main.lua:7: attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'getWidth' (a function value)

[dawdejw]

So, when i was making a game (well, a program anyway), this lovely message popped up:

Code: Select all

main.lua:7: attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'getWidth' (a function value)

This, is the line in question:

Code: Select all

scale = love.graphics.getWidth / 320

I don't know, am I dumb or what, but I couldn't find more about this error, so I'm asking - what the heck is wrong with this line? All I want to do is a simple division - to divide window width by 320, and I can't see anything wrong with that line. Also, I don't know should I post .love or not, but I'll include it anyway.

love.graphics.getWidth is a function. You need to call it to retrieve a value.

Code: Select all

love.graphics.getWidth()
