Invalid Field Access?

[NullBackspace]

Hello fellow haxeflixel devs,

I ran into an error while running the Neko debug for my game. Here is the error:

Invalid field access : x

Called from PlayState::enemyRandomPlacement line 149

Here is the code in question:

override public function create():Void 

{

super.create();

tileMap = new FlxTilemap();

tileMap.loadMap(Assets.getText("assets/data/map.csv"), AssetPaths.tile1__png, TILE_WIDTH, TILE_HEIGHT, 0, 1);

tileMap.setTileProperties(0, FlxObject.ANY);

tileMap.setTileProperties(1, FlxObject.ANY);

tileMap.setTileProperties(2, FlxObject.NONE);

FlxG.worldBounds.set(0, 0, tileMap.width, tileMap.height);

cameraFocus = new FlxSprite();

cameraFocus.makeGraphic(1, 1, FlxColor.TRANSPARENT);

camera = FlxG.camera;

camera.follow(cameraFocus, FlxCamera.STYLE_LOCKON);

hero = new Player();

//Enemy Addition

grpEnemies = new FlxGroup();

var i:Int = 0;

while (i != FlxRandom.intRanged(5, 8))

{

enemyRandomPlacement(0, 0, 0);

enemyRandomPlacement(0, 0, 1);

i++;

}

//Hero addition

randomPlacement();

//Addition to state

add(tileMap);

add(cameraFocus);

add(hero);

add(movementMarker);

add(grpEnemies);

}

enemyRandomPlacement:

private function enemyRandomPlacement(x:Int, y:Int, etype:Int):Void

{

var enemy:Enemy = new Enemy(x, y, etype);

var emptyTiles:Array<FlxPoint> = tileMap.getTileCoords(2, false);

var randomEmptyTile:FlxPoint = emptyTiles[FlxRandom.intRanged(0, emptyTiles.length)];

enemy.setPosition(randomEmptyTile.x, randomEmptyTile.y);

grpEnemies.add(enemy);

}

I can't figure out what's wrong with it. Any solutions?

Which one is line 149 on enemyRandomPlacement?

[NullBackspace]

Line 84:

enemyRandomPlacement(0, 0, 0);

Line 149:

enemy.setposition(randomEmptyTile.x, randomEmptyTile.y)

Also, the function is similar to the one used in FlxCaveGenerator. It works for the player placement, but for some reason, it does not work for enemies. The error does not always show up too, which is odd.

FlxRandom.intRanged(0, emptyTiles.length) gives you a number between 0 and emptyTiles.length. I guess you're getting the 'emptyTiles.length' number, which is out of bound of emptyTiles. Try calling intRanged(0, length-1).

K I figured it out. I used trace to see what the points were. For some reason, the loop for placing entities kept on going. I placed a break if the counter went over the maximum int. Thanks for the advice though!
