Love Editor [I need help!]

[Roland_Yonaba]

But I don't know Lua and Love so good to do it at one, for example I don't know how to make file saving. And I think what isn't if I call help

Well, this have been discussed a lot of times around. You can try the search button.
Basically, you can use Lua IO. See Pil, this a free online book, to learn Lua. File IO is discussed here.
Also - and this is recommended with Löve, as far as I know - you can use love.filesystem (which have some limitations).

Try to avoid double posting. Instead, edit your last post. (Unless of course the topic's fallen off the first page, which generally takes a few days.)

Maybe this can help you.

It is a small part of the "save game" algorithm in a project I'm developing:

Code: Select all

local savePlayer = nil
	
savePlayer = "player.x = " .. player.x
savePlayer = savePlayer .. "\nplayer.y = " .. player.y
	
savePlayer = savePlayer .. "\nplayer.level = " .. player.level
savePlayer = savePlayer .. "\nplayer.expToLevel = " .. player.expToLevel
savePlayer = savePlayer .. "\nplayer.exp = " .. player.exp
savePlayer = savePlayer .. "\nplayer.selectedWeapon = " .. player.selectedWeapon
	
savePlayer = savePlayer .. "\nplayer.maxHealth = " .. player.maxHealth
savePlayer = savePlayer .. "\nplayer.health = " .. player.health
	
success = love.filesystem.write("player.save", savePlayer)

Basically what it does is to save game variables as a string plus the variable value. (plus = concatenation, not math operation)
Then write it to HDD using love.filesystem.

Next, when you load the saved file, LÖVE will execute everything as if it were a normal Lua module.

You can do it like this:

Code: Select all

ok, chunk = pcall(love.filesystem.load, "player.save" )

chunk()

If you read the LÖVE wiki you will see that loading the file only with love.filesystem.load WILL NOT execute it's contents.
You need to call it manually, that is because in the example I added a chunk() statement because without it, chunk will only be a variable with some values assigned (the values you saved into the file previously)

Ubermann, thanks, I think it will be very helpful (or useful I don't know )
