expected number, got nil

[Djent]

I'm making a simple simulation, rewriting an old version because mainly my old code was junk even though it worked. Right now, I've just programmed food splotches to appear on the ground.

My problem is that love.draw() seems to get called in the middle of making the x and y coordinates for the splotches, resulting in the x coordinate being created, but not the y. Again, I'm not exactly sure that is what's happening, but it's the only way I can seem to explain it.

Here's the .love and main.lua and food.lua. Right click to crash and see the error message.

agents.lua not here

agents.lua not here

Neither is path.lua, but that doesn't really matter. No functions are called from agents or path. LOVE didn't throw me any errors about missing either of those files, but you could just create two empty files of the same name if you wanted to try that.

You HAVE to have a lua file if you're going to require it. Even if you won't use it's functions.

Well I added the lua files for you guys, and it still doesn't work, so if we could get back to the original problem, that would be great.

First off all, the other guys asked for the missing .lua files, because they are needed to reproduce your error.

And here is your solution:
You made a typo in line 44 in food.lua

Code: Select all

	yposition = ypos,

is incorrect. The correct line is this (with a capital P)

Code: Select all

	yposition = yPos,

Wow, thanks. The SciTE editor font makes 'p' and 'P' look almost exactly the same.

I recommend notepad++ for programming editing, you can select multiple locations to type among other features, it's only for windows though
