event.quit() [solved]

[drfractal]

OK I am maybe dumb but in my code:

Code: Select all

love.update() 
       stage.update()
....  ......

function stage.update()
  if love.keyboard.isDown("z")
        
        print("goodbye")
        love.event.quit()
  end
...

why if i click z key I get the message "goodbye" BUT love not exit the game?
Is something about the right placement for calling an event like quit or what?
thank you

It will only not quit if you have defined love.quit and it retuns something else than false or nil. In all other cases, it should quit. Not immediately though, it will quit after the next main loop iteration.

i only use that quit in a menu button that i copied from someone else tutorial (in this case it works):

Code: Select all

  table.insert( buttons, newButton(
    "close game",
    function()
      love.event.quit(0)
    end  ))

is it that the overwrite you are talking about?

No. It's something like this:

Code: Select all

function love.quit ( )
...
return true
end

It shouldn't return anything, or it may return nil or false, to actually quit. Returning anything else will cancel the quit.

well quit() is only in those two places in the entire project... I have to look for something else.

There are several other things that can cause this (like calling love.event.poll yourself, or causing a hang before the next frame, or overriding love.run wrongly) but it's very hard to say if you don't show the code.
