yes exactly do nothing for x amount of time

I'm able to do it another way but it would have been useful to have a function pause(time) that I can call when I need a x amount of pause

Well what it does is pause my script on start not when I call the function

When I think that all this was to simplify my life hehehe

BIG thanx

this is gona be useful


EDIT


Doesn't work, I tried with 300000 and finally saw a difference, but what it did is not pause my loop since the loop continues, what it does it slows the loop

Ok, I'm working on an animation in lua for the intro of my game and I'm trying to do a pause in the loop as a function so I can use it anywhere I need a pause and just change the value of my pause like something like this function sleep(wait) if i <= to wait do i = i + 1 something missing here to pa...

Hey LuMo you think something can be done with this function Image:magnify(mag) mag = mag or 2 -- 2 times in size by default local w = self:width() local h = self:height() local result = Image.createEmpty(mag*w, mag*h) for x = 0, w-1 do for y = 0, h-1 do result:fillRect(mag*x, mag*y, mag,mag, self:pi...

Why do you need it (well I already founs a use hehe), actually understand what your problem is, you want an image to overlay over and other, or are you trying to make the collision with the alpha of a character, if yes dude don't waste your time with that, rectangle for colision will do the trick.

Is it possible to make the analog stick react more like a 8 way pad

\ | /

The max is 512x512, but for some unknown reason sometime I get an error like you

so splited in smaller parts actually 256x256 and everything works well

it's the best I can do

Ok if you code lua,, and is bored or dunno what to code, private message me.

try 500x500 instead, it worked for me, after getting the same error

wow that makes so much sense

but what I get is weird, what happens is the get stock on the red pixel and to move away I need to go the opposite way, if I go up and down even if there is no red pixel it stays there. (would be great for a spider man game)

Ok what it was doing I pretty much understood, it's the analog part that was bugging me I think I was under the illusion that the analog couldn't do that But now that you tell me I can control it like the d pad, this shouldn't be to hard big thanx man someone sugested to detect pixel around I think ...

actually I am new to programming, but 22 years ago I use to program basic on ZX-81 and commodore 64

but I'm starting to understand again, still a few things I need to understand, but thanx to shine earlier I understand function

red = Color.new(255, 0, 0) dot = Image.load("DATA/dot.png") bgC = Image.load("DATA/bg col2.png") x1 = 0 ; x0 = 0 ; y1 = 0 ; y0 = 0 ------------------------------------------ ---------Function Analog Stick------------ ------------------------------------------ function analogS() ...

Thanx mate here's the analog function function analogS() pad = Controls.read() dx = pad:analogX() if math.abs(dx) > 32 then x0 = x0 - dx / 64 end dy = pad:analogY() if math.abs(dy) > 32 then y0 = y0 - dy / 64 end What I'm trying to is to be able to go around the red pixel zone but never be able to g...

Thanx it's not that yet but it seems to be closer to my goal since I don't get stop, now it kind breaks and jump over but I think I might manage except if got more great ideas like this one cause it really help the fact it doesn't stop totaly really helps me out now I feel I'm going somewhere, well ...

I move around a png with the analog, I use a colorpixel detection for my collision, I'm able to get it to stop when it hit the color but then i can't move , what must I do to get the analog stick to continu moving the png without passing the red zone (like an obstacle) while true do screen:clear() a...

Shine I love your explanation, very clear and simple

you just made me understand exactly what function where for (sorry for my ignorance, started lua a week ago and for only background in programation basic from 20 years ago)

Wow that definetly answers my question, thanx shine.

So you propose I do everything in one file instead of different files, now this brings another question , is there a file size limit

Variable = nil. If a variable is nil then it is immidiatly called to the garbage collector and removed since varibles that dont exist give you a nil/null format. Big thanx romero126 so if I understand this right if I called a png that takes lots of memory and then make it = nil it wil be out of the...

LUA is call based. If you run another script.. the previous script is still loaded in active memory. is there away to clear them from the memory, here's an example I call a level for a game it call images and other stuff that are only used for that level, so when I get to another level is there a w...

If I have a script that calls another script, does the first script get erase from the memory or is it still running, if it's still running can I stop it from running and keep some variables in memory (do I need to write them to a file before) Hope it's clear, I'm new at lua since last friday, and I...

another thing you can do to .png that will help get smaller image is to turn them to indexed colr (yeah you only get 256 colors but you can do amazing stuff with 256 colors) and you can have the transparency to, good way to make smaller files. lil update, indexed color will preserve the invisibility...

this is the one of the best lua software done, a bit tricky to get use to

where I get the x o are set Jap way so I always press the wrong one, would it be easy to do a plug-in that sitch the x and o a bit like the color them chooser.

Great one ema
