Hello I have an error that i dont understand.
I'm developing a GUI and I have a problem when I try to pass a filename as a parameter.

I wrote my function like this:

Code: Select all

GUI.addCheckbox(px,py,pw,ph,pcolor,pborderSize,pborderColor,pshape,ptext,pfont,ptextsize)
        local cb ={}
        ....
        cb.text = {}
        cb.text.font = love.graphics.newFont(pfont, ptextsize)

And I call like this.

Code: Select all

...
 MyGUI.addCheckbox(10 + elements[j].x + i*40, elements[j].y + 10,30,40,colWHITE,2,colBLACK,"roundrect", i+2, "font/arl.ttf", 24)

When I call my function I get this error message

Code: Select all

Error: bad argument #1 to '?' (filename, File, or FileData expected)
stack traceback:
    [love "boot.lua"]:345: in function <[love "boot.lua"]:341>
    [C]: at 0x7ff9b1d52630
    [C]: in function 'newFont'
    GUI.lua:39: in function 'addCheckbox'
    main.lua:21: in function 'load'
    [love "callbacks.lua"]:136: in function <[love "callbacks.lua"]:135>
    [C]: in function 'xpcall'
    [love "boot.lua"]:361: in function <[love "boot.lua"]:348>
    [C]: in function 'xpcall'
Process exited with code 1

Whereas if I write this in my function it works:

Code: Select all

cb.text.font = love.graphics.newFont("font/arl.ttf", ptextsize)

Can you help me please ?

Of course I can not put my text in hard.

Looking at the stack traceback, the error is happening somewhere in newFont(). In the addCheckbox function, print all the arguments to see what they actually are - pfont must have the wrong value.

I've solved the problem, i had another call to my fonction that return nil for pfont.
Thanks at all.
