Issue is in popgen.lua. The trip is at line 27 (the line: populationMapData[y][x][#populationMapData[y][x] + 1] = popID ) but the culprit is down in populationGeneration() function.
If you collapse the plocY and plocX in populationGeneration() into a single 'location' variable, so that the function looks like this:
function populationGeneration(sex, age, parent1, parent2, location, familyName, children)
..there's no problem (except that everyone's last name is plocX). The tables get sorted properly and everyone is where they're supposed to be. But trying to separate them causes this crash for reasons I don't understand. Why doesn't populationSort() see location[1] and [2] when I change the setup of populationGeneration()?
Code: Select all
popStep = 0 -- simple state variable
population = {} -- master population table; only gets added to and modified; entries should NEVER be removed
populationMapView = {} -- used for displaying settlements
populationMapData = {} -- quick-access record for location-based sorting. directory of every person in a tile.
