Question

Problem

Installed

• IntelliJ 11.1.1,
• Lua for Windows (5.1),
• Corona SDK,
• Corona API from https://bitbucket.org/sylvanaar2/idlua-sdk-corona

Auto completion not working properly.

It displays e.g. physics, but not e.g. physics.addBody, as shown in this screenshot

Any ideas?

Answer 1

I’ve been having the same trouble. The only way I could get it to work is by splitting the API file into separate files and creating a module for each.

So you’d open up the corona_api.lua, and copy all of the physics functions into a new file called “physics” then inside this file you should do something like this;

module "physics"
function  addBody() end
function  getGravity() end
function  newJoint() end
function  pause() end
and so on...

you can find and replace the physics. at the start of the functions to make life easier.
