    Hi all, new to using Qt creator/V-play 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 Felgo 3.0
    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 Felgo 3.0
    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.

    Hi,

    your bomb qml file is named Bomb.qml (or is it bomb.qml with lowercase, doesn’t really matter), WITHOUT an s. The name of the qml file equals the classname of that component when used. so in your code it must be

    Bomb {
      // ...
    }

    and not

    Bombs {
      // ...
    }

    That’s why it says Bombs is not a type, because the type you defined is Bomb instead.

    Cheers,
    Alex

    Todd

    Hey Alex, thanks for the quick response.

    So I went in an updated accordingly, and I still get the same error message.

    it is bomb.qml with a lowercase by the way.

    Hi Todd!

    It’s best practice that types in QML start with an uppercase-letter, so I’d recommend using Bomb.qml as the name and use Bomb as type name in your QML code. The type name always matches the filename. One thing that might also be relevant, is that you import the folder where the QML file is placed so you can access the types.

    Can you try again uppercase letter?

    Best,
    Günther

    Todd

    Hey Gunther,

    I went in and updated the QML file with an uppercase B, its now Bomb.qml.

    Im getting these errors

    Hi Todd,
    it should be okay if both the file and the typename you use starts with an uppercase.
    Please try to solve the error by making sure you get a fresh and clean build:
    – Delete the build directory
    – Open your project in Qt Creator
    – Right-click the project in the Project Explorer and select “Clean”
    – Right-click again and select “Run qmake”
    – Build the project

    Does it work now?

    #15090

    Todd

    This might sound like a dumb question but when you say delete the build directory do you mean go into the actual file explorer and delete the project or is that something you do directly in qt creator?

    #15093

    Günther
    Felgo Team

    The build directory is created additionally to the project directory, usually as a neighbour directory of the project.
    In the Qt Creator “Projects” tab, you can view or change the build directory for each build kit. The build directory also contains files from previous builds, because this allows to speed up the build process as e.g. only new or changed files will be rebuilt. You can safely delete this build folder from your file system, as it will be created again with the next build.

    One other thing that might be relevant, is that for type or auto-completion issues, it can help to restart Qt Creator and reopen the project e.g. when you change a type-name, as Qt Creator then reloads all types and autocompletion data.

    Best,
    Günther

    Hey again Gunther…

    So I went in and deleted the files and re built/cleaned them.

    I still continue to get these errors:

    Is it something with my code?

    Todd

    And by the way I was working on this on both my desktop and laptop via onedrive, I dont see why it would be a problem but just thought I’d mention it.

    file:///C:/Users/todd/OneDrive/Company/qml/game/Level.qml:28:3: Bombs is not a type

    Again you are obviously using “Bombs” in your code while your qml files are named “Bomb

    #15106

    Todd

    Alex,

    I set it back to bomb but now I get these

    qt.network.ssl: QSslSocket: cannot resolve TLSv1_1_client_method

    C:\Users\todd\OneDrive\Company\release\FlappyBird.exe exited with code 0

     

    The reason i set it to bombs is because of the flappy bird template has the same thing set as “pipes”

    #15107

    Günther
    Felgo Team

    Hi Todd!

    In the flappy bird game, the QML file is also named Pipes.qml (not Pipe.qml), which is why the name in QML is then Pipes.

    The new error

    file:///C:/Users/todd/OneDrive/Company/qml/entities/Bomb.qml:16:7: id is not unique
    suggests that at there are two items within Bomb.qml that use the same id, which is not allowed. Please choose another id for one of them, for example the id specified at line 16 in Bomb.qml.

    You can also have a look at our Getting Started with QML tutorial to learn more about the basic concepts.

    Best,
    Günther

    Todd

    Thank you… yeah I’ve been looking through tutorials and such so I am learning.

    Now the game runs but the bombs don’t show up for me. 🙁

     

    Ill check out your link later today

    Update,

    I got it working Gunther, thank you for everything
