E3033 error

@intrinsic used outside compiler-known modules

area: classes (x3xxx)
fails the build: yes

@intrinsic binds a declaration to behaviour built into the compiler, and is only for the compiler-known modules of the standard library. Remove it from your declarations. The same code with the message "unknown intrinsic" means the standard library asks for a newer compiler: update wowlua.

Example

× failswowlua

@intrinsic("events.event")declare function event(name: string): any

✓ compileswowlua

declare function event(name: string): any

The compiler reports it like this:

error[E3033]: `@intrinsic` is only for compiler-known modules (the standard library)
  ┌─ src/main.wowlua:1:1
