Thanks to all of you for the help.
I wasn't aware of var = not var, so I'm using it.

I wanted to create a function that can change any boolean variable, if true make it false and the other way around. So I came up with this: local test = true function switch_boolean(var) if var then var = false else var = true end end function love.keypressed(key) if key == "<" then switch...

I was going crazy and only because I wasn't taking into account that it was in a function with an argument that had the same name. I feel stupid, but I also learned something. Thank you so much!
Now it works.

It refers to: for i,v in ipairs(button.activeId) do The strange part is, that I us...

Thanks for the help. I'll try out strict.lua

Thank you for your response, MrFariator! As you can see I'm a beginner with coding and I'm learning empirically, so I appreciate the valuable feedback. Well, on line 638 you try to compare value posX to mouse position, and this value is somehow nil. You could potentially check that the relevant vari...

But I hope the community can help me figure it o...

Thanks! That solved my problem!
And thanks to the other replies for their input!

Your object and your blueprint are now the same data entity, and you're editing your blueprint by proxy. You should copy data over from blueprints to your new objects. Thank you for your answer. I learned something new. I have been searching on how to copy tables but I can't find anything that work...

I have the following problem: I created a table for blueprints of objects I want to use in my game (sapceships, etc). Every blueprint has an image. Once I need a new object I create it by loading the data of one of the blueprints into the table for objects. When I assign the same blueprint (thus the...
