Calling a previous file

[Lekic]

Hello,am trying to run another .lua file but it keeps calling the previous one inside the same folder.what can i do so it stop calling the first one?

Löve will always call your "main.lua" file. If you want to call code inside another file you need to require it.
Below is an example (that assumes you want to reach the shape.lua file).

Code: Select all

require("shape") 

function love.load()
end

function love.update(dt)
end

function love.draw()
end

More details here: https://love2d.org/wiki/require

If you are really new to Löve and lua in general, then I would suggest looking up tutorials. I have a youtube tutorial series that I link in my signature. If you prefer a written tutorial I highly recommend Sheepolutions free online book.

It's a little problem of Android, you can't use different folders, you're limited to the lovegame folder, or to using .love files. Here's what you can do:

To run several different Lua files in Android, I suggest you have a file called main.lua which only requires the file you want to run and does nothing else. For example, if you want to run shape.lua instead of main.lua, create a main.lua with this content:

Code: Select all

require 'shape'

If you later want to run something.lua instead of shape.lua, you edit main.lua and change 'shape' to 'something'.
