I’m having an issue with my loading of level information when i complete a level. when one level is complete a button becomes visible and when clicked it changes the table to make the next level unlocked. It worked for the first level and showed the first level complete unlocked, but no other levels, my codes below, can anyone see what I’m doing wrong
function levelMod(event)
if (levels[1]) then
levels[1] = 3
levels[2] = 1
composer.gotoScene(event.target 
.destination,{effect=“fade”})
return true
else
composer.gotoScene(event.target.destination,{effect=“fade”})
return true
end
end
nextBtn = display.newText(“Next level”,0,0,“Helvetica”,15)
nextBtn.x=display.screenOriginX+200
nextBtn.y=display.contentHeight-5
nextBtn.destination = “gotoPlay”
nextBtn:addEventListener(“touch”,levelMod)
nextBtn.isVisible = false
sceneGroup:insert(nextBtn)
function gameOver(condition)
if(condition ==“Winner”) then
screenText.text=“Amazing!”;
nextBtn.isVisible= true
elseif(condition ==“Not Bad”) then
screenText.text=“Not To Shabby.”
nextBtn.isVisible = true
elseif (conditon ==“loser”) then
screenText.text=“You Can Do Better.”;
end
end
the gameover function is called from a different function and if winner or not bad then the button becomes visible, then when clicked the button goes to my play file which holds my table with levels. it uses the levelMode function to unlock the levels
local levelsave = require(“levelSave”)
levels = {
1,2,2,2,2,
2,2,2,2,2,
2,2,2,2,2,
}
levels = loadInfo()
images ={
{ getFile=“unlock.png”, types = “play” },
{ getFile=“lock .png”,types = “locked” },
{ getFile=“greenchecked.png”, types = “done” }
}
thats in the main chuck of my play file which sets the table to locked or unlocked
then
saveInfo()
is put in my show event scene.
local json = require(“json”)
function loadInfo()
local base = system.pathForFile(“levels.json”, system.DocumentsDirectory)
local jsoncontents = “”
local levelsArray = {}
local file = io.open(base,“r”)
if file then
local jsoncontents = file:read("*a")
levelsArray = json.decode(jsoncontents);
io.close(file)
return levelsArray
end
return levels
end
function saveInfo()
local base = system.pathForFile(“levels.json”, system.DocumentsDirectory)
local file = io.open(base, “w”)
local jsoncontents = json.encode(levels)
file:write(jsoncontents)
io.close(file)
end
and this is my saving and loading file.
can anyone see whats wrong and why only level one is changed
A quick tip: if you want other people to go through lots of lines of code for you, you need to make it as easy as possible for people to read your code, to have a bigger chance of someone helping.
Case in point, use the “code” button (looks like this: <> ) to open a new window to post your code, and make sure it has the proper indentation. That way your code will look like this:
local lookAtThis = code if (youFormatCodeRight = true) then it will read better end
and not like this:
local lookAtThis = code
if (youFormatCodeRight = true) then
it will read better
end
Which is visual garble, in my opinion.
