ipc.CalcCode("code") error (Can't figure out why)

[DaveSCUSA]

Dear John,

I am receiving Lua errors on several (or all) ipc.CalcCode("code") statements and can't figure out why. I double checked the ipc code, event syntax and compared the coding to similar code in the events.txt file. Please help.

Following is the log error and Lua code for a couple of examples:

132562 *** LUA Error: C:\FSUIPC7\MSFSLua\DA62_12Keys.lua:68: attempt to call field 'CalcCode' (a nil value)
68                  ipc.CalcCode("1 (>K:SET_STARTER1_HELD)")
128500 *** LUA Error: C:\FSUIPC7\MSFSLua\DA62_12Keys.lua:120: attempt to call field 'CalcCode' (a nil value)
120                  ipc.CalcCode("1 (>K:ENGINE_MASTER_1_TOGGLE)")        
130234 *** LUA Error: C:\FSUIPC7\MSFSLua\DA62_12Keys.lua:149: attempt to call field 'CalcCode' (a nil value)
149                  ipc.CalcCode("1 (>K:ENGINE_MASTER_2_TOGGLE)")    

Sample events I looked are:

PA24_250_Magneto_Both#3 (>K:MAGNETO1_SET)
PA24_250_Magneto_Left#2 (>K:MAGNETO1_SET)
PA24_250_Magneto_Off#0 (>K:MAGNETO1_SET)
PA24_250_Magneto_Right#1 (>K:MAGNETO1_SET)

For the life of me I can't figure out why.

Thanks

It's ipc.execCalcCode(...)

Duh, thank you.

That's why in progtramming one has walksthru. Or better error descriptions in compilers.

Well, the error description is spot on. ipc is a table and "execCalcCode" is a field in this table.. Look at this, both syntaxes are valid:

 

ipc.execCalcCode("1 (>K:SET_STARTER1_HELD)")

ipc["execCalcCode"]("1 (>K:SET_STARTER1_HELD)")

The error message tells you that there is no table entry with key "CalcCode" (there is no field named "CalcCode") in table ipc.

Or maybe try looking at the provided documentation....
