In which cases when you enter a value into a table will it's key be a numerical value such as [1] or [2]? Like table.insert(t,{})?

makes sense, and now it's saying somewhere it's comparing with a nil number. Could it be clickX & Y ?

so then in which cases do tables get a numerical value when entered?

[quote="Robin" What you really need is to use ipairs , instead of pairs . Unlike pairs , which goes over all the keys in the table, ipairs only goes over integer keys from 1 to n , which is what you want in this case.[/quote] Ah! So it skips all the things like metatables and other tables?

Gaude! And now it appears the mouseover thing isn't working. I did a couple adjustments, although i'm obviously missing something.

If only I was one of those programmers that can just do anything without any assistance.

So now I need to create some type of function that when I call it it creates a new instance in the table "t". t = { } prototype = { __index = { x = 0, y = 0, text = "banana" } } id = 0 t.new = function() t[1 + id] = setmetatable({}, prototype) id = id + 1 end but I believe if I t...

uh... k... I don't see what setting a index equal to the table of which the index is in does, and I'm guessing in making the first argument in setmetatable with {name = name, parent=parent} is creating a table with those values. To be honest I might be more confused now than when I started.Why would...

true, though now I get another error saying that line 45 in gui.lua it says that v.text is a table value or at least v in the for loop is a table.

Not a big deal, can't even get text to print at this point. So I come crawling back to LÖve's forum for help. Been trying some basic OOP and can't get it to work. When you right click the box should appear saying "hello" somewhere on it, but that doesn't seem happen.

It's... so.... beautiful


thanks! now on to my other problems! AWAYYYYY!
