I am sorry but you will have to give me a little more than that.
- What did you expect to happen, where?
- What has happened instead?
- What have you tried?

1. I expected the screen to shake.
2. An error.
3. Asking you, since I don't know anything about cron.lua.

I am sorry but I don't have time to dig through your code right now - especially with so little direction. Perhaps others in the community will want to step in.

I don't think the problem lies with cron. I suspect it's a defective shake function. Have you tried testing to make sure the shake works by itself? Attach it to a key press for testing.

Is it possible to get access to dt in the callback function? When I look at the code, only args are passed, but not dt.

What would dt be in the context of a cron callback? Wouldn't it just be the interval that you specified?

The callback is invoked after many dts. Which one would you pass to the callback? The last one?

Yes, the last one.

Are you wanting to pass dt through so it can be used by the function that is being triggered by the cron?

You can use a table to hold a reference to it then. For example, a player table:
Code: Select all
local clock = cron.after(5, function()
print(player.last_dt)
end)
...
function love.update(dt)
player.last_dt = dt
clock:update(dt)
end
The only other option I can think of is overriding clock.update yourself to use dt.
