Hey all i was board again and i wanted to this time go a GE my self from scratch
wat was all fine until i tryed doing this

EG
Perload for firefire


Globle:

X = {};
X.FF = 0;
X.Health = 100;
""

All good but i want to editing the glodle stats with one funtion EG

X.UpdateGS = function(sUpdate)
	X.sUpdate = X.."."..sUpdate;
	X.sUpdate = X.sUpdate+1;
	Label.SetText("Label1", "Health: "..X.Health.." Hunger: "..X.Hunger.." Ammo: "..X.Ammo.." Weapon: "..X.Weapen_Is.." Hidden Gem's: "..X.Hidden_Gems);
end;

Also Tried

X.UpdateGS = function(sUpdate)
        X.U = sUpdates
        X.sUpdate = X.."."..X.U;
	X.sUpdate = LuaX.sUpdate+1;
	Label.SetText("Label1", "Health: "..X.Health.." Hunger: "..X.Hunger.." Ammo: "..X.Ammo.." Weapon: "..X.Weapen_Is.." Hidden Gem's: "..X.Hidden_Gems);
end;

Preload

X.UpdateGE(FF);

How do i get X and sUpdate to = X.FF or X.what eva sUpdate is set as?

Thanks

X.UpdateGS = function(sUpdate)
	if X[sUpdate] then
		X[sUpdate] = X[sUpdate]+1;
		Label.SetText("Label1", "Health: "..X.Health.." Hunger: "..X.Hunger.." Ammo: "..X.Ammo.." Weapon: "..X.Weapen_Is.." Hidden Gem's: "..X.Hidden_Gems);
	end
end;

Lua let's ref the tables in different ways. This is probably not the only way to do it, but its what I'm familiar with.

Another problem where is the best place to stick the states that the game engin will need
X.FF =0;
X.Heath = 100;

so on are not showing in the Lable?

[Worm]

not sure I understand what you are asking.

[rexzooly]

X.Health = 100;
X.Hunger = 0;
X.Ammo = 0;
X.Weapen = 0;
X.Hidden_Gems = 0;
X.FF = 0;

It dose not update unles is X.[sUpdate] ?
I wanted to set them globle so when i have complated the engin people will be able to make games on top of the engine.

If you're saying you want to give them an initial value, then put them in the Global Functions, but not within a function. Or you could put them in a function called InitVars() or something like that.

Line 13 in the Globals, change to

LuaX.Weapen_Is = "None";
