I'm having issues trying to concatenate a variable with a string.
This is my code:
This code alone already gives me the error: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'monster' (a string value).
Then I tried str(monster) but gives me the error: attempt to call global 'str' (a nil value).
When I check for the type of the variable monster it returns me string.
The reason I need this is because the game has a left and a right pattern and I'd like to use only one function to check for both patterns.
How may I concatenate it properly?
Thanks!
This is my code:
function checkMonster(monster)
monsterFacingLeft = Pattern(monster + "-left.png")
monsterFacingRight = Pattern(monster + "-right.png")
end
