I’m trying to test out this level but am having trouble getting it to load. I am getting an error ) expected near , in this line of code
local spawnPlayerObject(xPlayerSpawn, yPlayerSpawn, richTurn)
I am trying to use director class for level transitions and such as well. any help would be great. Thank you [import]uid: 94237 topic_id: 17316 reply_id: 317316[/import]
Are you trying to declare a function, then use this syntax:
local function spawnPlayerObject(xPlayerSpawn, yPlayerSpawn, richTurn)
end
Check this article to understand functions:

Hope this helps. [import]uid: 84539 topic_id: 17316 reply_id: 65480[/import]
Thanks that fixed that part, but now its saying table expected on
localGroup:insert(background)
heres the whole thing
function new()
localGroup = display.newGroup()
local background = display.newImage(‘1_0.png’, true)
localGroup:insert(background)
thanks again [import]uid: 94237 topic_id: 17316 reply_id: 65483[/import]
it seems like its not recognizing the localGroup or something along those lines [import]uid: 94237 topic_id: 17316 reply_id: 65514[/import]
Could you post the complete code… Difficult to make out the issue with posted code snippet
cheers,

ok sure

end
return localGroup
end
heres all the code in the file

Could you also post the error message. I do not see any error with localGroup declaration and insert method… [import]uid: 84539 topic_id: 17316 reply_id: 65523[/import]
it says ERROR:table expecte, if this is a function call you may have used . instead of : [import]uid: 94237 topic_id: 17316 reply_id: 65526[/import]
first remove line 11 and add local to line 10 [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 17316 reply_id: 65535[/import]
line ten is commented out right now are you saying i should activate it and add local. I did do that and am now getting an error of syntax error near on the next active line of code [import]uid: 94237 topic_id: 17316 reply_id: 65537[/import]
sorry line numbers don’t line up on iphone
Sturret = require(“Sturret”) — add local here
local Sturret — remove this line
[import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 17316 reply_id: 65540[/import]
ok i did that but i’m still getting the syntax error [import]uid: 94237 topic_id: 17316 reply_id: 65541[/import]
i fixed it but I’m back to getting this error, ERROR:table expecte, if this is a function call you may have used . instead of : [import]uid: 94237 topic_id: 17316 reply_id: 65542[/import]
what line number is the error on [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 17316 reply_id: 65544[/import]
it’s localGroup:insert which is 36 above
[import]uid: 94237 topic_id: 17316 reply_id: 65546[/import]
still looking at code but
take a look a spritegrabber in code exchange it makes dealing with spritesheets easier [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 17316 reply_id: 65549[/import]
try moving local localGroup to under function new() [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 17316 reply_id: 65550[/import]
the same error is appearing with that as well [import]uid: 94237 topic_id: 17316 reply_id: 65552[/import]

in code above
line 30 delete
line 33 add local
line 63
should be localGroup:insert(rich)
