Trouble with PolygonShape:GetPoints

Post by jbm222 »

So I'm having trouble with PolygonShape:getPoints(). I'm trying to call the function like so:

Code: Select all

love.graphics.polygon("fill", myShape:getPoints())
The error I see is "Incorrect Parameter Type : Expected User Data"

Any suggestions? I should mention that even though I've been programming for several years, I am new to lua and love2d.

I think you need to do:

Code: Select all

love.graphics.polygon("fill", unpack(myShape:getPoints()))

Dumb mistake.... I tried to do myShape.getPoints() instead of myShape:getPoints(). Told you I'm new to lua.

It's not returning a table...
