crystal.assets.set_directories

Sets the location of asset directories.

When the game starts or is hot reloaded, Crystal loads all .lua files within the game directory. While this is useful to load all the source code for the game, it can also pull maps, spritesheets or test data that is not relevant to start the game. To avoid this, you should call this function once in "main.lua" and specify where your game assets are stored. Crystal will then only load assets when requested via crystal.assets.get or crystal.assets.load.

Usage

crystal.assets.set_directories(directories)

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
directories	table	List of directory paths (relative to main.lua) where assets are stored.

Examples

-- In main.lua
require("crystal");

crystal.assets.set_directories({ "assets/", "test-data/" });
