5 isn't a userdata. It's a number. You should access it as a number. (You
might want to supply it as a hexstring, too, though.)

Userdata's are objects created within C, opaque to Lua. You cannot create a
userdata in Lua.

touserdata returns null if the indicated object is not a userdata, which it
isn't.

Hope that helps.
