function isValidTexture()
local result, msg = assert(Texture.new(texturepath), "file is not recognised")
print(result, msg)
return result
end
function showTexture()
if isValidTexture() then bmp = Bitmap.new(Texture.new(texturepath)) end
end
Checks if is of type number
local value = 12 --> 12
--local value = "hello" --> *** Friction must be a number ***
assert(type(value) == 'number', "*** Friction must be a number ***")
