createMultiple not working for groups

[marros1812]

ok so I am trying to make weapons that my player can use to attack enemies. I've been following this http://thoughts.amphibian.com/2015/11/attacking-enemies-in-my-phaser.html.

 

When I go to run my game I am getting an error: Uncaught TypeError: weapons.createMultiple is not a function

 

As far as I can see that shouldn't be a problem, according to the docs, createMultiple should work, any ideas?

Show us your code - I suspect weapons is not what you expect it to be. You can also just do console.log(weapons) just before where your problem is and see what type of object weapons is referring to.

This is the code that I have at the beginning, the error is happening on the second line

weapons = game.add.group;weapons.createMultiple(3, 'sword', 0, false);

[CtlAltDel]

game.add.group();

[marros1812]

game.add.group(); this doesn't seem to work

[CtlAltDel]

http://phaser.io/examples/v2/groups/create-sprite-in-a-group

 

so it should work.

as far as I can see it makes the group fine but it says that weapons.createMultiple isn't a function, but it is, it should work as far as I can see.

It's definitely game.add.group() with the parentheses as CtrlAltDel points out. What happens if you do console.log(weapons) after you create the group? You should have an instance of c.Group, and in its __proto__ property (it inherits from b.DisplayObjectContainer) should be the createMultiple function.
