Bad argument

[iPot]

Hey all,

I got this error bad argument in line 3. Can anyone help me?

Just started today with LUA

function GiveMoney( thePlayer, reward, receiver ) 
        if ( receiver ) and ( receiver ~= thePlayer ) then  
            givePlayerMoney ( receiver, 10000 ) 
        else  
            outputChatBox("Syntax error: /reward <receiver>", thePlayer, 255, 0, 34, false )         
        end 
end 
addCommandHandler( "reward", GiveMoney )

Receiver is either a string or nil, givePlayerMoney takes a player element. use getPlayerFromNick.

function GiveMoney( thePlayer, reward, receiverName ) 
        local receiver = getPlayerFromNick(receiverName) 
        if ( receiver ) and ( receiver ~= thePlayer ) then  
            givePlayerMoney ( receiver, 10000 ) 
        else  
            outputChatBox("Syntax error: /reward <receiver>", thePlayer, 255, 0, 34, false )         
        end 
end 
addCommandHandler( "reward", GiveMoney )
