Can anyone help me troubleshoot real short code

https://github.com/Rootkit-/Devil/bl...ersClassic.lua

I have no idea why its not running.

Maybe I am missing something at first glance, but you don't define "DevilHunters" anywhere as an addon.

Code:

local DevilHunters = {}



-- OR



local name, DevilHunters = ...

One of these two should be the very first line of your code.

Line 119: Your addon is called "DevilsHuntersClassic" and not "DevilsHunters"

And all the functions and variables you use should be locals.

Quote:

One stumbling block for Lua programmers coming from other languages is the fact that all variables are global unless specified otherwise. Many times, the use of global variables is necessary: saved variables are created via the global environment; all API functions and UI frames are in the global namespace. However, globals come at a cost of both performance, and naming conflicts.

Globals are inefficient to access compared to locals. Whenever a global is accessed, Lua has to call the internal equivalent of getfenv() to figure out where to retrieve the global from. Local variables, on the other hand, are stored on a stack.
