Error claims a value is nil, which makes no sense

All I can say then, it doesn't show error screen unless there is an error. There is a nil in your tables somewhere. There is always nil past the range, and there could be one in the middle.

Code: Select all

for i = 1, 20 do
    table.insert(rX, love.math.random(100, 110))
    table.insert(rY, love.math.random(100, 110))
    table.insert(rS, love.math.random(1, 20))
  end

this is all the code that generates the tables so I dont see how there could be a nil in there. This is absolutley baffling to me

I did a super basic test and it only errors after removing some table elements by attempting to index an out of range element, as I said. Because of the way your loop works, there's no way to set it up so it wouldn't crash. You will need to either manually check if the value is nil every time, or use an algorithm that doesn't involves deleting elements mid-loop.

maybe i could just make an array that marks each table element to remove then do it after the loop finishes?

You could do that, yes.
