Error

[israphel22]

I'm getting an error that says:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
grapics.lua:1265: bad argument #3 to 'print1' (number expected, got string)


Traceback

[C]: in function 'print1'
graphics.lua:1265: in function 'print'
menu.lua:12: in function 'button_draw'
main.lua:30: in function 'draw'
[C]: in function 'xpcall'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'll post my code for menu.lua and main.lua here:


main.lua
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
require "player"
require "map"
require "menu"

function love.load()

medium = love.graphics.newFont(45)

love.graphics.setBackgroundColor(0,255,0)

base = 550

gamestate = "menu"

-- Buttons
button_spawn(10,50,"Start")

-- Loading
player.load()
end

function love.update(dt)
UPDATE(dt)
MAP_UPDATE()
end

function love.draw()
DRAW()
if gamestate == "menu" then
button_draw()
end
end

function love.keypressed(key, unicode)

end

function love.keyreleased(key)

end
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and menu.lua
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

button = {}

function button_spawn(x,y,text)
table.insert(button, {x = x,y = y,text = text})
end
function button_draw()
for i,v in ipairs(button) do
love.graphics.setColor(0,0,0)
love.graphics.setFont(medium)
love.graphics.print(v.x,v.y,v.text)
end
end
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everything was working until I made/tried to make a table.
I don't know what's wrong and if you do please help me.

Thanks

Welcome.
The solution: change

Code: Select all

	love.graphics.print(v.x,v.y,v.text)

to

Code: Select all

	love.graphics.print(v.text, v.x, v.y)

Could you if you have another problem in the future please upload a .love of your game as an attachment? That way we can help you much better than a dump of text in a forum post.

Please choose a more specific post title in the future. "Error" is unhelpful and confusing.

Also, this is the wrong forum (General), you should have posted it in Support & Development. On that forum is also a sticky topic with forum rules. Please read those before asking for help again. This sound a bit harsh, maybe, but in that way we can help you much better.

Please use the code tags. It is very hard to read code when it's not formatted. (Beaten lololzors)

Your problem is right where the error tells you. Line 12 of menu.lua. You put the X and Y first before the string to print. The string should be first.

Code: Select all

love.graphics.print(v.x,v.y,v.text)

Should be:

Code: Select all

love.graphics.print(v.text,v.x,v.y)

Error screens are not just unhelpful gibberish. They tell you exactly where your error is occurring and where you should start. In this case the error is in your print call. Ignore the first part about "graphics.lua" as that's an internal file, just follow the trace downwards until you get to a file you actually made. In this case, menu.lua. Line 12. The love.graphics.print call.

You should hopefully be using a text editor that has line numbers as it will make it much easier to debug code when errors happen.
