Creating new instances

[Roland_Yonaba]

Just getting a gray screen, is it working for you?

Are you not supposed to press key "e" to start spawning things ?

[Miken1]

Yes exactly but I only get a grey screen, also, nothing happens when I press E.

[Roland_Yonaba]

This .love is working fine for me. When pressing "e", it spawns a new object at the location where the mouse is.

Strange, it's working now but rest of my "game" is not drawing! like the player and stuff

[Roland_Yonaba]

In can see there's nested love.draw callbacks. It shouldn't.

Code: Select all

function love.draw()
  -- some code
  function love.draw()
    -- some other code
  end
  -- some code again
end

Remove the inner love.draw, and it should go well, like this:

Code: Select all

function love.draw()
  -- some code
  -- some other code
  -- some code again
end

Ah i see, all fixed up now!

This is the last question, promise.

I saw this guy on youtube and he is changing values while the program is running, how?

That's probably a bit advanced for you at the moment (no offense) but here's my guess.

I'm guessing that he's using [wiki]love.filesystem.getLastModified[/wiki] to detect changes on the file. If the date changes, he reloads the file in a string with [wiki]love.filesystem.read[/wiki] and since it's a shader, he just reapplies the shader. You will not be loading a shader, but lua code, so will probably want to use [wiki]love.filesystem.load[/wiki] instead of read.
