Lua Coding

ok what do i do after this

We will add some controls now enter this
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This moves the car up and down
-----------------------------------------------------------------

if pad:up() then
character = car1
player.y = player.y - 2
end

if pad:down() then
character = car1
player.y = player.y + 2
end

-----------------------------------------------------------------
This moves the car left and right
-----------------------------------------------------------------
if pad:left() then
character = car1
player.x = player.x - 2
end

if pad:right() then
character = car1
player.x = player.x + 2
end

------------------------------------------------------------------
Enter that in to your code

ok its in my code now...what next

Now save as script.lua

And run it

it says error: script.lua:7: Image.load: Error loading image.

aahhhhh you have your first error do you have both of the images i posted here

This is the error here

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Room_width = 480
Room_height = 272
player1x = 15
player1y = 136
road=Image.load("images/weapon.PNG")
background=weapon
car1=Image.load("images/car1.PNG")
player1=car1


What you need to do is remove the word images on both of them just remove the word images nothing else

yea i noticed that but it still says i have an error on line seven. this is what i have in my script

Room_width = 480
Room_height = 272
player1x = 15
player1y = 136
weapon=Image.load("weapon.PNG")
background=weapon
car1=Image.load("car1.PNG")
player1=car1

do you have both of the images i posted on this site
save them as PNG

Save the background as weapon.PNG

and the car as car1.PNG

ok i got that to work...now when i run it it tells me
errors: script.lua:12: attempt to index global 'pad' (a nil value)

for me line 12 is
player.y = player.y - 2

Post your whole script here
