That's strange then. I've seen other save files like this using colons and they worked. Idk. Maybe they did it a different way. At least I think I saw that. Idk, well anyway thanks for the help!

It should be saved as:

Code: Select all

highscore=0

That shouldn't change anything should it? I was printing a string to the file with a variable?

edit:
wtf it worked. why don't colons work?

I'm trying to save a highscore variable using love.filesystem and when I do this, I can save the file and the information inside it. I just can't figure out how to load the data properly?

Could I see an example of that? I'm still trying to grasp onto coding. I'm having lots of trouble but slowly learning stuff.

I'm curious if it's possible to make all of the buttons in my game spawn when love.load() is ran. I have buttons in gamestates other than menu which is what you start in upon loading the game. At the moment this works: function button_IsSpawned() if gamestate == "settingstate" then if b_sp...

I'm trying to check whether or not vsync is enabled and I get this error: "attempt to index global 't' (a nil value) if t.window.vsync == true then love.graphics.print("vSync: Enabled",0,20) elseif t.window.vsync == false then love.graphics.print("vSync: Disabled",0,20) end ...

Think he means removing all images and graphics from the screen.

Well we'll need to see your code to see what the problem is. Table.remove is like this:

OnCollision
table.remove(tableName)

This will remove all instances of that table though. To just remove the object you want to, it's
table.remove(tableName,i)

I believe it's just trying to say that it can't find entities.lua. What does your line 2 look like?

A bit of a necropost, but I remembered I forgot to post this. Window icons are displayed less and less, fewer desktop environments show it on the window decorations, and docks and menus etc tend to prefer using application icons over window icons. So some of the behavior you describe seems to be re...
