Hey,

if you run these two commands:

/c game.player.gui.screen.add{type = "textfield", name = "test", text = 1}

/c game.player.gui.screen.test.text = 5

You get the error:

Cannot execute command. Error: (command): 1: bad argument #1 of 2 '__newindex' (string expected, got number)

But whats funny is, that when creating the element it accepts a number.

Greetz,

Luzifer

Rseding changed it so you have to be explicit, use tostring() on the number

[1.1.0/1.1.1] LuaGuiElement::text doesnt accept numbers
