Authors CurseForge

it is this row in localization.lua
L["is safe."] = "ist wieder sicher.",

I feel crazy but i can t find the bug
Bugsack says in Localization.lua:16 unexpected symbol near '='
and in BattleGrounds.lua:6 attempt to index local 'L' (a nil value) and
BattleGrounds.lua:6 in main chunk

I have made all other suggestion that you told me too but i dont know how it works until i have solved this issue.

i uploaded my files here

Hi
I want too thank you for helping me out.

My BattleGrounds.lua file is used by BattleGrounds.xml when i click an icon in the Frame. Soo i was thinking if my <OnClick> event goes direct too that function in code and not read whole BattleGrounds.lua file. Then i maybe have too put code in BattleGrounds.xml. Can i put it in the beginning (1 time) or in <OnLoad> then i have to do it 4 times. I have 4 frames that load different depends on what bg you enter.

I will send you all files too

a noobish question
should i replace ADDON_NAME with name of addon or with filename where i use it and should i have any ".lua" extension and should it then all be capitals or is it good as it is?

Hi
i made changes following that guide but i cant get it work
"attempt to index local 'L' (a nil value)"

....

and main file is BGCallouts.lua but there is no code writing to chat there.

I try use a metatable as a language selector for my addon. I have tried alot and i am stuck. I dont really understand this with metatable. However on row 118 i think i try to print out and it fails.
ex self:Print(L.[" Blacksmith"])
i want it to print out " Schmeide". Can you see what i messed up with in this addon?

sry i meant this.
BGCallouts.func = function(self, msg)

solved
i used
BGCallouts.func = function(msg)
and for call
BGCallouts:func(GetZoneText)

I solved it thansks for all help

I have made a lot of changes and now i get error
attempt to call method 'BGCallouts_func' (a nil value)
If i get it right the function cant be found so i must have made a fail in how to declare the function i guess . Can i get a hint what i missed and why function has a nil value?

function BGCallouts:ZONE_CHANGED_NEW_AREA()
self:BGCallouts_func(GetZoneText()) -- error
end

....

local function BGCallouts_func(msg)
-- BGCallouts:Print(msg)
if (msg=="Arathi Basin") then
ArathiBasin:Show(true)
elseif (msg=="Deepwind Gorge") then
DeepwindGorge:Show(true)
elseif (msg=="The Battle for Gilneas") then
Gilneas:Show(true)
elseif (msg=="Eye of the Storm") then
EotStorm:Show(true)
else
self:BGCallouts_hide()
end
return
end
