Lua problems... Don't bother to read.

Use the debugger to step through?

The main loop in the engine?

[MarauderIIC]

Yeah, since you said it's not working in the engine either.

I'm curious as to how exactly your map system works. Are you not actually reading in your maps and storing them in some sort of array? Are you actually parsing through the map file in-game?

[PixelP]

Yeah, since you said it's not working in the engine either.

Code: Select all

void ToFile(char msg[40]) {
    Debug << msg << std::endl;
    Debug.flush();
}

if(y > 1) {
            Log("start");
            Map.close();
            Log("end");   
        }

I got alot of start/end in my debug.txt.

//globals.h
std::fstream Map;
char map_name[40];

//lua.h
int KillMap(lua_State* L) {
	Map.close();
	return 1;
}

int SetMap(lua_State* L) {
	strcpy(map_name, lua_tostring(L, -1));
	Map.open(map_name, std::fstream::in);
	return 1;
}

//level.h
void LevelClass::MapTiles() {
	//layer 1
	for(int j=0;j<18;j++) {
		for(int i=0;i<18;i++) {
			Map >> LevelMap1[j][i];                  
		}
	}
	
	//layer 2
	for(int j=0;j<18;j++) {
		for(int i=0;i<18;i++) {
			Map >> LevelMap2[j][i];
		}
	}

		for(int i=0;i<18;i++) {
			Map >> LevelMap3[j][i];
		}
	}
}

Reading all this again, it looks like perhaps your coordinates aren't updating properly.

Evidenced by ytile == 1 working and player starts at 1, 1. But doesn't work when you change == to >. And the condition is hit, every frame, judging by "before/after includes" output.

The coordinates do update properly.
I can do like:

Code: Select all

if(ytile > 1) {
    SetPlayerYX(5, 5);
}

I won't need any more help with this... coz I'm going to lay my game structure in another way... thanks for all replys anyway.
