Creating an "endless runner" that isnt random?

I couldnt think of a short way to describe what i mean. Basically I'm making a game like an endless runner, except it isnt endless. I want to have levels that you can complete, but it still plays like an endless runner. What I'm trying to do is make each level have a planned x,y coor for each platfo...

Re: Why is this variable nil? :/

The problem isn't in that code. It's somewhere else in the project. Most likely you're trying to update the player before it's been loaded. But we can't tell without more information. the only other file in the project is main: require("player") function love.main() LOAD_PLAYER(500, 200) ...

yeah well the map is invisible in game anyway so that part should matter haha.

Re: How do I use stencil?

After preparing the stencil by drawing on it, you have to activate it. Read my explanation again. I feel like this should be working, but the DRAW_BLOOD isnt being called at all, or at least not drawn. local function my_stencil_function() DRAW_MAP_LOADER() end function love.draw() camera:set() love...

Re: How do I use stencil?

Can't say for sure without looking at your full code, but it seems so. If you want the map to act as a mask for your spawning objects, you'll have to draw the map to the mask (=the stencil). Edit: Maybe you can just do: love.graphics.stencil(DRAW_MAP_LOADER) (Note the parentheses are missing, becau...

Re: How do I use stencil?

Only you know the organization of your game, but the functionality is as follows. You can see the stencil as an invisible mask, similar to an alpha layer, but only yes/no. When the stencil is active, a pixel is either drawn or not drawn, even if the values of the mask can be in 0-255; there's no op...
