How to make Quads

[crystalheartstudios]

Alright, well I am currently following https://github.com/kikito/love-tile-tut ... and-images <----- this guide. I am attempting to make a tile based game, but I am having trouble getting the quads to work.

My code is as follows:

Code: Select all

function love.load()
  
  Tileset = love.graphics.newImage('countryside.png')
  
  local tileW = 32
  local tileH = 32
  local tilesetW = Tileset:getWidth()
  local tilesetH = Tileset:getHeight()
  
  GrassQuad = love.graphics.newQuad(0,  0, tileW, tileH, tilesetW, tilesetH)
  BoxQuad = love.graphics.newQuad(32,  0, tileW, tileH, tilesetW, tilesetH)

end

function love.draw()
  love.graphics.draw(Tileset, GrassQuad, 368, 268)
  love.graphics.draw(Tileset, GrassQuad, 400, 268)
  love.graphics.draw(Tileset, GrassQuad, 432, 268)
  love.graphics.draw(Tileset, GrassQuad, 368, 300)
  love.graphics.draw(Tileset, BoxQuad  , 400, 300)
  love.graphics.draw(Tileset, GrassQuad, 432, 300)
  love.graphics.draw(Tileset, GrassQuad, 368, 332)
  love.graphics.draw(Tileset, GrassQuad, 400, 332)
  love.graphics.draw(Tileset, GrassQuad, 432, 332)
end

However when I execute it I recieve the following error:

Code: Select all

main.lua: 16 bad argument #2 to 'draw' (number expected, got userdata)

Traceback

[C]: in function 'draw'
main.lua:16: in function 'draw'
[C]: in function 'xpcall'

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Hi, I made that tutorial that you are following

The error you are getting suggests that you are using an older version of LÖVE. Try uninstalling what you have, downloading a new version from the website, and installing that instead.

You're probably using LÖVE 0.8.0. In 0.9.x, Quads are used in love.graphics.draw and are optional, which is great, but before this version quads could only be used with love.graphics.drawq. Drawing things with no quads used love.graphics.draw.

So you can either change all the functions that use quads to "love.graphics.drawq" or use a more recent version of LÖVE
