DrVrej / VJ-Base

We've been getting this serverside Lua error pretty frequently, doesn't seem like a big issue but it's been going on for a while so i might as well report it. I do not know how to replicate it.

[ERROR] lua/vj_base/npc_schedules.lua:155: attempt to call method 'VJ_TASK_IDLE_STAND' (a nil value)
  1. RunCode_OnFail - lua/entities/npc_vj_creature_base/init.lua:1451
    2. DoRunCode_OnFail - lua/vj_base/npc_schedules.lua:143
      3.  - lua/vj_base/npc_schedules.lua:155

This bug has been present for a while, it's harmless. Basically Lua is failing to recognize the function at random instances. I have found no way of replicating this, making it extremely difficult to fix (if even possible).

It's only being set when doLOSChase is false, otherwise it's being skipped (i think)

VJ-Base/lua/vj_base/npc_schedules.lua

Line 156 in 6344186

if self:DoRunCode_OnFail(curSchedule) == true then

Could be simplified to make sure the error doesn't happen anymore

Setting that there won't change anything, the issue is that Lua thinks self:VJ_TASK_IDLE_STAND() is nil, a check like this could possibly solve it:

task_chaseEnemy.RunCode_OnFail = function() if self.VJ_TASK_IDLE_STAND then self:VJ_TASK_IDLE_STAND() end end

But this is an ugly solution

Added fail safe in d9881b0, hopefully this will fix it
