LÖVE

Hello. This is my first post on the Love2D forums. I have a game I'm working on and in the game you can throw knives at enemies. When you throw knives at walls they are supposed to move 8 pixels in the direction of the wall and destroy the body to give the illusion that the knife has sunk into the wall. Instead, it just sits infront of the wall and does nothing. Here is the video of the bug:

Here is my code (knife.lua):

Knife = {img = love.graphics.newImage("map/knife_textures/knife_texture1.png")}
Knife.__index = Knife

Knife.width = 16
Knife.height = 16

ActiveKnifes = {}

require("enemy")
require("player")

function Knife.new(x, y, direction)
local instance = setmetatable({}, Knife)
instance.x = x
instance.y = y
instance.r = -90
instance.destroyed = false
instance.direction = direction

instance.physics = {}
instance.physics.body = love.physics.newBody(World, instance.x, instance.y, "dynamic")
instance.physics.shape = love.physics.newRectangleShape(instance.width, instance.height)
instance.physics.fixture = love.physics.newFixture(instance.physics.body, instance.physics.shape)
instance.physics.fixture:setUserData("Knife")
instance.scaleX = 1
if direction == "left" then
instance.scaleX = -1
instance.r = 90
end
instance.physics.body:setGravityScale(0)
table.insert(ActiveKnifes, instance)

return instance
end



function Knife:update(dt)
if self.physics.body:isDestroyed() == false then
self:syncPhysics()
end
end

function Knife:syncPhysics()
if self.physics.body:isDestroyed() == false then
self.x, self.y = self.physics.body:getPosition()
if self.scaleX == -1 then
self.r = self.r - 0.5
elseif self.scaleX == 1 then
self.r = self.r + 0.5
end
if self.direction == "left" then
self.physics.body:setLinearVelocity(-500, 0)
elseif self.direction == "right" then
self.physics.body:setLinearVelocity(500, 0)
end
end
end

function Knife:draw()
if self.physics.body:isDestroyed() == false then
love.graphics.draw(self.img, self.x, self.y, self.r, self.scaleX, 1, self.width / 2, self.height / 2)
end
end

function Knife.updateAll()
for i, v in ipairs(ActiveKnifes) do
v:update(dt)
end
end

function Knife.drawAll()
for i, v in ipairs(ActiveKnifes) do
v:draw()
end
end

function Knife:beginContact(a, b, collision)
if self.physics.body:isDestroyed() == false then
local nx, ny = collision:getNormal()
if a:getUserData() ~= "Knife" and b:getUserData() ~= "Knife" and a ~= Player.physics.fixture and b ~= Player.physics.fixture then
if b:getUserData() == "Enemy" or b:getUserData() == "Box" or b:getUserData() == "Crate" then
for i,v in ipairs(ActiveKnifes) do
if v == self then
table.remove(ActiveKnifes, i)
end
end
if b:getUserData() == "Enemy" then
love.audio.newSource("sound_effects/StabSound.mp3", "static"):play()
end
elseif a:getUserData() == "Enemy" or a:getUserData() == "Box" or a:getUserData() == "Crate" then
for i,v in ipairs(ActiveKnifes) do
if v == self then
table.remove(ActiveKnifes, i)
end
end
if a:getUserData() == "Enemy" then
love.audio.newSource("sound_effects/StabSound.mp3", "static"):play()
end
end
if self.scaleX == 1 then
self.x = self.x + 8
elseif self.scaleX == -1 then
self.x = self.x - 8
end
self.physics.body:destroy()
end
end
end

function Knife:removeAll()
ActiveKnifes = {}
end

return {
Knife = Knife,
ActiveKnifes = ActiveKnifes
}

nevermind i fixed it

Great! Also please consider using [ code ] tags in the future so we can help you easier.

ok i will make sure to do that next time
