Using the custom type below I only get an error when I try to set the value. Even after adding in the prints.

Quote:
Error:attempt to call a number value

Code:

local TypeName = 'Military Hours'
local ByteCount = 4
local IsFloat = true

local function bytesToValue( ... )
   local bytes = { ... }
   return ((byteTableToDword({ bytes[1], bytes[2], bytes[3], bytes[4] }) / (60 * 60)) * 100)
end
local function valueToBytes(value)
   ----
   print('valueToBytes')
   print(type(value), tostring(value))
   ----
   local bytes = dwordToByteTable((value * (60 * 60)) / 100)
   return bytes[1], bytes[2], bytes[3], bytes[4]
end

registerCustomTypeLua(TypeName, ByteCount, bytesToValue, valueToBytes, IsFloat)

It's a CE bug. DB added an address parameter to valueToBytes and bytesToValue a while ago. In TCustomType.ConvertFloatToDataLua, the pcall to valueToBytes says there's one parameter when there's actually two. Ask DB to fix it.

In the meantime, use assembly.

Also, you're treating a float as an integer (probably not intended), but I'm sure you can figure out how to fix that.

I see. Thank you.

It's an integer but I like CE to display it with decimal points (for the seconds), I did try it with the "isFloat" set to false but got the same error.

EDIT:
I guess I DIDN't try it with the "isFloat" set to false because I just tried it again and that works.
