Removing items from table doesn't work

[fkinCURRY]

When the code runs, the cubes aren't disappearing after their ttl is larger than 100 (if it even counts)

Code: Select all

for i,v in ipairs(cubes.cube) do	
	if v.y < height - 20 then
		v.y = v.y + cubes.speed
	else
		if v.ttl > ttlg then
			table.remove(cubes.cube, i)
		end
	end
	v.ttl = v.ttl + 1	
end

When I moved the table.reomve() outside the if it did remove them but right after hitting the bottom.
I added the ttl variable so that they can stay there for a while (ttlg = 100) and when ttl > ttlg then it would remove it but it doesn't.
Tought that table.remove() might be the problem as people don't like this solution so i used cubes.cube = nil but that removed all of them.

The problem could also be in something else I'm just a beginner in both Lua and LÖVE.

(They were pictures of cubes before but replaced them with snowflakes since x-mas is getting closer)

Thanks for help in advance.

I downloaded your Attachment. To be honest, I couldn't see any Problem with "table.remove". For me (LOVE 11.2, 32bit), it works perfectly.

I replaced the Line where you print "Total" with...

Code: Select all

love.graphics.print("Total: " .. #cubes.cube, 1, height - 15)

... and it works, as far as I can tell^^... Snow is falling to the bottom, stays for a while and then it disappears...

If you want to remove elements during iteration, you have to iterate in reverse:

Code: Select all

for i=#cubes.cube, 1, -1 do
  local v = cubes.cube[i]

Otherwise you get "gaps" in the table.

Many thanks for the replies. It seems to be working properly now.
