I keep getting this error:
ERROR! No Matching Function for Overloaded draw
Stack Traceback:
[C:] in Function 'draw'
main.lua:40: in function main.lua:38
And I have NO clue what this means.
Heres the Code:
Code: Select all
function load()
Font = love.graphics.newFont(love.default_font, 20)
love.graphics.setFont(Font)
Tab = {}
Message = "Marlowe"
Number, ENumber = 200,300
for x = 1, string.len(Message) do
table.insert(Tab, {})
table.insert(Tab[1], string.sub(Message, x, x))
end
for i,v in ipairs(Tab) do
if (i == 1) then
v[1] = Number
v[2] = ENumber
v[3] = math.random(1,360)
else
v[1] = Tab[i - 1][1] + 20
v[2] = ENumber
v[3] = math.random(1,360)
end
end
end
function update()
for i,v in ipairs(Tab) do
v[3] = v[3] + 1
if (v[3] >= 360) then
v[3] = 0
end
end
end
function draw()
for i,v in ipairs(Tab) do
love.graphics.draw(v, v[1], v[2], v[3])
end
end
Help?

Is it because you have your draw method with 4 parameters instead of 3? Shouldn't it only be love.graphics.draw("what to draw", x, y)?
Code: Select all
love.graphics.draw(v, v[1], v[2], v[3])

Nah, the 4th Parameter is the Rotation Angle.
Try:
game.graphics.draw("Some Text", 200, 300, 90)
That will Rotate "Some Text" By 90 Degrees

Maybe one of the parameters is not passing as the right type? Like v isn't working as a string or v[1], v[2], or v[3] isn't passing as a number?

No Clue, But I've gotten this error on more than one occasion, and I have no clue how to fix it.

You're passing a table, v, as the first argument to draw, whereas I'm guessing you want a string.
If you pass Tab[1]
instead, you should get something like: 200*, 300, a rapidly changing number
between 1 and 360, and then "lowe", all spinning really fast.
If you want "Marlowe", you would do something like (note: all untested)
Code: Select all
table.insert(Tab[x], string.sub(Message, x, x))
and then move your other indices up by one, i.e.
Code: Select all
if (i == 1) then
v[2] = Number
v[3] = ENumber
v[4] = math.random(1,360)
else
v[2] = Tab[i - 1][2] + 20
v[3] = ENumber
v[4] = math.random(1,360)
end
and
Code: Select all
love.graphics.draw(v[1], v[2], v[3], v[4])
* - I just checked, and draw() does treat numbers as strings.

BEASTLY!
Thanks dude, you were right, I was passing the wrong stuff in draw.
It works perfectly now
