Can't figure it out: attempt to index global 'missionCommands' (a nil value)

[spidierox]

Hey, 

I keep getting the same error and I have (re)searched some examples but can't figure it out... (btw. my first attempt at LUA)

This is the code:

local RadioMenu = missionCommands.addSubMenu ('Training')
local Menu_A2A = missionCommands.addSubMenu ("Air to Air Training", RadioMenu)
local BFM_F5 = missionCommands.addCommand ("BFM F5", Menu_A2A)

and I keep getting "attempt to index global 'missionCommands' (a nil value)"

Anyone can help ? or have a link ? it is the part where it says "index global" 

I have added submenu's with the .addsubMenu (2 even 3 layers deep) but as soon as I reference the .addCommand I get the error.
Maybe someone can give some guidance as I am clueless now... 

Thanks in advance

" local BFM_F5 = missionCommands.addCommand ("BFM F5", Menu_A2A) "

thers no command in that string, it should be ("BFM F5", Menu_A2A, COMMAND_FUNC)

you are try to add a command without set wich comand it have to call.

function COMMAND_FUNC()
..your script here..
end

[spidierox]

local function Call_me ()
-- try  out
trigger.action.outText("F-5 spawned for BFM training!", 10)
end

local RadioMenu = missionCommands.addSubMenu ('Training')
local Menu_A2A = missionCommands.addSubMenu ("Air to Air Training", RadioMenu)
local BFM_F5 = missionCommands.addCommand ("BFM F5", Menu_A2A, Call_me)

 

Same problem : "attempt to index global 'missionCommands' (a nil value)" --> this is my issue

Can you attach a mission with the script causing an error?

Here is the LUA script

Radio menu.lua

not sure about but may you need to use Call_Me() without space or remove the "local" or maybe both
