[quote="kingslovelua"]Hey I stuck on a couple of things in my project.
[code]
zombie = {}
function spawnZombies()
for i=1,10 do --Replace 10 with number of enemies you want
zombies[#zombies+1]={
x = math.random(0,728),
y = math.random(0,428),
}
end
end
function zombie:init()
self.timer = 0
self.spawnTime = 3
end
function zombie:update( dt )
self.timer = self.timer + dt
if self.timer > self.spawnTime then
spawnZombies() -- his code
self.timer = 0
end
-- update anything else enemy related here
end
[/code]
and [code]
enemy = {}
function enemy:init()
self.table = {} -- stores the single enemys later
self.timer = 0 -- use with spawntimer
self.spawnTime = 3 -- time when the next enemy should spawn
end
[/code]
Then I create a function to generate a new enemy. This create a table into the self.table( self = enemy / the name of the global table ) for the enemy.
[code]
function enemy:new( x, y, xvel ) -- to use self you have to type a " : " to say that you want to use the self.
local temp = {
x = x,
y = y,
w = 32,
h = 64,
xvel = xvel,
}
table.insert( self.table, temp )
end
[/code]
Now you have to update the spawn and the enemy itself( here is just the spawner ).
[code]
function enemy:update( dt )
self.timer = self.timer + dt
if self.timer > self.spawnTime then
enemy:new( math.random( -200, width + 200 ) , height - 64 , 150 ) -- math.random for a different position everytime you spawn an enemy
self.timer = 0
end
-- update anything else enemy related here
end
[/code]
yeah, and now there is only one thing left to do. Draw all enemys.
the ipairs goes through the full self.table ( enemy.table = stores the single enemys ). v is the value of a single enemy, i is the index ( the position of the enemy in the self.table )
[code]
function enemy:draw()
for i, v in ipairs( self.table ) do
lg.setColor( 0, 0, 255 )
lg.rectangle( "line", v.x, v.y, v.w, v.h )
end
end
[/code]
But I don't know if I'm doing it wrong or the code is out dated
but for some reason I can't get it to work ??
and then for reason I can't get my audio to work out the way I want it to I have one audio file for the menu and other for in game which i set up as
[code]function audioLoad()
if gameState == "menu" then
music = love.audio.newSource("sounds/menuMusic.mp3", "stream")
love.audio.setVolume(4.0)
love.audio.play(music)
end
if gameState == "playing" then
musicInGame = love.audio.newSource("sounds/inGameMusic.mp3", "stream")
love.audio.setVolume(4.0)
love.audio.play(musicInGame)
love.audio.stop(music)
end
end
[/code]
