    TNTVirtualPad Error

    twisttaptwisttap Member
    edited January 2013 in General questions
    I am getting

    scene_main init
    The supplied index is out of bounds.
    stack traceback:

    error constantly from TNTvirtualpad and cant solve for about an hour now.
    What I have is
    main = Core.class(Sprite)
 
local vPad
 
local function is32bit()
	return string.dump(is32bit):byte(9) == 4
end
 
if is32bit() then
	require("Helper/tntvpad32")
else
	require("Helper/tntvpad64")
end
 
 
 
 
 
function main:init()
	self.name = "scene_main"
	print(self.name .." init")
 
	vPad = CTNTVirtualPad.new(self, "Assets/vpad",  PAD.STICK_SINGLE, PAD.BUTTONS_FOUR, 20, 0)
 
	vPad:setJoyStyle(PAD.COMPO_LEFTPAD, PAD.STYLE_MOVABLE)
	vPad:setPosition(PAD.COMPO_LEFTPAD, 100, 100)
	vPad:start()
 
 
 
 
 
	-- World & DebugDraw
	_WORLD = b2.World.new(0, 9.8, true)
	_DEBUGDRAW = b2.DebugDraw.new()
	_WORLD:setDebugDraw(_DEBUGDRAW)
 
...
    Anyone knows why ?

      Also the folders are properly adjusted, I am using the default gfx from tnt and vpad txt is:


      tntvpad_analogpad.png, 0, 0, 64, 64, 0, 0, 0, 0
      tntvpad_base.png, 64, 0, 94, 94, 0, 0, 0, 0
      tntvpad_buttondown.png, 0, 64, 64, 64, 0, 0, 0, 0
      tntvpad_buttonup.png, 158, 0, 64, 64, 0, 0, 0, 0

      Hm, just a guess without looking at the code too deeply. But what if you try changing the layer to 1, or anything greater than 0?

      I'm curious if maybe it's trying to add at position 0 with the layerIndex parameter.

      I tried various levels there from 0 to 3 but produces' the same result.

      I just tested quick and if I used 0 I got the same error, so that seems to be it. When this was originally made you could add a child to position 0, I believe, which later @atilim updated to work more like lua tables so 1 is first.

      Interesting it's up to 3, without seeing the actual code behind the scenes, I'm not sure what's happening, but @GregBUG might be interested in checking it out cause it could just be a minor usability bug.

      I think it is the layer level of the created levels. I have
      stage and top of that main layer which 1 seems logical.

      yes.

      init function is

      function CTNTVirtualPad:init(parent, textureFileName, padSticks, padButtons, borderSpace, layerIndex)

      where parent is sprite parent ex: stage
      and layerIndex is the layer level of parent.

      every pad component is added
      using addChilAt(parent, layerIndex)

      so you can control your vpad layer level.

      try example 2 of vpad
      and play with:

      back is layer 1 on stage
      carro is layer 2 on stage
      and vpad is layer 3 on stage

      as is in the example the "carro" sprite is "under" vpad (vpad is level 3 top)
      change vpad:init with level 2 and carros is over vpad...

      hope it help...

      Hello again, I am still having an error on this issue.
      I have two layers added to stage: grid Layer(which will be removed later) and main layer
      and on main layer I have the TNTvirtual pad.

      I am using
      vPad = CTNTVirtualPad.new(stage, "Assets/tntskinpad", PAD.STICK_SINGLE, PAD.BUTTONS_FOUR, 30,2)

      to add vpad but it is somehow adding the pads behind the other layers on main.lua
      (I am using 1.30 version of it) and since I dont have the option to add the vpad manually anyone have a solution for this ?

      The solution I found is: I am creating a third layer named uiLayer which is a empty sprite, adding it to the stage above main.lua and I add the vPad with
      vPad = CTNTVirtualPad.new(uiLayer, "Assets/tntskinpad",  PAD.STICK_SINGLE, PAD.BUTTONS_FOUR, 30,1)
      but I don't want to use this little "hack" to use vPad. :)

      @twisttap

      you "hack" is not that bad.... :)

      anyway another solution is:
      ------ main.lua -----	
	self:addChild(bg1)
	self:addChild(newlevel)
	self:addChild(bg2)
 
	vPad = CTNTVirtualPad.new(self, "Assets/tntskinpad",  PAD.STICK_SINGLE, PAD.BUTTONS_FOUR, 30,4)	
	vPad:setTextures(PAD.COMPO_BUTTON1, "buttona.png", "buttonb.png")
 
	vPad:setJoyStyle(PAD.COMPO_LEFTPAD, PAD.STYLE_CLASSIC)
	vPad:setPosition(PAD.COMPO_LEFTPAD, 100, 200)
 
---------
      adding vpad after bg1, newlevel and bg2 and assign layer 4 on vpad...

      just tested on camera2 sources and work... :)

      but i like more your hack...

      Actually, I decided to use that method to inlude all my UI with it. Seems more healty to me on the long run and also it is better to seperate the actual game with the UI layer.
      But thanks anyway @gregbug :)
