What does this .lua error mean?

As part of a competition I've entered I'm using one of the modpack bodies; more specifically the 60's supercar body (Le Mans racer style). After submitting the car, the recipient got this .lua error when they tried to open my file...

---------------------------
Lua Error:
---------------------------
tolua++ dbcall failed!: [string "--client\functional\CarView.lua..."]:2759: attempt to index local 'headLightInfo' (a nil value)

You can CTRL+C on this to report it.
---------------------------
Aceptar
---------------------------

I didn't use a modded headlight so I'm confused as to what's going on here... Any help'd be really appreciated as I'll be disqualified if I can't get my .lua reliable! :shock:

Re: What does this .lua error mean?

Does the recipient of the file have the headlight that is used? Could they have possibly deleted it while installing mods?

Do you mind posting the model file here (with a random engine and random settings, so you don't give up your racing secrets) so we can see if it happens to everyone?

I need to write better mod support soon.

Jakgoe is right, that the error like the person is missing the headlight used.

Re: What does this .lua error mean?

Even after submitting a design with no headlights the car just won't load.... *sigh*

I have been allowed to submit a different body so I'm waiting on the results of that soon :)

BTW: It turns out that my original car wasn't THAT well setup as my alternate car handily beats it over the same course... So I probably shouldn't be too proud of my cars performance! :D
