Well i hinted at it a few times, but besides being the "really helpful guy, in the LUA Help Thread", im also working on a project of my own (a RTS).
Im pretty far at the moment. I just need to make some graphics for other units and buildings and a menu and then implement them and i will release a beta i think. But since i dont have the right stuff on my pc here ill have to wait till next weekend. If thats done i will release something soon.
Got a question: Does anyone know, if using "dofile()" uses more memory then if you put it in the same file?
I ask this because if you run one lua file and in it you call another one. If you quit that one, you "fall back to the old lua file. So does this mean it has that state saved in the memory? And would that be a big amount it would use or is it really really small?
Hope its clear
Kool, I thought that to myself before, my guess would be it would take up alot, another problem with do file is, if you move to the main game, and you unload your menu images for more space, but if you break it and will mess up the menu, due to the images being nil.Zitat:
Zitat von Altair
well could ofcourse make it load the images again before i go back to the menu. So it only loads them when i need them.
Okay. How could I have it so if I press X then 1 of 5 (or however many) sentences will pop up? would i do need to store the value from math.random() into a variable then print it onto the screen? Would this work?Code:while true do
screen.clear()
pad=Controls.read()
if pad:cross() then
do math.Random(5)
math.Random(5)
if math.random(5) = 1 then
screen:print(130,200,1,white)
if math.random(5) = 2 then
screen:print(130,200,2,white)
if math.random(5) = 3 then
screen:print(130,200,3,white)
if math.random(5) = 4 then
screen:print(130,200,4,white)
if math.random(5) = 5 then
screen:print(130,200,5,white)
screen.waitVblankStart()
screen.flip()
end
I really want and need a Wi-Fi turotial for lua!
I guess i am not the only one?
@MaSt3r_ShAk3:
You cant say "do math.random(5)". Also close ever "if then" statement with an "end" statement. Also you have to say "if ... == ... then" and not "if ... = ... then". So you have to use TWO "="'s.
So it becomes:
Code:while true do
screen.clear()
pad=Controls.read()
if pad:cross() then
random=math.Random(5)
if random == 1 then
screen:print(130,200,1,white)
end
if random == 2 then
screen:print(130,200,2,white)
end
if random == 3 then
screen:print(130,200,3,white)
end
if random == 4 then
screen:print(130,200,4,white)
end
if random == 5 then
screen:print(130,200,5,white)
end
screen.waitVblankStart()
screen.flip()
end
Ok, I get an error. Unexpected symbol near '1'
o yeah i just noticed: "screen:print(130,200,4,w hite)"
should be:
"screen:print(130,200,"4" ,white)"
And that for all these commands. You see, if you want it to display the character 4 then you have to put it in "'s (dont know what they're called :P ). If you dont then lua treats it like a variable.
i think i got all the errors. it actually starts now.
u gotta define the whatchacallits tho
Code:white = Color.new(0, 0, 0)
while true do
screen:clear()
pad=Controls.read()
if pad:cross() then
do math.Random(5)
end
math.Random(5)
if math.random(5) == 1 then
screen:print(130,200,"1",white)
end
if math.random(5) == 2 then
screen:print(130,200,"2",white)
end
if math.random(5) == 3 then
screen:print(130,200,"3",white)
end
if math.random(5) == 4 then
screen:print(130,200,"4",white)
end
if math.random(5) == 5 then
screen:print(130,200,"5",white)
end
screen.waitVblankStart()
screen.flip()
end
end
