You have to require love.filesystem (and any other love modules you might want to use) in the thread's code.Whatthefuck wrote:Is there any way to load .lua files in threads? I tried doing require "filename", but it errors out in the thread.
MiddleClass-Commons is an extension to middleclass, not a replacement. So you first require middleclass however you would normally, and then you require middleclass-commons after, and the latter only needs to be done once.murks wrote:Well, ok, it's just that in the middleclass examples it is assigned to a local variable
Code: Select all
int add(int& num1, int num2){
num1 += num2
return num1
}
void main(){
int x = 10
add(x, 5)
std::cout << x << std::endl;
}
Code: Select all
Banana = "fruit"
pantry = {}
pantry.orange = banana --believe it or not, logic does apply here
function rotfood()
pantry.orange = "rotten"
end
As I told you, middleclass-commons doesn't return anything, so don't assign it to anything.murks wrote:But how would I go about requiring middleclass-commons after I required middleclass to a local variable?
Require middleclass-comons to another local variable? To the same? I doubt that any of that would work.
Code: Select all
Banana = { "Fruit" }
pantry = { }
pantry.orange = Banana
function rotfood()
pantry.orange[1] = "rotten" -- remember that pantry.ornage is now the table { "Fruit" }, not just a string.
end
-- Banana is now { "rotten" }

Thanks Robin, that makes it a bit clearer. I wonder why middleclass-commons isn't part of middleclass in the first place as it is only a couple of lines.Robin wrote:murks wrote:But how would I go about requiring middleclass-commons after I required middleclass to a local variable?
Require middleclass-comons to another local variable? To the same? I doubt that any of that would work.The thing is, you don't need to use MiddleClass-Commons, you just need to make it available for other libraries that you're using. It creates a specific global variable that lets other libraries know it's there, but you don't need to do anything else with it.Code: Select all
local class = require 'middleclass' require 'middleclass-commons' -- just use class
