Lua Programming Help Thread

What is the command prompt (or whatever it is) That displays the error with the code in luaplayerwindows?

theres a prompt tthat does that?

jus go through your code carfully till u find what's wrong with it. usually a small misttake

Well I know that it displays the error very quickly in the main window if the game doesn't start up. I've learned to read it even though it's fast. It tells you the line of your error and what it is and everything. It displays for a split second longer if click and hold somewher in the screen, too. There's probably an easier way to do it, but that's how I do it.

Yeah, theres a prompt that freezes the screen so you can read it, I remember there ws a thread somewhere here but I cant remember which it was. Im gonna look around though. But how the hell do you read it? Its impossible for me.

Hint: If anyone has played the flash game Stick Avalanche thats what I am making.

I have the eyes of a ninja...

P.S. I just checked in your other thread and the cmd is pause.

Okay, heres my code Im testing and i get Unexpected symbol near "=" heres the code

Code:

---

spike = Image.load = ("spike.png")
background = Image.load = ("background.png")

while true do

screen:blit(0, 0, background)
screen:flip()

screen:blit(130, 130, spike)
screen:flip()

screen:waitVblankStart()

end

---

Wow im stupid nevermind

But I test the images loading and I get this

God Photobucket is gay... But you can see the image is distorted...(Its supposed to be a black triangle) and the background it supposed to be white.

edit: dammit u gotta stop doin that

To see the error you just have to open it in cmd thingy...
Press start, run then type cmd and run it, in cmd it should automatically point to the directory c:/documents and settings/*your user name*/

when they shows up, if you have your luaplayer windows in a folder on your desktop you just type:

cd desktop/*name of folder*/
and enter
then type:
test.cmd

and it will show you the error and won't dissapear

does anyone know what commands are to activate and use IR???
