Getting ready to upload one of my new addons. but i cant work out this error

Interface\AddOns\Wult\Wult.lua:116: attempt to call global 'CancelDuel' (a boolean value)
Count: 1

Call Stack:
(tail call): ?
[C]: in function `CancelDuel'
Interface\AddOns\Wult\Wult.lua:116: in function <Interface\AddOns\Wult\Wult.lua:114>

if CancelDuel then
addon:RegisterEvent("DUEL_REQUESTED")

addon:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, challenger)
	if (not IsControlKeyDown()) then
		CancelDuel();
		DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Duel cancelled: "..challenger..". Press CTRL to allow the next request!",1,0.3,0.3);
		DoEmote("no",1);
     	end
   end)
end

Where is CancelDuel initialized? Ie. where is it first called and set to something?

you mean

CancelDuel = true

that i have at the top of the code

While I'm not a complete expert I might suggest changing it so that you do not have a global variable named "CancelDuel" and a global function named "CancelDuel". I'm pretty sure that is causing your problems.

Try renaming the function to "CancelDuelFunc" or something and see if that helps.

Isn't CancelDuel() a standard API call. Therefore it does/should not need to be initialized?

CancelDuel()

A rename should do it, CancelDuel is overwritten from a function variable to a boolean variable.

In WoW-Lua, it is absolutely possible to "hook" an API-function, and basically this is, what you're doing.

so like
if CancelDuelFunc then

so it dont effect or call the part of the code CancelDuel()

i have made the changes and i dont get any errors. but ive not been able to test it. as hard to find anyone who will duel me. to test it. i think addon builders should have a title hehe.
