LÖVE

im trying to make a player movement system, however it keeps telling me that dt is a nil value... help?


function player.move(dt)
local x, y = nil, nil
if love.keyboard.isDown("up") then
y = player.y - player.speed * dt
elseif love.keyboard.isDown("down") then
y = player.y + player.speed * dt
end

if love.keyboard.isDown("left") then
x = player.x - player.speed * dt
elseif love.keyboard.isDown("right") then
x = player.x + player.speed * dt
end

end

Are you calling "player.move()" inside love.update? if so are you calling it with dt as the argument? If you're not calling it within love.update you can put "local dt = love.timer.getDelta()" at the top of player.move.
