Yeah, you'd use variableName.Position = Vector2.new(10, 10) -- (x,y)

Re: Downloading a file without blocking.

Share what? The GUI system or the sink function?

Re: Downloading a file without blocking.

I did end up figuring out how to do it with sink, and made my own function for it. I also have a GUI system a, it has progress bars included already :D g = MasterGui.new("ProgressBar") g.Percent = 10 g.Position = Vector2.new(10, 10) g.BackgroundColor = Color3.new(255, 255, 255) Thanks ! :)

Downloading a file without blocking.

I am currently using LuaSocket to download a file in a thread with this simple code: local b, c, h = http.request("https://www.example.com/Download/Example.exe?from="..Game.Version) However, it will block the thread until done. What I want to do is make a "Progress" bar on my mai...

How to Stop a Thread

I am using threads for hosting servers within the application, and all is fine, except I need to be able to stop the server.

Re: changing hue

You could try tinting the screen with a transparent color...
Won't work well, however.

For images, you can use love.graphics.setColor to set a tint for them, or RGB 255,255,255 to reset it back to normal.

Re: Understanding threads

Hey,

Okay, great :D
Last question ... are love's main callbacks included in the thread by default?

Thanks.

Re: Menu Screens, Animation and Platforming

I made a class for #3, though it only works with polygons (rectangles) and circles. You can easily set properties of a "Part" or "Circle" by doing stuff like: part = Instance.new("Part") part.Name = "Part 01" part.CanCollide = true -- force other cancollide-tr...

Re: Understanding threads

Okay, thanks!
And to require a love module, I just do something such as "require('love.audio')" correct?
