Addon does not display messages in chat

In general, in a nutshell. I wanted to make an addon on WotLK, which does the calculation of the number of circles in Dalaran. But the problem is that when you enter the command, it writes that it is unknown
code:

Code:

lua

local points = {

    A = {x1 = 58, y1 = 46, x2 = 80, y2 = 49}, 

    B = {x1 = 47, y1 = 28, x2 = 49, y2 = 36}, 

    C = {x1 = 39, y1 = 48, x2 = 47, y2 = 52}, 

    D = {x1 = 50, y1 = 58, x2 = 52, y2 = 63},

}

local currentPoint = "A"

local lapCount = 0

local DalaranID = 4395



SLASH_LAPCOUNT1 = "/lapcount"



lua

function SlashCmdList.LAPCOUNT(msg, editbox

    print(lapCount)

end

end



local function CheckPlayerPosition()

    local x, y = GetPlayerMapPosition("player")

    local mapId = GetCurrentMapAreaID()



    if mapId ~= DalaranID then

        return

    end



    if x >= points[currentPoint].x1 and x <= points[currentPoint].x2 and y >= points[currentPoint].y1 and y <= points[currentPoint].y2 then

        if currentPoint == "A" then

            currentPoint = "B"

        elseif currentPoint == "B" then

            currentPoint = "C"

        elseif currentPoint == "C" then

            currentPoint = "D"

        elseif currentPoint == "D" then

            currentPoint = "A"

            lapCount = lapCount + 1

        end

    end

end



local frame = CreateFrame("Frame")

frame:SetScript("OnUpdate", CheckPlayerPosition)

I have a problem with the output of information, the game does not register the command. Help me fix the code please. ty for attention:rolleyes:

I fixed the problems visible to the naked eye (no testing)
You need to enable Lua errors from interface options to even see what's happening.
There's no way that code even run.

The output is now working, at least 0 shows, thanks!:D But it does not count, and shows such script errors, the number of which is growing every second .. Can you tell me how to fix it? Thank you:rolleyes:

Code:

Message: ...ace\AddOns\DalaranLoopCounter\DalaranLoopCounter.lua:18: attempt to call field 'GetBestMapForUnit' (a nil value)

Time: 06/19/23 13:00:02

Stack: ...ace\AddOns\DalaranLoopCounter\DalaranLoopCounter.lua:18: in function <...ace\AddOns\DalaranLoopCounter\DalaranLoopCounter.lua:17>



Locals: (*temporary) = nil

(*temporary) = "player"

(*temporary) = "attempt to call field 'GetBestMapForUnit' (a nil value)"

DalaranID = 125

points = <table> {

 A = <table> {

 }

 D = <table> {

 }

 C = <table> {

 }

 B = <table> {

 }

}

currentPoint = "A"

lapCount = 0

Lines 17 and 18 are

Code:

local function CheckPlayerPosition()

    local mapId = C_Map.GetBestMapForUnit("player")

Ah.. well the only possible reason for that error is you're not playing on official servers.

Which means you can't get help on this forum.
