Need help with another error

[PedroChurro]

Hi, first of all, sorry for being spamming(not really) this forum with questions, but yeah, I have another error I can't solve.
So, I'm learning how to make a menu, and, this happens when I click the "Quit" button:

Code: Select all

Error

menu.lua:18 attempt to index field 'medium' (a nil value)


Traceback

menu.lua:18 in function 'button_click'
main.lua:36: in function 'mousepressed'
[C]: in function 'xpcall'

Say if wou wanna take a look at the code.

We need the code this time... Anyway, you probably wrote something like "a_table.medium[var]" without writing that "a_table.medium" is a table (you did it in line 18, if oyu don't know)

Line 18 of menu.lua: x < v.x + v.medium:getWidth(v.text) and
Line 36 of main.lua: button_click(x,y)
The variable: medium = love.graphics.newFont(35)

...Ok, you should really post more code. Anyway, you declared the global variable "medium", v (that is part of a For loop, I think) doesn't have a "medium" field

[PedroChurro]

Here is the main.lua and the map.lua:

Code: Select all

require 'player'
require 'map'
require 'menu'

function love.load()

   medium = love.graphics.newFont(35)
   
   gamestate = "menu"
   
   --Buttons
   button_spawn(5,200,"Start","start")
   button_spawn(5,300,"Quit","quit")
   
end
function love.update(dt)
	if gamestate == "playing" then
	player_move(dt)
	map_collide()
	end
	

end
function love.draw()
	if gamestate == "playing" then
	player_draw()
    end
	if gamestate == "menu" then
		button_draw()
	end
	

end
function love.mousepressed(x,y)
	if gamestate == "menu" then
		button_click(x,y)
	end

end

Code: Select all

button = {}

function button_spawn(x,y,text,id)
	table.insert(button, {x = x,y = y, text = text, id = id})
end
function button_draw()
	for i,v in ipairs(button) do
		love.graphics.setColor(255,255,255)
		love.graphics.setFont(medium)
		love.graphics.print(v.text,v.x,v.y)
	end
end
function button_click(x,y)
	for i,v in ipairs(button) do
	  if x > v.x and
	   x < v.x + v.medium:getWidth(v.text) and
	   y > v.y and
	   y < v.y + v.medium:getHeight() then
	      if v.id == "quit" then
		    love.event.push("quit")
			end
	  end
	end
end
