My game works like this. Balloons float up and i have five bullets and there are 5 balloons that come up and i have to shoot my bullet at them. If i run out of bullets the game ends and i lose even if not all the balloons have floated up. The game also ends if all 5 balloons have floated to the top of the screen. All works fine but then i restart my game when i click the marquee and i have five bullets again the balloons from the previous game seem to still be thee but just invisible. This makes the game end prematurely because say that i ran out of bullets and two balloons were floating up, and then i restart the game, those two balloons will count for the number of balloons that hit the top. Since only five balloons can hit the top in a new game those two old balloons already count for 2/5 balloons when they hit the top. So only three other balloons can come from the new game and float up until the game ends. Please help, how can i remove all the balloons upon restarting the game?!

It’s a bit hard to follow your code but it seems to me that you are removing the references to your balloons but not the actual objects. When you create any object in a composer scene, don’t forget to insert it into the main group that you define with _ self.view _. You can also insert those objects to other groups and insert that group into the main group.

Also, take a look at composer.removeHidden() and composer.removeScene() functions in API docs -> https://docs.coronalabs.com/api/library/composer/index.html

hi, please get back to me. I have a question I want to ask you

I was just like you

shadowknight1873 · November 29, 2016, 12:35am

Yes jirayu what is your question?

shadowknight1873 · November 29, 2016, 12:38am

Bgmadclown I have included my balloon object into the sceneGroup.

bgmadclown · November 29, 2016, 9:44am

First things first, you should remove all lines of

local sceneGroup = display.newGroup()

and insert just one at the top of that scene file without calling the newGroup function. I guess there’s 3 at the moment. Change it to this:

local sceneGroup -- preferrably at the top of file to keep the code clean local function scene:create(event) sceneGroup = self.view end

After doing so, you should also remove the lines where you manually remove sceneGroup and objects from this display group because Composer will handle those when you go to a new scene.

**** Remember that you should insert all the groups you created into this main group so Composer will take care of all of these groups.

sceneGroup:insert(exampleGroup)

When you go into a new scene remember to put this line into scene:show to remove all the scenes that are created before.

composer.removeHidden()
