Your code is pretty complex so I am not sure how to fix it exactly but I'm trying to trace your problem. When your new block (from the mouse click) is spawned and collides with the sensor, it triggers beginContact. You then have this code: msg_manager:send_message(b_name,a_name,{reason="c_start...

Sounds interesting! I would say concentrate on getting the input working first. You would have to essentially program a textbox from scratch which would be done using the love.keypressed() function. Each time a key is pressed you append it to a string and print the string on the screen. You would al...

Could be that you are executing several substring commands from within a nested loop. I imagine this would rack up a bit of processing power, especially if its parsing a large amount of text for each iteration.

Boolsheet is right. You don't need to use weld joints in your case. Try something like: self.body = love.physics.newBody(gameworld,self.x,self.y,"dynamic") self.shape = love.physics.newRectangleShape(32,64) self.fixture = love.physics.newFixture(self.body,self.shape,1) self.fixture:setUser...

No problem

i dont understand what you want to do...
When I press 'd' he moves right. When I press 'a' he comes to a stop and moves left.

Do you want to stop him from sliding?
this can be done by putting
in your update function.

Hey raen79, I found your problem. When you flip the lever you're changing lever_pressed==true which creates the platform body dynamically. Then... each time the love.updatemap() function is called, lever_pressed is still true and creates another platform body, and another... If you restrict this to ...

Hey. This solves the shivering problem. If you use love.graphics.translate to position your images/font instead... -- image love.graphics.push() love.graphics.translate(x,y) love.graphics.setColor ( 255, 255, 255, 255 ) love.graphics.draw ( img, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, img:getWidth() / 2, img:getHeight() / 2...

I have my camera zoomed by 0.3. And I have a GUI system, where I want to test if the player is clicking on 'v.text'. This is under love.mousepressed(x,y) so if I have.. if x > v.x and x < v.x + medium:getWidth(v.text) and y > v.y and y < v.y + medium:getHeight() then click the button end So, how wo...

Good question...I was wondering how box2d handles sleeping objects. I imagine even sleeping bodies must be checked, otherwise how would the program know. Maybe only the bounding box is checked? and if a collision is detected, a more in depth SAT is performed perhaps, and the body is woken! In my own...
