Hai, I was making a background for something, and paintutils.loadImage won't return anything, nor will it load my image. I looked on the Wiki and all it said is this.

So I guess what I'm asking for is… Why isn't it loading my image?

The code I experimented with:

Spoiler


local function loadImage()
paintutils.loadImage(".loadback")
end
loadImage()

Putting a function in your own non returning function, will obviously result in it not returning a value…

Also, you do understand that paintutils.loadImage just loads it (returns it loaded into a table) and doesn't draw it? You have to use paintutils.drawImage to draw it.

~~Are you serious?~~

EDIT: I don't even know why I did that… [facepalm]MKlegoman357[/facepalm] Sorry about that LeGoldFish
