I’m pretty sure I understand now but for some reason it’s still not working.
I changed the .lua file name so it is now lowercase (world1level1.lua)
Here’s what my levels.lua looks like:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
-- levels.lua
--
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
local storyboard = require( "storyboard" )
local widget = require "widget"
local scene = storyboard.newScene()
-- Table to hold level buttons
local levels = {}
-- 'onRelease' event listener for playBtn
local function buttonRelease(event)
storyboard.level = event.target.id
-- go to levels scene
storyboard.gotoScene( "world"..storyboard.world.."level"..storyboard.level )
--^^^ Part that matters^^^---
return true -- indicates successful touch
end
-- Called when the scene's view does not exist:
function scene:createScene( event )
local group = self.view
local background = display.newImageRect("background.png",480,320)
background.x = 240; background.y = 160
group:insert(background)
-- create 20 buttons to choose the level
for i=0,3 do
for j=1,5 do
current = i\*5 + j -- This calculates the current position in the table
levels[current] = widget.newButton{
label=current,
id=current,
default = "button.png",
width=64, height=64,
onRelease = buttonRelease -- event listener function
}
levels[current].x = 45 + (j\*65)
levels[current].y = 60+ (i\*65)
-- If you are using the last publicly available version of Corona, you may
-- need to replace the following line with:
-- group:insert( levels[current].view )
group:insert( levels[current] )
end
end
end
-- Called immediately after scene has moved onscreen:
function scene:enterScene( event )
local group = self.view
-- INSERT code here (e.g. start timers, load audio, start listeners, etc.)
end
-- Called when scene is about to move offscreen:
function scene:exitScene( event )
local group = self.view
-- INSERT code here (e.g. stop timers, remove listenets, unload sounds, etc.)
end
-- If scene's view is removed, scene:destroyScene() will be called just prior to:
function scene:destroyScene( event )
local group = self.view
for i=#levels,1,-1 do
if levels[i] then
levels[i]:removeSelf() -- widgets must be manually removed
levels[i] = nil
end
end
end
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- END OF YOUR IMPLEMENTATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- "createScene" event is dispatched if scene's view does not exist
scene:addEventListener( "createScene", scene )
-- "enterScene" event is dispatched whenever scene transition has finished
scene:addEventListener( "enterScene", scene )
-- "exitScene" event is dispatched whenever before next scene's transition begins
scene:addEventListener( "exitScene", scene )
-- "destroyScene" event is dispatched before view is unloaded, which can be
-- automatically unloaded in low memory situations, or explicitly via a call to
-- storyboard.purgeScene() or storyboard.removeScene().
scene:addEventListener( "destroyScene", scene )
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
return scene
I have my world1level1.lua along with all the files needed to run it in the same folder as this tutorials files.
I’ve also tried to use a variable
local function buttonRelease(event)
storyboard.level = event.target.id
-- go to levels scene
local where = "world"..storyboard.world.."level"..storyboard.level
storyboard.gotoScene(where)
--^^^ Part that matters^^^---
return true -- indicates successful touch
end
I feel like I’m missing something simple.
