Lua Programming Help Thread

how do i load a file if my cursor goes over a certain pixel?

Is there a way to control two cursors, one with the directional pads and one with the X, O, []... buttons at the same time so that you can play twoplayer stuff? And if so, can it be made using functions?
/Lingon =)

i believe that is possible

and sg57, i would help out with that, but i am not real sure how to do it

alright so im making a little gmae just for me and my pals. I won't be sending it to pspu because the fact that its really noobish and sloppy and a bunch of other things. But anyway. I want to make a hidden bonus content kinda thing that will display pics when you press a button. I have the hidden key combo done and the button pushing thing done. My only thing is when you display the hidden content it doesn't let you exit. Ive tried everything from adding the whole break thing in it in diff places and nothing works. this is the snippet of code that im having trouble with:

spad = Controls.read()

if spad:l() and spad:r() and spad:down() and spad:select() then do
screen:clear()
screen:print(10,130,"U figured it out. Enjoy!",green)
screen.flip()

if spad:start() then
break
end

while true do

mpad = Controls.read()

if mpad:cross() then
screen:clear()
screen:blit(0,0,bonusimg)
screen.flip()
screen.waitVblankStart()
end

if mpad:triangle() then
screen:clear()
screen:blit(0,0,bonusimg2 )
screen.flip()
screen.waitVblankStart()
end

if mpad:square() then
screen:clear()
screen:blit(0,0,bonusimg3 )
screen.flip()
screen.waitVblankStart()
end

if mpad:circle() then
screen:clear()
screen:blit(0,0,bonusimg4 )
screen.flip()
screen.waitVblankStart()
end
end
end
end
end

Help please!

bonusimg = Image.load(" ")
bonusimg2 = Image.load(" ")
bonusimg3 = Image.load(" ")
bonusimg4 = Image.load(" ")

function start()
while true do
pad = Controls.read()

if pad:ltrigger() then
if pad:rtrigger() then
if pad:down() then
if pad:select() then
screen:clear()
screen.print(10,130,"U figured it out. Enjoy!",green)
screen.flip()
ending()
end
end
end
end

if pad:start() then
break
end
end
end

function ending()
while true do
pad = Controls.read()

if pad:cross() then
screen:clear()
screen:blit(0,0,bonusimg)
screen.waitVblankStart()
screen.flip()
end

if pad:triangle() then
screen:clear()
screen:blit(0,0,bonusimg2 )
screen.waitVblankStart()
screen.flip()
end

if pad:square() then
screen:clear()
screen:blit(0,0,bonusimg3 )
screen.waitVblankStart()
screen.flip()
end

if pad:circle() then
screen:clear()
screen:blit(0,0,bonusimg4 )
screen.waitVblankStart()
screen.flip()
end
end
end

So how do I do that?

take out the end function and just say while true do and controls.read cause end already has a function

sorry IchigoKurosaki but your code didn't work. i figured it out. I had to put the

if spad:start() then
break
end

and the

if mpad:start() then
break
end

directly under the controls.read() function. I got it to work and its coming along. Thanks for trying tho guys! :D
