Stuck on Setting Variable Data and Reading them.

[PJizzle]

Hi,

I'm trying to Set my Variables OnLoad Here's my code

In the GuildRecruit_Loaded() I set my default values and save them out.
Each of my option boxes (frames) has an OnLoad to function GuildRecruit_OptionsOnLoad()

But when that function starts I get and I get an "attempt to index global 'GuildRecruit_PostOptions' (a nil value). It seems that It's not reading the saved variables.

Any Suggestions???

function GuildRecruit_OnEvent(self, event, ...) if (event == "VARIABLES_LOADED") then GuildRecruit_Loaded(); end end --[[ PROPAGATE DEFAULTS AND SAVED DATA ]] function GuildRecruit_Loaded() -- SET VARIABLES AND DEFAULTS if (not GuildRecruit_AdOptions) then --AD OPTIONS DEFAULT CHECK AND LOAD GuildRecruit_AdOptions = GuildRecruit_Defaults["AdOptions"]; DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("GuildRecruit AD Options database not found. Generating..."); end if (not GuildRecruit_PostOptions) then --POST RULES OPTIONS DEFAULT CHECK AND LOAD GuildRecruit_PostOptions = setglobal(GuildRecruit_Defaults["PostOptions"]); DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("GuildRecruit POST Options database not found. Generating..."); end if (not GuildRecruit_LinkOptions) then --LINK OPTIONS DEFAULT CHECK AND LOAD GuildRecruit_LinkOptions = GuildRecruit_Defaults["LinkOptions"]; DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("GuildRecruit LINK Options database not found. Generating..."); end end --[[ END PROPAGATE DEFAULTS AND SAVED DATA ]] --[[ BEGIN READING THROUGH SAVED VARIABLES ]] function GuildRecruit_OptionsOnLoad() -- LOAD DATA TO OPTIONS BEGIN local LoadedOptionBox = this:GetName(); if (LoadedOptionBox == "GuildRecruitROption") then --ON POST OPTIONS LOAD PROPAGATE VARAIBLES for i=1,12 do local Rtextinput = getglobal("GuildRecruitROption_Text"..i); local Rtexttemp = "PTxt"..i..""; local Rtextinputvalue = GuildRecruit_PostOptions[Rtexttemp]; Rtextinput:SetText(Rtextinputvalue); local Renableinput = getglobal("GuildRecruitROption_Enable"..i); local Renabletemp = "P"..i..""; local Renableinputvalue = GuildRecruit_PostOptions[Renabletemp]; Renableinput:SetChecked(Renableinputvalue); end out("Loaded Options: "..LoadedOptionBox); elseif (LoadedOptionBox == "GuildRecruitLOption") then --ON LINKS OPTIONS LOAD PROPAGATE VARAIBLES for i=1,10 do local Ltextinput = getglobal("GuildRecruitLOption_Text"..i); local Ltexttemp = "LTxt"..i..""; local Ltextinputvalue = GuildRecruit_LinkOptions[Ltexttemp]; out("L feedback: "..Ltexttemp); Ltextinput:SetText(Ltextinputvalue); local Lenableinput = getglobal("GuildRecruitLOption_Enable"..i); local Lenabletemp = "L"..i..""; local Lenableinputvalue = GuildRecruit_LinkOptions[Lenabletemp]; Lenableinput:SetChecked(Lenableinputvalue); end out("Loaded Options: "..LoadedOptionBox); elseif (LoadedOptionBox == "GuildRecruitAdOptions") then --ON AD OPTIONS LOAD PROPAGATE VARAIBLES GuildRecruitAdOptions_AdPanel_AdMultiplier:SetText(GuildRecruit_AdOptions["AdMultiplierVal"]) GuildRecruitAdOptions_AdPanel_AdChatNumber:SetText(GuildRecruit_AdOptions["ChanNumVal"]); GuildRecruitAdOptions_AdMessageEdit:SetText(GuildRecruit_AdOptions["AdMessageVal"]); out("Loaded Options: "..LoadedOptionBox); end -- LOAD DATA TO OPTIONS END end

Please help thanks.

Hum, not sure I've undestood...
To check if stored options exists and are loaded, I would use:

if (GuildRecruit_PostOptions == nil) then... Not Found

If I understood you have:
GuildRecruit_OptionsOnLoad() - Called as <OnLoad> script for your frame(s)
GuildRecruit_Loaded() - Called when VARIABLES_LOADED is fired

The problem is in the GuildRecruit_PostOptions variable, which is initializaed by GR_Loaded() and used by GR_OptionsOnLoad().

Excuse me but, AFAIK, <OnLoad> sections are executed before VARIABLE_LOADED is fired.
If you don't have a default GR_PostOptions loading somewhere before <OnLoad> this error will always occur.

Let me say that using saved variables before that VARIABLES_LOADED is fired may cause headaches.

I think that you can just declare the variables at the beginning of the file ( GuildRecruit_PostOptions = {'whatever goes in this variable'} etc) not in any functions or anything , then any saved variables will override those as soon as there loaded

Thanks,

I'll go through my code and clean house a little bit.
