Hello, im fooling around and playing around with some lua scripting for the first time.

But i have a small problem.
Im making like a short cutscene with text boxes but for some reason it wont work.

This is my problem, seem to work on my other script i tried. but now i get "nil value" for getPlayerDistance
This is my first script im making from scratch.

all the panels and text positions are random right now, just want this to work and then tewaking can start.
Anyone have a clue?

GetPlayerDistance

Lua is case sensitive.

Btw you can put all your text in a table like this:

A couple of enhancements I can think of, 1) Have the panel sized automatically to fit the size of the string and 2) If the string is greater than a certain size split it over two lines.

Have fun.
