Main.lua:131 attempt to index local ‘up’ (a nil value)
Hi Guys, Hope you’re having a good day. I appologise if the error I’ve made is really simple. I’m new to lua and am still figuring it out. If you have a few minutes to spare I’d really appreciate if you took a look at the code. The error I’m getting is: Main.lua:131 attempt to index local ‘up’ (a nil value) I’ve put line 131 and the line I believe to be causing the error in stars so you don’t have to count every line. I don’t think controls.displayGroup has been initialized correctly but I’m not sure how to fix it.
