Is this Enough?

Ok, so I initiazlied in the main.lua all the open feint stuff I need. And then in the menu system I did what I had to do.

However, when the player wins the game, and gets the winLose function. I want to unlock the achievement.

I’m not requiring OpenFeint so far, and only have this little bit of code. Is this gonna suffice?

Or do I have to do, Local require openfeint = (“openfeint”)

and then put the coding in the winLose function?

Let me know. Take a look at this coding, and let me know what you think.

local function winLose(condition) if(condition == "win") then display\_txt.text = "WIN!"; win.isVisible = true win.isBodyActive = true openfeint.unlockAchievement ( 842812 ) [import]uid: 19768 topic_id: 7230 reply_id: 307230[/import]

Also, that’s just the little piece of coding that the winLose function has regarding the openfeint function. So that’s not all of it. That’s just the win part. [import]uid: 19768 topic_id: 7230 reply_id: 25411[/import]

do I have to do, Local require openfeint = (“openfeint”)

Yes you have to require() openfeint before using it in your code. Put the require() statement at the top, not inside your function. Also that is incorrect syntax; it should be

local openfeint = require("openfeint") [import]uid: 12108 topic_id: 7230 reply_id: 25420[/import]

Ok great thanks for the answer JHocking. Good thing I asked about that in the early levels. I would’ve had to go back and update all 100 of them. But now I only have to do the first 5, since that’s where I stopped to ask the question. Thanks for the answer :slight_smile: [import]uid: 19768 topic_id: 7230 reply_id: 25438[/import]

I would refactor your code so that the winLose() function is shared by all of your levels. You shouldn’t have a separate function for each level since presumably they are all doing the same thing; write the function once and then use it in all of your levels.

Yea that’s what I’m doing. I just have to change the variable of the OpenFeint Achievement ID Number. That’s the only different thing for each level. [import]uid: 19768 topic_id: 7230 reply_id: 25446[/import]
