You don't seem to call goo.mousepressed()... I've never used goo but I guess you should add like

Code: Select all

function love.mousepressed(x,y,button)
    goo:mousepressed(x,y,button)
end
or something.

Thanks. :)

Hm, I can't reproduce the error you're getting. Could you say exactly what you do to get the error? And are you sure this is the exact same version that errors?

Thanks for replying :awesome:

I want buttons to do something, so i am adding

Code: Select all

function exbutton:onClick(x, y, button)
    love.event.push("q")
end
to the bottom and TA DA - error
Am i doing it wrong? Because if i adding this function at the mainMenu it just does nothing :roll:

That function is defined in the global scope, which means Lua tries to create it before love.load has been run.
At this point, exbutton has not been created yet, and trying to create a new value in a table that doesn't exist results in an error.

Try moving function exbutton:onclick ... end to line 56.

At line 56 it does absolutely nothing, but the game starts normally :cry:
