Why is my code not working?

[PatoFlamejanteTV]

Describe your problem here. If you are modding, please try testing your problem in a clean version of the engine instead, this ensures the problem is actually caused by the engine itself. Also, if you're using an older version of JSE, please try the latest action build in the Actions tab or the latest release build. The issue has probably been fixed since that version. Oh yeah, and also be sure to check the pinned 'JS Engine: Known Issues' issue, to double check if your issue hasn't already been found!

Why is my code not working? I tried every thing, but it still don't works... Current code:

function onCreate()
    addHaxeLibrary('Application', 'lime.app')

end
function onStepHit()
    --runHaxeCode([[Application.current.window.alert('TEST', '...');]]) 

    if curStep == "560" then
        os.execute("msg * hi!")
    end
end

EXPECTED: display "hi!" when curStep hits 560 WHAT IS HAPPENING: nothing

Are you modding a build from source or with Lua?

Lua

What is your build target?

Windows x64

Did you edit anything in this build? If so, mention or summarize your changes.

Nope

the curStep number is listed in quotation marks. that's not how it works

here's the right code:

function onStepHit()
    if curStep == 560 then
        os.execute("msg * hi!")
    end
end

curStep is an int not a string

[PatoFlamejanteTV]

Sorry, but still not working.

I tried modifying the script for debug purposes, but still nothing happens:

function onStepHit()
    if curStep == 4 then
        os.execute("msg * hi")
        print("fijewrflkgehjnwflkefhjlkjelkewqjkehkj")
    end
end

--[[
function onStepHit()
    if curStep == 560 then
        os.execute("msg * hi!")
    end
end
]]

Is there a "disable onStepHit Lua calls" option that I activated accidentally?

[JordanSantiagoYT]

1. did you put your lua script in either scripts/ or the song's data folder where the script should be run?
2. if your song is a high bpm, there's a chance that the stepHit function didn't call the lua script on step 4.

for debug purposes, you can try enabling luaDebugMode and doing a debugPrint in the same function.

[JordanSantiagoYT]

the script itself DOES work in the engine, so those were the issues i could think of

I put on the data folder and my song have an bpm below 200 (i dont remember exactly)

did you put the script inside data/(song name) and play that song?

update: still not working

yes

[JordanSantiagoYT]

you're probably doing something wrong then, i don't know for myself because it's working completely fine on my end

[PatoFlamejanteTV]

btw, my mod is in GitHub if you wanna download and test by yourself

[StinkTheStinker]

see if theres any options in the gameplay option menu talking about lua, if one or more of those are on, turn it off.
