local drop1= timer.performWithDelay( 1500, drop, -1 )

what is the -1 that you are passing to the timer.performWithDelay function??

cheers,

-1 is for infinite loop… [import]uid: 82446 topic_id: 15496 reply_id: 57256[/import]

Well, if you need to check what is the breakpoint, you have to have an infinite loop.

BTW, the numbers + or - do not matter, but Rahul, for not understand how to test, you are off my list for help.

try removing “if drpimg.remove” condition. also you may consider changing the drpimg to local.so that there will be individual handle for each display item added.

I tried the below code and its working fine.
[lua]local physics = require(“physics”)
physics.start()
physics.setGravity(0,9.8)

local jumpPlatform = display.newRect( 10, 350, 360, 5 )
physics.addBody( jumpPlatform, “static” )
jumpPlatform.myName = “Ground”

function drop()
local drpimg = display.newCircle(150,120,10)
drpimg.x= math.random(10,1000)
drpimg.y=-10
drpimg.myName = “Drop”
physics.addBody( drpimg, { density=0.9, friction=0.3} )

function drpimg:collision (event)
if event.other.myName == “Ground” then
print “Drop hit the Ground!”
drpimg:removeSelf()
end
end

drpimg:addEventListener(“collision”, drpimg)
end

local drop1= timer.performWithDelay( 1500, drop, -1 )[/lua] [import]uid: 71210 topic_id: 15496 reply_id: 57271[/import]

Thanks Buddy for the reply but I dont know how it started running without any modifications. [import]uid: 82446 topic_id: 15496 reply_id: 57559[/import]

Glad to hear you got it sorted, just moved this into a more relevant forum :slight_smile: [import]uid: 84637 topic_id: 15496 reply_id: 57855[/import]
