I still do think you need to look into the displayGroup management in your game. I can not see that the hudGroup is ever created in the first place.
I am not shure how appropriate it is to mix director and storyboard in the same project. I would pick one and stick to it, since they both removes objects in each scene (I guess).
(Sorry if I sound like a looping record…) [import]uid: 25729 topic_id: 33981 reply_id: 135405[/import]
First thing I would do is put a print statement in the callGameOver function to make sure it is being called.
Also your calling it with -
callGameOver(“win”);
But your callGameOver function isn’t taking a parameter as far as I can see.

As jensto says, your calling Director and your using StoryBoard. Was this written for Director and your converting it to Storyboard ?
I presume that is where module(…, package.seeall) is coming from. You don’t need that anymore.
Also I can’t see where you are creating the hudGroup either.
If you want to email me the code and images at thedavebaxter [at] gmail.com, I can take a look.

What do I write then? [import]uid: 128294 topic_id: 33981 reply_id: 135133[/import]
Put a print statement as the first line of the callGameOver function -
print(“callGameOver Entered”)
If this prints in the terminal, you know the function is being called.
When calling the function, just put -
callGameOver()

I get this when I load the level.

mygame/level2.lua:22: unexpected symbol near ‘9999’
stack traceback:

[/text]
Bare in mind this is what I have for the top.
[lua]module(…, package.seeall)
local storyboard = require(“storyboard”)
local scene = storyboard.newScene()
_W = display.contentWidth;
_H = display.contentHeight;
local button = {}
local buttonCover = {}
local buttonImages = {7,7, 8,8, 9,9, 10,10, 11,11, 12,12}
local lastButton
local background
local restartTimer
local timerInfo
local numSeconds = 40
local totSeconds = numSeconds
local counterSize = 50
local counter
local scoreText
local gameScore 9999
local totalButtons = 0
local secondSelect = 0
local checkForMatch = false
local gameOver [/lua]
And after that…
[lua]local callGameOver()
– Create all game over objects and insert them into the HUD group
print(“callGameOver Entered”)[/lua] [import]uid: 128294 topic_id: 33981 reply_id: 135183[/import]
You need to use what it’s giving you to find the error.
Where it says level2.lua:22 unexpected symbol near 9999.
That means in the file level2.lua at line 22 there is a problem near the word 9999.
So go to line 22 and what do you see ?
There is a = sign missing.
It’s not always obvious but once you learn to pick out the bits from the error it gets easier. Always work from the top of the error message as that will usually tell you where to start looking. The rest of the error message usually tells you what line called level2.lua and what function etc…
Dave [import]uid: 117617 topic_id: 33981 reply_id: 135227[/import]
Added = to line 22 , but I still got the same. Error message with loading.lua as well. So I checked it out.
[lua]-- Called immediately after scene has moved onscreen:
function scene:enterScene(event)
local group = self.view
local previous = storyboard.getPrevious()
if previous ~= “main” and previous then
storyboard.removeScene(previous)
end
local ready = function()
storyboard.gotoScene(“level”…loadLevel, “fromBottom”, 500)
end
timer.performWithDelay(1000, ready)
– INSERT code here (e.g. start timers, load audio, start listeners, etc.)
end[/lua]
Is there something wrong with line 67? [import]uid: 128294 topic_id: 33981 reply_id: 135286[/import]
No, the error message is just telling you what line called the file with the error.
I don’t understand why you are still getting the same error message if you fixed line 22.
You probably need to post all your code here and the error messages.
