Bullet's won't move...[RESOLVED]

[WolfNinja2]

They do spawn, but then they don't want to move, here's my code.
I'M A BIG NEWBIE NEWB!
I forgot to add direction in the table xD
Thanks Guys!

Code: Select all

bullet = {}

function bulletspawn(x,y,direction)
	table.insert(bullet,{x = x,y = y, w = 4, h = 2,speed = 120}) -- REALLY BRO, NO DIRECTION IN THERE? DO YOU EVEN LIFT BRUH?
end

function bulletshoot(key)
	if key == "d" then
	bulletspawn(player.x + (player.w/2),player.y + (player.h/2),"right")
	elseif key == "a" then
	bulletspawn(player.x + (player.w/2),player.y + (player.h/2),"left")
	end
end

function bulletupdate(dt)
	for i,v in ipairs(bullet) do
   if v.direction == "right" then
      v.x = v.x + v.speed * dt
   end
   if v.direction == "left" then
     v.x = v.x - v.speed * dt
		end
	end
end

function bulletdraw()
	for i,v in ipairs(bullet) do
		g.setColor(255,255,255,255)
		g.rectangle("fill",v.x,v.y ,v.w,v.h)
		end
end



function bulletremove()
	if v.x < 0 or
	v.x < g.getWidth() == 20 then
	table.remove(bullet)
	end
end

Hope you all can help!

When you insert into the table bullet you have direction in the function arguments, but you don't actually put that into the table you're inserting. It should be this:

Code: Select all

function bulletspawn(x,y,directionarg)
   table.insert(bullet,{x = x,y = y, w = 4, h = 2,speed = 120, direction = directionarg})
end

(I changed it to directionarg because I don't think direction = direction would work)

Anyway it wasn't working because v.direction equaled nil rather than left or right.

"direction = direction" would work, but more clarity never hurts.

All I needed to do was have direction = direction in the table. Newbie mistake
