OK, so I’ve been doing a lot of research in order to fix my problem I have with “loadsave.lua”. Can’t seem to know what’s going on, or find a solution. The answer is probably so simple, but can’t see it. So here’s what I’m doing. If settings.lua doesn’t exist then create it. The problem I have is when I try to save a new value, it completely writes over the table with a single value, like a number
I have my main.lua
loadSave = require(‘loadsave’)
myData = loadSave.loadTable(“settiings.json”)
–
– body
display.setStatusBar( display.HiddenStatusBar )
local composer = require(‘composer’)
–composer.gotoScene( “levelSelect” )
–local fonts = native.getFontNames( )
–for i,fontname in ipairs(fonts) do
– print(fonts[i])
–end
function main( … )
if (myData == nil) then
local m = {}
m.settings = {}
m.settings.unlockedLevels = 1
m.settings.FXVolume = 50
m.settings.musicVolume = 100
m.settings.levels = {}
m.settings.levels[1] = {}
m.settings.levels[1].globes = 0
m.settings.shadedGlobe = 4
loadSave.saveTable(m, “settings.json” )
end
composer.gotoScene( ‘levelSelect’ )
end
main()
**********************************
So I’m able to save a “settings.json” in system.DocumentsDirectory. Which looks like this.
******settings.json**********
{“maxLevels”:25,“settings”:{“shadedGlobe”:4,“levels”:[{“globes”:0}],“FXVolume”:50,“unlockedLevels”:1,“musicVolume”:100},“currentLevel”:1}
**************************
In my levelSelect, I have an options button which takes me to an options overlay. I’m able to get the file and read its values from settings.json. For example this is what I’m trying to do
***********options.lua**************
local settings = loadSave.loadTable(“settings.json”)
local soundFXButton = widget.newSlider( {
label = “FX”,
id = “FX”,
width = 100,
height = 20,
listener = FXListener,
value = settings.FXVolume ** able to get value from settings.json
} )
********trying to change value of settings.FXVolume and save it.
function FXListener( event )
– body
local sliderValue = event.value
local logValue
if (“ended” == event.phase) then
logValue = sliderValue
settings.FXVolume = logValue
loadSave.saveTable(settings.FXVolume,“settings.json”)
end
I’ve tried different ways of writing it with no luck. It just erases the table and puts the single value of settings.FXVolume.
Any help would be appreciated.
