Contents
Function
Synopsis
type = Shape:getType( )
Arguments
None.
Returns
ShapeType type- The type of the Shape.
Examples
Printing the type of a shape
shape1 = love.physics.newCircleShape( my_body, 0, 0, 20 )
print(shape1:getType()) -- outputs: 'circle'
shape2 = love.physics.newPolygonShape( my_body, ... )
print(shape2:getType()) -- outputs: 'polygon'
shape3 = love.physics.newRectangleShape( my_body, x, y, w, h, angle )
print(shape3:getType()) -- outputs: 'polygon'
