Goo misunderstating

[NeoTheFox]

Hi, I started making my game like a few weeks ago. I am having problems with goo buttons - I cant call onClick function, every time I tried external function I am having an "Attempt to index global 'button' (a nill value), and if I placing this function in my mainMenu() function, there all the buttons are creating it just don't work Help plz!
(and sorry if my english forces you to facepalm)

Goo buttons?

[NeoTheFox]

Yup, this lib - http://love2d.org/wiki/Goo

Like the Rules say: could you upload a .love of your project to the forum? Otherwise it will be hard or even impossible to help you.

Here you go

You don't seem to call goo.mousepressed()... I've never used goo but I guess you should add like

Code: Select all

function love.mousepressed(x,y,button)
    goo:mousepressed(x,y,button)
end

or something.

Thanks.

Hm, I can't reproduce the error you're getting. Could you say exactly what you do to get the error? And are you sure this is the exact same version that errors?

[NeoTheFox]

Thanks for replying

I want buttons to do something, so i am adding

Code: Select all

function exbutton:onClick(x, y, button)
    love.event.push("q")
end

to the bottom and TA DA - error
Am i doing it wrong? Because if i adding this function at the mainMenu it just does nothing

That function is defined in the global scope, which means Lua tries to create it before love.load has been run.
At this point, exbutton has not been created yet, and trying to create a new value in a table that doesn't exist results in an error.

Try moving function exbutton:onclick ... end to line 56.

At line 56 it does absolutely nothing, but the game starts normally
