attempt to index global 'inputTimer' (a number value)

[onedaysnotice]

I don't get what i did wrong, or how its different from what i did with the player table.. :S

this is the line:
inputTimer.r = inputTimer.r + dt

and the entire code:

Code: Select all

debug = true

function love.load()

   ground = {}
   ground.y = 550
   ground.w = love.graphics.getWidth()
   ground.h = love.graphics.getHeight() - ground.y

   player = {}
   player.y = 500
   player.x = 100
   player.w = 50
   player.h = 50
   player.b = player.y + player.h
   player.r = player.x + player.w
   player.y_vel_base = -(ground.y + player.h) 
   player.y_vel = player.y_vel_base
   player.x_vel = 200
   player.x_vel2 = player.x_vel*3
   player.state = {
      jumping = false,
      facing = "right",
      running = false,
   }

   gravity = 1000
   releasekey = "none"

   inputTimer = {
      l = 0,
      r = 0,
   }

   combo = {
      l = "false",
      r = "false",
   }

end

function love.update(dt)

   if love.keyboard.isDown("up") and player.state == "idle" then
      player.state.jumping = true
   end

   if player.state.jumping then
      player.y = player.y + player.y_vel * dt
      player.y_vel = player.y_vel + gravity * dt
      if player.y + player.h > ground.y then
         player.y = ground.y - player.h
         player.y_vel = player.y_vel_base
         player.state = "idle"
      end
   end

   if releasekey == "right" then
      inputTimer.r = inputTimer.r + dt
      if inputTimer.r < 0.3 then
         combo.r = "true"
      else 
         inputTimer = 0
         releasekey = "none"
         combo.r = "false"
      end
   end

   if love.keyboard.isDown("right") then
      player.x = player.x + player.x_vel * dt
      if combo.r == "true" and love.keyboard.isDown("right") then
         player.x = player.x + player.x_vel2 * dt
      else
         inputTimer = 0
      end
   end

   if releasekey == "left" then
      inputTimer.l = inputTimer.l + dt
      if inputTimer.l < 0.3 then
         combo.l = "true"
      else 
         inputTimer.l = 0
         releasekey = "none"
         combo.l = "false"
      end
   end

   if love.keyboard.isDown("left") then
      player.x = player.x - player.x_vel * dt
      if combo.l == "true" and love.keyboard.isDown("left") then
         player.x = player.x - player.x_vel2 * dt
      else
         inputTimer.l = 0
      end
   end

end

function love.draw()
   love.graphics.rectangle("fill",player.x,player.y,player.w,player.h)
   love.graphics.rectangle("fill",0,ground.y,ground.w,ground.h)
   if debug then
      --love.graphics.print("player state: " ..player.state,50,50,0,1,1)
      love.graphics.print("y: " ..player.y,200,50,0,1,1)
      love.graphics.print("x: " ..player.x,200,65,0,1,1)
      love.graphics.print("last key release: " ..releasekey,50,65,0,1,1)
      love.graphics.print("combo (r): " ..combo.r, 50,80,0,1,1)
      love.graphics.print("combo (l): " ..combo.l, 50,90,0,1,1)
   end
end

function love.keypressed(key)

end

function love.keyreleased(key)
   if key == "tab" then
      debug = not debug
   end

   if key == "right" then
      releasekey = "right"
   end

   if key == "left" then
      releasekey = "left"
   end

end

You set several time "inputTimer" to 0, once in that same if and once in the if below

Hi

It seems that, at first glance, those lines are missing a little something that I'm sure you'll find :

Code: Select all

inputTimer = 0

Edit : ninjaed :d

@Nixola
Sorry, I didn't understand what you meant :S

@Lynesth
I tried adding inputTimer = 0 as well just in case but it didn't work

This issue only arises if make inputTimer a table, that is inputTimer = {l=0,r=0}. If i make it just a variable (inputTimer = 0) then it works fine :S

The fact is, you're already setting inputTimer to 0 twice, once 4 lines below "inputTimer.r = iputTimer.r + dt", once 14 lines below the same line

oh I just realized what I did...=_= thank so much! xD added the .r's now
