Help with Lua Error

[AkromaStrategy]

Hello,

There is this super cool addon called Glass that did a minimalistic chat ui.

side note: while typing this i noticed someone else has already put something up that i might use instead, but i'll ask my question anyways for fun.

while trying to fix it for dragonflight I got this error

I write java/scala at my day job so i'm not an expert at lua, but i was wondering if anyone could tell why this is getting a null pointer exception? Line 48 that it references is the line below of _G[self:GetName()..texName..'Left']:SetTexture()

local tabTexs = { '', 'Selected', 'Highlight' } local dropDown = _G[self.chatFrame:GetName().."TabDropDown"] for _, texName in ipairs(tabTexs) do _G[self:GetName()..texName..'Left']:SetTexture() _G[self:GetName()..texName..'Middle']:SetTexture() _G[self:GetName()..texName..'Right']:SetTexture() end
