    Reusable code snippets?

    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?
