my own function call mystery

[Peter_EP]

I can’t understand why my own function calls fail:

function myLookup( input )
pp = input + 16
return  pp
end

then in another method call from a modulator:

value = myLookup( 21 )

when called I get this error

attempt to call method ‘myLookup’ (a nil value)

why is myLookup a nil value??

Tried your function and it works fine…
Using console(tostring(myLookup(13))) to check the result

>>> console(tostring(myLookup(13)))
29

Do you get this in the console?
Type the above at the bottom of the console window then press Enter
Your function can be anywhere (I mean in any compiled method).
