Lua waypoints

Hey everyone, I've been having some trouble on this little project I've been working on. I am new to Lua and mobile game designing in general, but that isn't the issue on hand. What I'm trying to accomplish is a waypoint system, the best example I could give would be like a tower defense game. The enemies move on a certain path or to waypoints. I have my arrays.

1 2	wp_x = { 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 } wp_y = { 100, 80, 60, 40, 20 }

1	transition.to(enem, { time = 2500, x=wp_x[2], y=wp_y[2] })

if enem.x == wp_x[1] then enem.x = wp_x[2] end

Hi.

i tried something.
perhaps it helps you.

-- waypoint test
-- 110318,sidasa
 
--local start_x = 0
--local start_y = 0
 
-- variables
local start_x = display.contentWidth/2
local start_y = display.contentHeight/2
 
local i = 0
 
wp_x = { 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 }
wp_y = { 100, 80, 60, 40, 20 }
 
 
-- show image
enemy = display.newImage("enemy.png")
enemy.x = start_x
enemy.y = start_y
 
 
-- move image to next waypoint
local function nextWaypoint ()
        transition.to( enemy, { x=wp_x[i], y=wp_y[i] } )
end
 
 
local function touched ( event )
        print( "i: " .. i ) -- console test output
        if event.phase == "ended" then
                i = i+1
                nextWaypoint()
        end
end
 
Runtime:addEventListener("touch", touched)

Ok, this is hilarious, but please take this lightly.

My definition of waypoint way off..

See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZ_AH4Iy-z4

A waypoint is commonly associated with GPS for inclusion of longitude, latitude and altitude.

So when I read the forum titile, then @amf.studios entry "am new to lua" .... and I been working with objects along a bezier path, here I was, oh, cool maybe I get motivated to do my bez example like the video above.

LOL !

I thought it was funny.
