I've been trying to do this stuff for a while now...but no use. The only thing it shows when trying to import another module is:

lua/<import_module>.lua:4: attempt to index local '<export_module>' (a boolean value)

Any suggestions on how to fix this??

If it's not failing inside require, then your module is returning a boolean instead of something indexable. Most likely it returns nothing, in which case Lua defaults its return value to true.

_G.interf = {}

local testWindow = Window:new(-1, -1, 100, 100)

local currentY = 10

local box = function(px, py, length, breadth)

sim.createWallLine(px, py, px + breadth, py, 1)

sim.createWallLine(px, py, px, py + length, 1)

sim.createWallLine(px + breadth, py, px + breadth, py + length, 1)

sim.createWallLine(px, py + length, px + breadth, py + length, 1)

end

local wx, wy

local testTextbox1 = Textbox:new(10, currentY, (select(1, testWindow:size()) / 2) - 20, 16, "", "[place text here]")

testTextbox1:onTextChanged(

function(sender)

wx = tonumber(sender:text())

end

)

currentY = currentY + 20

local testTextbox2 = Textbox:new(10, currentY + 20, (select(1, testWindow:size()) / 2) - 20, 16, "", "[place text here]")

testTextbox2:onTextChanged(

function(sender)

wy = tonumber(sender:text())

end

)

local enter = Button:new(10, select(2, testWindow:size()) - 26, 100, 16, "Enter")

enter:action(function()

box(50, 50, wx, wy)

interface.closeWindow(testWindow)

end)

return interf

This is the code I'm tryina run, basically it's functions from another module which goes like this:

local interf = require "interface"

for key, value in pairs(interf) do

print(key .. value)

end

But prints nothing... :/

LBPHacker

"prints nothing" is not the same as "lua/.lua:4: attempt to index local '' (a boolean value)". Please try to be consistent. The code prints nothing because you put nothing in that table.

Also, please don't crap all over _G. Use a local and return it.
