Code: Select all
function load.love()
love.graphics.setMode(800, 600, false, false, 0)
end
function love.update(dt)
if love.keyboard.isDown("a") then
dofile("main2.lua")
end
endrunning a file every time a key is pressed is a bad idea. Have the file return a function, then require the file and run iits function on key press.Wombat wrote:is it possible that i have to give the full path, when i want to load a data with dofile().
For me, dofile("file.lua") doesn´t work, it says: "no such file or directory".
Here´s my code:Code: Select all
function load.love() love.graphics.setMode(800, 600, false, false, 0) end function love.update(dt) if love.keyboard.isDown("a") then dofile("main2.lua") end end
Code: Select all
local importedfunc = require "myfile"
importedfunc()
Code: Select all
local func = love.filesystem.load("somefile.lua")
if func then -- no syntax errors
func()
endI did like you´ve said but it don´t work. Nothing happensOh yeah, you shouldn't use dofile().
While require is usually what you need, in exceptional cases you will want to use love.filesystem.load, like this:
Code: Select all
local func = love.filesystem.load("somefile.lua") if func then -- no syntax errors func() end
.That should work. Where are the files placed? If you're running a folder, the file has to be either in the folder or in the write directory. If you're running a .love-file, it has to be inside the .love file or in the write directory.Wombat wrote:I did like you´ve said but it don´t work. Nothing happensOh yeah, you shouldn't use dofile().
