How do i fix this syntax error i have?

[Memer]

I am trying to make a clicks per second test application and im having a syntax error with my code so could anyone help me??

function love.load()
local buttons = {}
local texts = {}

table.insert(buttons, newButton(
"Click Me!",
function()
print("Button.... Yes...")
end))
end --- Loads in the button so it can be drawn

function love.draw()
width = 140
height = 64
local ww = love.graphics.getWidth()
local wh = love.graphics.getHeight()
b_width = ww - (1/3)
b_height = 200
love.graphics.rectangle(
"fill",
(ww * 0.75) - (b_width * 0.85)
(wh * 0.6) - (b_height * 0.5))
end
end --- Draws the button

The error is

Syntax error: main.lua:62: ambiguous syntax (function call x new statement) near '('

Traceback

[love "callbacks.lua"]:228: in function 'handler'
[C]: at 0x7ffa46de31d0
[C]: in function 'require'
[C]: in function 'xpcall'
[C]: in function 'xpcall'

also just to know im new to love2d so i still dont really understand the code too much

So, you give us code snippet with 24 lines, but error happens on line 63?
Do you provided full source or what?

You're missing a comma to separate the arguments at the end of this line:

Code: Select all

(ww * 0.75) - (b_width * 0.85)

The error happens because Lua doesn't know if the following is what you actually meant (if we append the next line):

Code: Select all

(ww * 0.75) - (b_width * 0.85)(wh * 0.6) - (b_height * 0.5))
-- This looks like a call: (whatever)(wh * 0.6)

(Also, this is specifically a Lua error, not a LÖVE related error, just to be clear.)

Also for better readibility, you can put your code to [code] [/code] tags in the forums
