Attempt to call a nil value (field)

FiveM Resource Development Discussion

Can someone help me? I’m trying to write a framework for FiveM, and I have this function, yet when I call it it says "attempt to call a nil value (field “AddCommand”). I have referenced the lua in the shared folder and the shared folder is higher than the rest in the fxmanifest, so what am I doing wrong?

function LBCore.Functions.AddCommand(command, callback, suggestion, args)
    RegisterCommand(command, function ()
        -- If there are suggestions, then add them
        if suggestion then
            TriggerEvent('chat:addSuggestion', {
                commandName = "/" ..command,
                commandDescription = "/" .. command .. ": Hello",
                {
                    name = "paramName1", help = "Param Description 1"
                }
            })
        end
    end)
end

LBCore = {}
LBCore.Functions = {}
LBShared = {}

Hello, @Timothy_Sharp. To fix this error, please provide more context such as to where you are calling it from, what file name is such as (client.lua or server.lua). Please provide screenshots or some more errors that can be used to help me solve this.

I have made my functions like this, under the client folder in a file called functions.lua. I am calling it from client/main

Try passing thru the required args like so:

print('running')

LBCore.Functions:AddCommand("test", callback, "a command!",  args)

Nope, I did and it still says the same thing

If it helps, I can’t call the function on the server side OR the client side. I don’t know what tf is going on

I can’t pay you, don’t worry about it. Just the help on here will be fine

So I am dumb and I did not know that the only way to call functions through server-side from client-side is triggering events. It’s all fixed now!

Ah, okay, all good! I didn’t know you were calling it from client. Have fun developing!
