My Function isn't activating, please help

[BigNoob]

I am trying to make a flappy bird replica but my "createrec" function does not seem to work... It is very possible that it is a different problem because as my name suggests, I am very bad.

This is the code:

function love.load()
love.physics.setMeter(64)

world = love.physics.newWorld(0, 9*64, true)

recs = {}
objects = {}

objects.ball = {}
objects.ball.body = love.physics.newBody(world, 650/2, 650/2, "dynamic")
objects.ball.shape = love.physics.newCircleShape(20)
objects.ball.fixture = love.physics.newFixture(objects.ball.body,
objects.ball.shape, 1)
objects.ball.fixture:setRestitution(0.9)


love.graphics.setBackgroundColor(0.41, 0.53, 0.97)
love.window.setMode(650, 650)
end


function love.update(dt)
world:update(dt)
end

function love.draw()

love.graphics.setColor(0.76, 0.18, 0.05)
love.graphics.circle("fill", objects.ball.body:getX(),
objects.ball.body:getY(), objects.ball.shape:getRadius())

for i,r in ipairs(recs) do
love.graphics.rectangle("line", r.x, r.Y, r.width, r.height)
end
end

function love.keypressed(key)
if key == "up" then
objects.ball.body:applyForce(0, -4000)
end

if key == "down" then
function createRecs()
end
end

function createRecs()
local rec = {}
rec.X = objects.ball.body:getX() + 300
rec.Y = love.math.random(200, 700)
rec.width = 50
rec.height = rec.Y
table.insert(recs, rec)
end
end

Thank you

What is the error and which line is it on?

This is the code:

  objects.ball.fixture = love.physics.newFixture(objects.ball.body,
                                                 objects.ball.shape, 1)

  if key == "down" then

   end

Thank you

Please use [code]...[/code] tags to format code, so that it's correctly formatted. I've added them for you in the quote above.

You have an unbalanced 'end', because you're defining createRecs() when you actually want to call it.

This part:

Code: Select all

  if key == "down" then 
   function createRecs()
  end

should actually be:

Code: Select all

  if key == "down" then 
   createRecs()
  end

Then everything is balanced like the indentation suggests, and one of the 'end's at the end should be removed.
