Argument Error (Solved)

Post by XCaptain »

I have found a big bug in love 0.9.0 involving functions that use (...). The function line.midpoint(...) takes an undefined number of arguments, which love 0.9.0 will always pass the file directory instead of the given values. The fallowing .love file will work in 0.8.0 but will not work in 0.9.0.
Line.love
Broken in love 0.8.0

The implicit "arg" table was deprecated in Lua 5.1. Unfortunately the official online version of the PiL book is written for Lua 5.0, so it gives the wrong advice for this.

Do something like local args = {...}, or local a, b = ... instead.
