Been working for over a week; now it's not.

P3Dv5     LINDA3.2.6     FSUIPC 6.0. 11

For over a week this lua has been working just fine. It was working fine this morning. And now it's not. When trying to load I get the following error message in the LINDA2.log: 

[E] *** LUA Error: C:\Prepare3D v5 Add-ons\FSUIPC6\A2AB17_MixAdj_1.lua:7: attempt to call global 'adjust_mix_1' (a nil value)

The main script is set to autoload and run in FSUIPC6.ini. I have no idea why it ran without a hitch for days and now suddenly is faulting.

 

function MixAdj_1(offset, input)
MixAdj_1_in = ipc.readSW(0x66DB)
n = (MixAdj_1_in + 16383)/327.67
m = ipc.readLvar ("L:MixtureLock")

if m==0 then
adjust_mix_1 ()
else
end

function adjust_mix_1 ()

if (0 <= n and n <= 10) then
i = 4

elseif (10 < n and n <= 50) then
j = 3

elseif (50 < n and n <= 90) then
k = 2

elseif (90 < n and n <= 100) then
l = 1

else
end
end

if (i==4 and i ~= a) then
ipc.writeLvar("L:MixtureRatioLever1Position", 3)
a = 4
b = 0
c = 0
d = 0
j = 0
k = 0
l = 0
end

if (j==3 and j ~= b) then
ipc.writeLvar("L:MixtureRatioLever1Position", 2)
b = 3
a = 0
c = 0
d = 0
i = 0
k = 0
l = 0
end

if (k==2 and k ~= c) then
ipc.writeLvar("L:MixtureRatioLever1Position", 1)
c = 2
b = 0
d = 0
a = 0
i = 0
j = 0
l = 0
end

if (l==1 and l ~= d) then
ipc.writeLvar("L:MixtureRatioLever1Position", 0)
d = 1
c = 0
a = 0
b = 0
i = 0
j = 0
k = 0
end
end
event.offset(0x66DB,"SW","MixAdj_1")

The error is given (on line 7):

[E] *** LUA Error: C:\Prepare3D v5 Add-ons\FSUIPC6\A2AB17_MixAdj_1.lua:7: attempt to call global 'adjust_mix_1' (a nil value)

So its this call:
    adjust_mix_1 ()
This is calling a function before it is defined.
There are also other issues with that script, such as the conditional in the adjust_mix_1() function has a dangling 'else', and variables being tested without being defined or set anywhere, and other variables being set and never used.

It couldn't have ran without a hitch - the script must have changed.

Do you mean the Linda main script or that script? Anyway, If using Linda, you should use their support forum.

And your FSUIPC is out-of-date - the latest version is 6.0.12.

I have four identical scripts that differ only in their numeration, one each for engines 1 thru 4. All four have worked just fine this last week. All four stopped dead at the same time yesterday evening. All four have the same time stamp, dated last week. I assure you, they did run, and they haven't changed.

I'll agree that something has to have changed.

I meant that script. It auto loads using fsuipc6.ini, and is called using FSUIPC6 axis definition offsets. LINDA has nothing to do with these scripts.

I'll update that right now.

Fixed and working

>Update:

Still working, with the script variables identical as before. Only change being the repositioning of function MixAdj_1 to allow for it being defined.
