Keep receiving type errors

ToddPocock

Hi all, new to using Qt creator so bare with me please....

So I am trying to make a unlimited running platformer, like flappy bird. I am actually using a V-play template to make this game.

I am trying to add bombs into the space that continue to randomly run onto the screen and you must avoid them with your plane.

I keep getting a type error message when i attempt to put the bomb into the scene, here is the code
(Level.qml)

import VPlay 2.0
import QtQuick 2.0
import "../entities"
import "../common"

Item {
    id: level

    Background {
        anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
        y: scene.gameWindowAnchorItem.y+scene.gameWindowAnchorItem.height-height
    }

    BorderElement {
        x: scene.gameWindowAnchorItem.x
        y: scene.gameWindowAnchorItem.y-20
        width: scene.gameWindowAnchorItem.width
        height: 20
    }

    BorderElement {
        y: ground.y
        x: scene.gameWindowAnchorItem.x
        width: scene.gameWindowAnchorItem.width
        height: 20
    }

    Bombs {
        id: bombs1
        delay: 0
    }

    Bombs {
        id: bombs2
        delay: 1.5
    }

    Ground {
        id: ground
        anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
        y: scene.gameWindowAnchorItem.y+scene.gameWindowAnchorItem.height-height
    }

    function reset() {
        bombs1.reset()
        bombs2.reset()
        ground.reset()
    }

    function stop() {
        bombs1.stop()
        bombs2.stop()
        ground.stop()
    }

    function start() {
        bombs1.start()
        bombs2.start()
    }
}

(bomb.qml)

import VPlay 2.0
import QtQuick 2.0

EntityBase {
    id: bombElement
    width: 40
    height: 40


    property int variationDistance: 70
    property double delay: 0

    MultiResolutionImage {
        id: bomb
        source: "../../assets/img/bomb.png"

    }

    BoxCollider {
        id: collider
        width: bomb.width
        height: bomb.height
        anchors.centerIn: bomb
        bodyType: Body.Static
        collisionTestingOnlyMode: true
        fixture.onBeginContact: {
            player.gameOver()
        }
    }



    MovementAnimation {
        id: animation
        target: parent
        property: "x"
        velocity: -150
        running: true
        minPropertyValue: scene.gameWindowAnchorItem.x-bombElement.width*1.5
        onLimitReached: {
            reset()
        }
    }

    function generateRandomValueBetween(minimum, maximum) {
        return Math.random()*(maximum-minimum) + minimum
    }

    function reset() {
        bombElement.x = scene.gameWindowAnchorItem.width+bombElement.width/2
        bombElement.y = generateRandomValueBetween(-variationDistance, variationDistance)-scene.height/3
    }

    function start() {
        delayTimer.restart()
    }

    function stop() {
        animation.stop()
        delayTimer.stop()
    }

    Timer {
        id: delayTimer
        interval: delay*1000
        repeat: false
        onTriggered: {
            animation.start()
        }
    }

    Component.onCompleted: {
        reset()
    }
}

These are the error messages.

@ToddPocock Looks like you are missing some of the QML types. Either their plugin is not properly installed or may be you need some more import's.
Refer to their documentation.

@ToddPocock
Looks like a typo to me?

You're referring "Bombs" (with an s at the end), but your QML is called "bomb.qml".
Strip the "s" and I think you'll be fine...
