Problems when using world callbacks[Solved]

[NoreoAlles]

Hello, for some reason i get the error message "Error player.lua:93: attempt to index local 'coll' (a nil value)'" when this code gets used :

Code: Select all

function Player:beginContact(a, b, coll)
    if self.grounded == true then return end
    local mx,my = coll:getNormal()
    if b == self.physics.fixture then 
        if my > 0 then
            self:Land()
        end
    elseif b == self.fixture then 
        if my < 0 then
            self:Land()
        end
    end
end

Can you post your World:setCallbacks call?

[grump]

Code: Select all

-- not correct
world:setCallbacks(player.beginContact)

-- correct
world:setCallbacks(function(a, b, c) player:beginContact(a, b, c) end)

Except for the colon after 'world'

Oops, fixed.

Can you post your World:setCallbacks call?

In main.lua

Code: Select all

function love.load()
    World = love.physics.newWorld(0, 0)
    World:setCallbacks(beginContact, endContact)
    ...
    end

function beginContact(a, b, coll)
    Player:beginContact()
end

function endContact(a, b, coll)
    Player:endContact()
end

Code: Select all

-- not correct
world:setCallbacks(player.beginContact)

-- correct
world:setCallbacks(function(a, b, c) player:beginContact(a, b, c) end)

Tysm! It atleast doesnt crash anymore, now i can acctually implement functioning gravity.

[pgimeno]

Code: Select all

function beginContact(a, b, coll)
    Player:beginContact()
end

If you don't pass the parameters to the player, you can't expect them to be received by your method, and it will receive nil values instead.

Try:

Code: Select all

function beginContact(a, b, coll)
    Player:beginContact(a, b, coll)
end

Same for endContact obviously.

Something suspicious is a possible confusion between the player class and the player instance. But that's an entirely different thing.

So, i did some testing and found out that when the player is on the ground from frame 1, that the script does work and y Vel is 0. That means it simply isnt updated (correct me if im wrong, but everything gets executed once when starting, right?) Buuuut, you`re probably right with your susspicion. Everytime i try to put the beginContact function into any function that ends up in love.update, i get an index error. I do not know how to fix this.

You don't know which of a or b is going to be the player and which is going to be the platform. You need to check both, but you only check b.

Also, which one is the fixture? self.fixture or self.physics.fixture?
