scripts/ScriptingSystem.lua'), and commenting out the do loop, and I haven't seen any change.

 

--local function sanitizeModule(name)
    --_G[name] = nil
    --package.loaded[name] = nil
--end

--do
    --sanitizeModule('os')
    --sanitizeModule('io')
    --sanitizeModule('lfs')
    --_G['require'] = nil
    --_G['loadlib'] = nil
    --_G['package'] = nil
--end
 

 

Any thoughts as to what I'm missing?

At a guess when you’re at the slot selection screen it’s trying to export the data but you have not got a slot yet so self data is null values…

I suggest you add a few lines of safety code that checks the values are not null before it tries to export them.
