"attempt to compare number with nil" syntax error

Post by boobeebah13 »

this is really annoying, I was setting up my camera movement, but when i tried to run the game it came up with a syntax error saying [refer to title] the only problem is that there is nothing wrong with the syntax in my code, well i don't think so at least,

The programming language is always right, especially when saying that you made a mistake :p

Code: Select all

	if player.x > love.graphics.getWidth() / 2 then
		camera.x = player.x - love.graphics.getWidth() / 2
		end
		
	if player.y > love.graphics.getWidth() / 2 then
		camera.y = player.y - love.graphics.getWidth() / 2
		end
you dont have player.x and player.y declared as variables.. you need to use px and py instead.
