Re: Local Variable Availability - Multiple Callback Function

Local Variable Availability - Multiple Callback Functions

I need to make a local variable from my "love.draw()" available in my "love.keypressed()". Is there a way to let it be accessed without making it a global / public class field?

Asset(s) Located In Subfolders

I would like to organize my art assets for my game. But, I realized that they will not be found if I put them within a subfolder located in the folder containing my main.lua. For example, if I create a folder for my art assets, then put one of my sprites in there and run the following line: sprite= ...

Re: A Bunch Of Joystick Questions

Weird. What OS are you using and what does Joystick:getGUID return exactly? Is it an official xbox 360 controller or some aftermarket variant? If you use this with [wiki]love.joystick.loadGamepadMappings[/wiki], does it work? Windows 7. I got the controller new from Walmart. Its should be official....

Re: A Bunch Of Joystick Questions

Since you're using an Xbox 360 controller, you shouldn't need to set any mappings yourself – SDL has a built-in collection of mappings that includes Xbox 360 controllers.

Re: Joystick Help Please

It's possible that your joystick isn't actually registered as a gamepad. Try putting this in your code (with console enabled in conf.lua): function love.joystickpressed(joystick, button) print(joystick, button) end Press buttons on your joystick, and if you get output, then that means you'll have t...

Joystick Help Please

I do not know whether the 2nd code snippet on this page is outdated or not, but it isn't working for me:
https://love2d.org/wiki/Joystick

I am also trying to use the function:

Code: Select all

love.gamepadpressed( joystick, button )
But it isn't working either. Does anyone have suggestions of what I am missing?
