Hello, I'm again trying to translate the Codeless Save Load System to Lua, but for some reason I'm not receiving the method of the metatable when I'm calling it, this is weird because I though if a table doesn't have a field, it will check to its metatable, basically I did this:
Lua:
---@return Savecode
function Savecode.create()
    local sc = setmetatable({}, Savecode)
    sc.digits = 0.
    sc.bigNum = BigNum.create(BASE())
    return sc
end
And I did this:
Lua:
local savecode = Savecode.create()
print(savecode.Encode)
it prints me nil, but if I do this:
Lua:
local savecode = Savecode.create()
print(getmetatable(savecode).Encode)
It prints me the function, what is happening?
