Variable value update

Games
#1

hello corona community, i need help urgently, i need to update the value of one variable but i have some doubts about that.

 function new  
--require physics etc  
  
--big pausegame function  
  
--big startgame function  
  
--and it is the importante part, my active default value is 0 but when i touch on the ball i need to change the variavel active value to 1 because of the if loop  
 local that = function ()  
 local active = 0  
 physics.start( true )  
 physics.setDrawMode( "normal" )   
 physics.setGravity( 0,0 )  
  
 local ball1 = display.newCircle( 80, 120, 20 )   
 ball1:setFillColor( 0, 255, 0 )   
 physics.addBody(ball1,"kinematic", { density=2, bounce=0.3, radius=25});  
 ball1.x = 250; ball1.y = 200  
 game\_objects:insert( ball1 )  
  
 local ball\_func = function()  
  
 function ball1:touch( event )  
  
 if(event.phase == "ended") then  
 active = active + 1  
 ball1.bodyType="dynamic"   
 physics.setGravity (0,9.8)  
 end  
 end  
 ball1:addEventListener( "touch", ball1 )  
 end  
  
 ball\_func()  
  
  
  
 if active == 0 then  
 pausegame()  
 elseif active == 1 then  
 startgame()   
 end  
 end  
  
 that()  
 return game\_objects  
end

i really want to know how i can make it, because will very importante to my game and future games.

you trying do check variable upon object creation or function call, but its not gonna work this way

maybe this solution can help, i didnt think about it much thou
[lua]active = 0
local function foo()
local group = display.newGroup()

local ball = display.newCircle(0,0,50)
group:insert(ball)
local function touch(event)
if event.phase == “ended” then
active = active + 1
print(active)
end
if active > 10 then
print(“over 10”)
end
end

function act()
if active == 2 then
print(“two”)
end
end

ball:addEventListener(“touch”, touch)

Runtime:addEventListener(“touch”, act)

return group
end

local obj = foo()[/lua] [import]uid: 16142 topic_id: 15823 reply_id: 58466[/import]
