Nothing happens when I call function in other script/file?

[ziodice]

New error: [string "lev1.lua"]:10: bad argument #4 to 'circle' (number expected, got no value).
I must be REALLY bad at this...

[string "lev1.lua"]:10: bad argument #4 to'circle' (number expected, got no value).

It means that, in the file 'lev1.lua', at the 10th line, you didn't type the 4th argument of the 'circle' function... In other words, you tell LOVE where to draw the circle, but you don't tell it its radius

[ziodice]

Oh...I really should pay attention to how many arguments I have to put in. I made this mostly by combining tutorials, and I KIND of understand the code. Thank you!

[ziodice]

Uh...I put in

Code: Select all

objects.ball.shape:getRadius()

, but I still get the error

edit:
I even tried replacing that with an actual number, still get the error

[ziodice]

OKAY, so, I managed to stop all errors, but, upon pressing enter it just flashes. If it's clearing, then redrawing everything, that's bad. Because I want it to just draw back the ball and the ground. As far as I know, that's all I told it to do. When I call a function from another file, does it go back and run main again? I'm confused.

You might want to read love.run. It explains what happens when you run a game, what functions are called. (Hint: it's all in a big ol' loop.)

[ziodice]

Hmm, I can see how that might be a problem...any way for me to make it stay on the "lev1" file?

[Robin]

I don't think I understand your question. Could you clarify?

[coffee]

Are you using "requires" for loading different levels? Do you will "require" a lot of levels? IMHO I think it's a better tecnique use

Code: Select all

load_level = love.filesystem.load( wanted_level_file )
	run_level = load_level()

to pump the files and replace with new level data or new functions needed instead of require multiples levels files.

Um...I'm kind of new, so I'm not sure what to type to ACTIVATE those variables, if that's even what I'm supposed to do...
