Reusable code snippets?

Ninjadoodle

Hi guys

How would I go about making reusable code snippets that I can run within scene manager levels to add things that are going to be repeated throughout?

Normally I would create functions and just run them, but since I'm using scene manager I have to use self:addChild … instead of stage:addChild …

When I try to put self:addChild inside a global function or a required lua file, I get an error, as there is no "self" to add the graphics to.

Hopefully this makes sense?

Thank you for any help

Hi @Ninjadoodle

I am not sure i understand what you're trying to achieve vut you could start by passing your scene as an argument.

obj = Sprite.new()   function addObjToScene(scene) scene:addChild(obj) end   function MyScene:init() addObjToScene(self) end   function MyScene2:init() addObjToScene(self) end

Does that cover your needs?

That's pretty much exactly what I meant
Thank you heaps for your help!

I'm still getting my head around how things work in Gideros.

@Ninjadoodle
You're welcome.
I have no doubt that you will find Gideros flexible and powerful.
Good luck with your projects
