Computronics particle card trouble

[nnystyxx 0]

I'm attempting to spawn particles with the Particle Effects Card from Computronics. In the lua interpreter, I have tried a number of different approaches to inputting the arguments, but I always get the same error.

 

=component.particle.spawn
function(name:string, xCoord:number, yCoord:number, zCoord:number [, defaultVelo:number]):boolean; function(name:string, xCoord:number, yCoord:number, zCoord:number [, xVelo:number, yVelo:number, zVelo:number ]):boolean; Spawns a particle effect at the specified relative coordinates optionally with the specified velocity

Here's the component and command.

component.particle.spawn(minecraft:barrier xCoord:3)
stdin:1: function arguments expected near 'xCoord'

component.particle.spawn(minecraft:barrier, 1, 1, 1)
stdin:1: function arguments expected near ,

And here's what happens when I attempt to actually use the command. Anything coming after the particle identifier gives me that 'function arguments expected near' error. Is this a problem on my end? Can the interpreter not be used for this? Or is there a glitch with the card itself?

That's because you're missing " before and after the string. Instead of just minecraft:barrier, you need to use "minecraft:barrier".

Also I'm pretty sure you don't need that minecraft: at the start of the particle name.

component.particle.spawn("barrier", 1, 1, 1)

That's exactly what it is, thank you. It was returning it as nil without the minecraft: part, but without it and with quotes it works perfectly. Thanks a bunch!
