You did awesome well. We community should be punished for being slow answering at your stuff. Please next time also post the time limit you willing to wait. You should trust no one because your code is probably too precious and too advanced to be handled to us. "sigh"

About your problem itself it's more lack of LOVE/Lua principles/basics knowledge, lack of willing to learn by yourself or lazyness in search forum. The time you got bored waiting, some other beginner coder would learn how to do it searching forum or checking wiki (or learning a bit more Lua).

Since attachment (here and in your original thread) gone I can't directly help in your code, so can you at least manage to learn watching a similar basic engine?
Well, see this very basic example from here viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5764&p=43677#p43687 (kudos to authors!) that I altered quickly to be able to delete too with right-click.

Also have a chance to watch how blocks are kept in this engine. Notice that is map[x][y] oriented so it's easier to process and print blocks instead of your block[number] = X,Y style with the inconveniences that I discussed in original dungeoneers thread.

This is the (clumsy altered) magic part for you that get mouse postion, translate to x,y map coordinates (with your system you will have to badly sweep all block till it find it), check if left or right button mouse was clicked and do respective thing (assign or delete a block) to that map position:

Code: Select all

function love.mousepressed(x, y, key)

		x, y = love.mouse.getPosition()
		block_x = math.ceil(x / size)
		block_y = math.ceil(y / size)

	if key == "l" then
		blockdata[block_y][block_x] = selectX
	end
	
	if key == "r" then
		blockdata[block_y][block_x] = 0 -- alter 0 to whatever your empty tile is. could be other stuff but how can I know without the attachment?
	end
...
end

Edit: I didn't realize it when I first read your post, but you are a pompous dick. Please don't reply to my topics anymore unless you have something constructive to say. You've told me plenty of times that my block system (on my first freaking project) is bad, I get it. And the wiki is rather vague sometimes.

In my game Dungeoneer I have a tile-based terrain generator. How could I go about making these tiles destructible? I just want to be able to click on a tile to "delete" it.

Destructible tiles? Help

LaserGuns, the next time you have a problem I might be able to help you myself, and I look forward to doing so.

Coffee, I would decrease your karma for this if you hadn't disabled it. You really should know better.
