[Lua QUESTION] Exit Gracefully?

[Jenay]

Is there a built in function in Lua to immediately quit the program (besides the home function)

Right now I just call a undefined function to make it crash.

Thanks.

would it be exit or something? im still learning lua also.. but i just made a program.

Yes, that would be nice because when you press home it comes up with a wierd errorscreen before going back.

doesnt this do the job ? I dont have my PSP hooked up right now, so try this:

while true do

all of your code that needs to be in here


if pad:start() then
		break
	end

rest of your code here

I tried posting an example of code after this for you, but I keep getting this error:

You have included too many images in your signature or in your previous post. Please go back and correct the problem and then continue again.

Images include use of smilies, the vB code [img] tag and HTML <img> tags. The use of these is all subject to them being enabled by the administrator.

I used the code tags for it, but I seem to be having issues post the code. Oh well.

its just plain break to end the kill the code I guess.

error: no loop to break near 'end'

Then there's no way to exit it gracefully.. only through home menu.

To exit a simple program is just to break it. A simple example:

white = Color.new(255, 255, 255)

while true do
     screen:clear()
     screen:print(0, 0, "Hello World", white)
     screen:print(0, 10, "Press Start to Exit.", white)
     screen.flip()

     pad = Controls.read()

     if pad:start() then
          break
     end
end

          break
     end
end

OH! So I was partly right! It goes back to the XMB correct?

[Jenay]

it works if you are NOT in a function:

this pops an error:

white = Color.new(255, 255, 255)
function PlayTheGame()
     pad = Controls.read()
     if pad:start() then
          break
     end
end
while true do
     screen:clear()
     screen:print(0, 0, "Hello World", white)
     screen:print(0, 10, "Press Start to Exit.", white)
     screen.flip()
     PlayTheGame()
end

Post the Error with it.

[whitehawk]

If you put "if pad:start() then
break
end"

That will just exit the lua script, then you will get a screen saying "press start to restart.
