I'm trying to make a "hitbox" for my character's attack (making a platformer). I want the hitbox object to "follow" the player and be "bound" to it, but I'm not entirely sure how to do that. My player is coded as follows player = {} player.b = love.physics.newBody(world...

You can't, not really. You'll have to delay it manually: maxTime = 0.2 curTime = 0 function love.update( dt ) curTime = curTime + dt if curTime > maxTime then -- go to the next step of your animation curTime = curTime - maxTime -- for smoothness, don't just go back to 0 end end Incidentally, this i...

I can't get animations to work either with AnAL or anim8, so I decided I would just manually swap out images, which is working fine, except I can't figure out how to "delay" the image change instead of it being what I assume is an instantaneous swap. How would I go about delaying it?

That worked perfectly, thank you!

I can't really do a detailed debug right now, but you are aware that images are by default drawn with their X,Y in the top-left corner, while physics bodies by default are calculated with X,Y as the center of the hitbox? This is something that will cause the sort of things that you're seeing right ...

I've actually been able to determine whether or not the two objects are colliding by the following code: function beginContact(a, b, coll) if a == player.f then --text = text.."?????" if b == enemy.f then text = text.."CONTACT" end end x,y = coll:getNormal() text = text.."\n...

Hey there, I have two problems that I've been trying to figure out so far. I've got a player character who is input controlled, and an "enemy" character who is "built" the same way as the player character. I used the CollisionCallback Physics tutorial on the main page, and while ...

Trying to get collision working in my game, I've been using the PhysicsCallback tutorial. It tells me when any objects collide with each other, but I want a function that checks to see when two specific objects collide, so I coded the two functions "beginPlayerEnemyContact" and "endPl...

That worked, thank you!

Hey all, I'm getting started with Love2D for the first time, and I was following a tutorial that would have me "control" a small red ball. However, I wish to use a pre-existing image. How would I go about doing this? The code in my main.lua is as follows function love.load() --player = lov...
