Clicking to draw?

[Xoria]

No matter where I put this, when I place this, I click my thing doesn't appear. Why?

Code: Select all

-- In love.draw \/
function loadplanetEarth()
------planetEARTH !
---moon(s)*
love.graphics.draw(planetEarth.moon.image,planetEarth.moon.x+camera.x,planetEarth.y+camera.y, math.rad(planetEarth.angle),planetEarth.moon.width,planetEarth.moon.height,16,16)

--Earth*
love.graphics.draw(planetEarth.image,planetEarth.x+camera.x,planetEarth.y+camera.y, math.rad(planetEarth.angle),planetEarth.width,planetEarth.height,16,16)
end

--In love.update \/


if love.mouse.isDown("l") then
loadplanetEarth()
end

In love.update(), do:

Code: Select all

if love.mouse.isDown("l") then
     showEarth = true
end

And in love.draw():

Code: Select all

love.graphics.draw(planetEarth.moon.image,planetEarth.moon.x+camera.x,planetEarth.y+camera.y, math.rad(planetEarth.angle),planetEarth.moon.width,planetEarth.moon.height,16,16)
love.graphics.draw(planetEarth.image,planetEarth.x+camera.x,planetEarth.y+camera.y, math.rad(planetEarth.angle),planetEarth.width,planetEarth.height,16,16)

How is the 2nd code you gave affiliated to showEarth? Are you saying that I should do:

Code: Select all

If showEarth == true then
love.graphics.draw(planetEarth.moon.image,planetEarth.moon.x+camera.x,planetEarth.y+camera.y, math.rad(planetEarth.angle),planetEarth.moon.width,planetEarth.moon.height,16,16)
love.graphics.draw(planetEarth.image,planetEarth.x+camera.x,planetEarth.y+camera.y, math.rad(planetEarth.angle),planetEarth.width,planetEarth.height,16,16)
end

Why do I get an error report? It's like "'=' expected near showEarth".

I think if is case sensitive, you can't use If

[Robin]

Both right -- I forgot to surround it by if.

[Xoria]

Awesome. Worked. One more thing. How do you "destroy" the table if showEarth is false? I need to do this, because Earth is affiliated with lots of vars that count up while it's alive.

planetEarth = nil?
Anyway, I wanted to say that == true is useless, if a then is the same as if a == true then (for booleans, anyway).
