If you don't read a tutorial you're going to hit a point where you're unable to get any more help from people directly as you're going to have pissed off everyone who has the potential to help you. You're pretty close to that point

I was already reading the PGE wiki before you said that. And i still am. Now please let me figure out how to layout LuaImageResource.

Misc.resolveFile accepts a filename as a string and returns a filepath as a string.
Graphics.loadImage accepts a filepath as a string and returns a LuaImageResource.
Graphics.drawImage accepts a LuaImageResource and coordinates and draws the image at that location.

LuaImageResource is, as far as you should be concerned, a type, just like boolean/number/table/function. Technically it's userdata, or in B4 a table, but for your purposes just think of it as a type of its own.

function onInputUpdate()
Graphics.loadImage("Hudpics\\score.png")
end

Code: Select all

function onInputUpdate()
Graphics.loadImage("Hudpics\\score.png")
end

function onNPCKill()
	8 + 3
end

I dont rememeber it that much so chances are some of the mistakes i made here might not in my actual code. I cant go and check right now

HUDpics/score should be enclosed in quotes and have a file extension. Right now it's interpreting HUDpics as a variable and score as a variable, and trying to divide HUDpics by score. With quotes, it'll be interpreted as the string of text that you mean for it to be.
That aside, this is some of the most correct LunaLua code you've ever written.

local hudscore = Graphics.loadImage(Misc.resolvefile("HUDpics/score.png))

I was back hours ago but i didnt come to the fourms. This is what it actually looks like.

Code: Select all

local hudscore = Graphics.loadImage(Misc.resolvefile("HUDpics/score.png))

you think you post something but you actually didnt godamnit

You're missing one thing (you started something but never ended it

local hudscore = Graphics.loadImage(Misc.resolvefile("HUDpics/score.png"))

This is valid, correct, and good practice, assuming the file exists. hudscore is now a variable ready to be fed into a function from the Graphics.draw family.

Will it show?

It will show if you draw it in one of the main event loop callbacks.
