Code: Select all

function class()

  cls.__index = cls
  return setmetatable(cls, {__call = function (c, ...)
    instance = setmetatable({}, cls)
    if cls.__init then
      cls.__init(instance, ...)
    end
    return instance
  end})
end

player = class()

function player:__init()
  self.x = 320
  self.y = 240
  self.hspeed = 0
  self.vspeed = 0
  self.hp = 0
end

function player:update()
  self.x = self.x + self.hspeed
  self.y = self.y + self.vspeed
  self.vspeed = 0
  self.hspeed = 0
end

p = player()

function love.update(dt)
  p:update()
end
I've created a test folder in the same folder where love.exe lives, and put the above code in a main.lua file inside test. I'm then able to run it fine by either dragging test over love.exe or via the command line: love test.
but when i call this function:

Code: Select all

function cCake:MoveDown()
	self.y = self.y+1
end
by doing this:

Code: Select all

oCake:MoveDown()
i get an error.

Wasn't your constructor method called __init (with underscores)?

Also, for future posts: If you say "I get an error" it's very difficult to know what happens. It's better saying "I get the following error:" and paste the error message after it on a [ code ] [ /code ] section.
When I write def I mean function.

Can you post a .love file we can use to reproduce the problem?

Also, you're creating a global called "instance". This does not seem to have been fixed by anyone. Not the most important of your issues, but still.

init() is not called on your class system, but __init() is, which is why it doesn't work. Change either one in the other, and it should work.
Help us help you: attach a .love.

are you even listening?
i changed libary os now its init()

Code: Select all

function class:new(...)
    local c = {}
    c.__baseclass = self
    setmetatable(c, getmetatable(self))
    if c.init then <--------
        c:init(...) <---------
    end
    return c
end

What about you, are you listening? I've asked if you could post a .love file that reproduces the problem and you didn't even answer.

You won't get much help with this kind of attitude.
