[NOT SOLVED] HardonCollider - polygon:unpack() not working

[Ovidios]

Whenever i try to call the :unpack() function of the polygon I created using the Collider:addPolygon function I get an error saying the field unpack() is a nil value.
This is how the polygon-table is created:

Code: Select all

function addEnemy(x, y, damage, speed, color, enemytype, health)
	local points = ranPoly(damage, 20)
	enemy.list[#enemy.list] = col:addPolygon(unpack(points))
	enemy.list[#enemy.list].damage = damage
	enemy.list[#enemy.list].color = color
	enemy.list[#enemy.list].speed = speed
	enemy.list[#enemy.list].health = health
	enemy.list[#enemy.list].maxHealth = health
	enemy.list[#enemy.list].enemyType =  enemytype
	print(inspect(enemy.list[#enemy.list]))
end

Thanks in advance,

Depends on what the rest of the code does.
Usually:

Code: Select all

enemy.list[#enemy.list] = 

Overwrites the last numeric element.
Did you mean:

Code: Select all

enemy.list[#enemy.list + 1] = 

I suggest rewriting it as:

Code: Select all

   local points = ranPoly(damage, 20)
   local e = col:addPolygon(unpack(points))
   e.damage = damage
   e.color = color
   e.speed = speed
   e.health = health
   e.maxHealth = health
   e.enemyType =  enemytype
   return e
end

enemy.list[#enemy.list + 1] = newEnemy(x, y, damage, speed, color, enemytype, health)

Yeah, I wrote it that way before but I read somewhere that the shape tables cannot be copied that easy (for some reason I didn't understand ). I thus changed it.
Returning it to the way you suggested it didn't help. I still can't call :unpack()...
