AceConfig OptionsTable Radio Help

Hello, i working my first time with AceConfig Options Table and AceDB,

if i press on one of the radio i got this error.

Code:

attempt to index field 'repairMode' (a string value)

i have a table with follow information

Code:

local repairModeList = {

        ["1"] = "Own gold",

        ["2"] = "Guild bank",

}

i have under RegusterDefaults a Variable with the name

Code:

self.db:RegisterDefaults({

        char = {

                autoRepair = true,

                printRepairGold = true,

                repairMode = "1",

        }

})

and in the Table for AceConfig OptionsTable a radio like this.

Code:

repairMode = {

        order        = 17,

        type        = "select",

        name    = "Repair mode",

        desc    = "",

        style        = "radio",

        values        = repairModeList,

        get          = function(key) return self.db.char.repairMode[key.arg] end,

        set          = function(key, value) self.db.char.repairMode[key.arg] = value end,

},

i hope anyone can help me..

Well you already set repairMode as a string ("1"), and then you try to reuse it as a table, which is bound to cause issues no matter what for what you're trying to do. :p

Hey Ammako thx for your answer, is there a possibility to get the key and safe it as a String ? or is there a better way ?

so that i can check the code with like

Code:

if (repairMode == "1") then

example code here...

elseif (repairMode == "2") then

example code here...

end

When making option menus and stuff I like to name the variables after what they are; in this case it would be repairModeRadioButton.
That way you guarantee that there will be no conflicts with accidentally naming two variables the same thing.

Maybe you can set some variables as local, too, but idk how Ace works and if it would allow it.

Ok, thx for the tipp with the Variables names,

i test it a little bit an got a fix with

Code:

repairMode = {

        order        = 17,

        type        = "select",

        name    = "Repair mode",

        desc    = "",

        style        = "radio",

        values        = repairModeList,

        get          = function(info, value) return self.db.char.repairMode end,

        set          = function(info, value) self.db.char.repairMode = value end,

},
