I am having a problem, and I cant figure out what to search for to find the correct answer. Lets say I wanted to do this: if not inPause then playerUDPATE() end if not inMenu then playerUDPATE() end How can I consolidate that into one if? I know that booleans act differently with and and or and so w...

Okay I figured it out. I remember a while ago I had everything in the camera.draw function, except things like the player score, health, etc. But because I wanted the camera to move at 15 pixels per second, I created an invisible square, and then had the camera use that for its "look at" y...

Thanks for the reply Kikito. I was concerned I might be misunderstanding the whole idea. I will go back and just rethink everything. But here is why I thought they were using different coordinate systems: If i place my player on the screen, and print out his y position, it will stay at 500(if I dont...

Hi micha, Thanks for the reply. If I put the tanks within the viewport (opposite to how they are now), they will spawn at their respective x, y values. But they dont, they spawn way above the field of view, and the camera slowly brings them into view. So the camera does affect the objects that are b...

Hi, I know this is an old thread, but seeing as it is about this library I thought it okay : ) I am running into a problem that my inexperienced mind cant figure out. Here is what I have: A player that moves with the camera. Can move around freely without affecting what the camera looks at. The came...

Awesome, thank you Snake!

That worked and I understand a little bit more about the whole thing. I will delve into the links you provided.

Thanks

Hi, I implemented the fix you suggested but now I am getting another error that I cant figure out. It tells me that it cant index the upvalue player because it is a boolean? There are no booleans in the player table. I am really not sure what it means. I searched for a bit but cant find out what it ...

Thanks!

Do you mind if I ask why it needs to be like that? Right now with love and lua I am having the most trouble with learning how things relate/use each other.

Thanks

Hi, Quick question: how would I go about accessing table information from a file other than the file the table is in? I have player.lua, with this information: player = {} player.x = 250 player.y = 250 Then in collisions.lua, I need to use player.x in my collision functions. I tried putting require ...
