anim8

Post by CleoCommunist »

Hi,
I am a new developer with no experience.
While trying to make my first game, following a tutorial, this error popped up when i tried to load anim8 library.
I have put the correct path in the require section.
Can somebody help?
Thanks a lot.
(Here is the error Love gives me) (attached is the game folder)

Error

Use "libs.anim8" instead of "libs/anim8.lua"

require() should use dots for directories, not slashes, and the extension should be left out.

Hi again,
Sorry for the inconvenience.
I was continuing that project, and after solving another error it gave me by myself, i found another that i really couldn't solve.
It is really vague for me, i know where it is and normally can solve it by changing some punctures or capital letters.
Sorry for being stupid and new here.
Here is the error:
Error

main.lua:21: bad argument #1 to 'getWidth' (Texture expected, got no value)

The problem is that you used player.spritesheet.getWidth() (with a period) instead of player.spritesheet:getWidth() (with a colon).

To understand why you get that message, you have to know that when using a colon, the object before the colon (in this case player.spritesheet) is passed as an implicit first argument to the function (in this case, getWidth). The function expects the first argument to be the object to apply it to, but it finds that there's no first argument (which is what happens when you pass an empty argument list while not using a colon). Hence the error you got.
