Longtime weird LUA occurances

[Alienhead]

This has been happening awhile but I haven't came back to it yet because i havent needed to do anything like this until now.

Here is some the code:

                    --- Start the clouds
                        for t=1, self.layer1Amount do
                            uagc_clouds[t].mesh = self.layer1Cache[math.random(1,self.layer1TypeCount)]:Instantiate(world)
                            uagc_clouds[t].mesh = Model(uagc_clouds[t].mesh)
                            uagc_clouds[t].mesh:SetHidden(false)
                            uagc_clouds[t].mesh:SetPosition(player.entity:GetPosition())
                            uagc_clouds[t].mesh:SetPickMode(0)
                            local anum = math.random(self.minScale, self.maxScale)

                            uagc_clouds[t].mesh:SetScale(anum, anum, anum)
                            uagc_clouds[t].mesh:Translate(math.random(-self.maxDist,self.maxDist), math.random(self.minHeight,self.maxHeight), math.random(-self.maxDist,self.maxDist))
                            uagc_clouds[t].mesh:SetLodDistance(self.lod1, self.lod2, self.lod3)
                            uagc_clouds[t].speed = Random(self.maxSpeed/2, self.maxSpeed)
                        end


                  --->> Move the clous
			        for t=1, 40 do
			            uagc_clouds[t].mesh:Translate(0,0,1)   --- THIS LINE ERRORS OUT !, says uagc_clouds[t].mesh is nil when clearly the code above sghows it isnt.
        			end

How do you know that layer1Amount equals 40? That seems very odd to hard-code the array size.

You can use #uagc_clouds to get the array size.

Yah I saw that error as soon as I posted this message. Seems to be NO WAY to delete a topic anymore so I had to just leave it.
