Can't fill my Tilemap

[jeromegn]

Hey there,

 

Just starting with Phaser. I've followed some of the examples' code and have ran into some troubles regarding timemaps.

 

I get the following error when using `map.fill`: "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'index' of null" pointing to this:

    fill: function (index, x, y, width, height, layer) {        layer = this.getLayer(layer);        this.copy(x, y, width, height, layer);        if (this._results.length < 2)        {            return;        }        for (var i = 1; i < this._results.length; i++)        {            this._results[i].index = index;        }        this.paste(x, y, this._results, layer);    },

More specifically, line #44265.

 

Here's my own code (in CoffeeScript):

preload = ->  game.load.image("tiles", "/assets/images/tiles_spritesheet.png")  game.load.tilemap('ground', 'assets/platforms.json', null, Phaser.Tilemap.TILED_JSON)create = ->  game.stage.disableVisibilityChange = true  game.stage.scaleMode = Phaser.StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL  game.stage.scale.setShowAll()  game.stage.scale.refresh()  map = game.add.tilemap('ground');  map.addTilesetImage('Premium', 'tiles')  layer = map.createLayer('platforms')  layer.resizeWorld()  map.fill(0, 0, 9, 1, 10)

And then my platforms.json:

{ "height":10, "layers":[        {         "data":[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 69, 57, 45, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 69, 57, 45, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 104, 104, 104, 104, 104, 104, 104, 104, 104, 104],         "height":10,         "name":"platforms",         "opacity":1,         "type":"tilelayer",         "visible":true,         "width":10,         "x":0,         "y":0        }], "orientation":"orthogonal", "properties":    {    }, "tileheight":70, "tilesets":[        {         "firstgid":1,         "image":"\/assets\/images\/tiles_spritesheet.png",         "imageheight":936,         "imagewidth":914,         "margin":0,         "name":"Premium",         "properties":            {            },         "spacing":2,         "tileheight":70,         "tilewidth":70        }], "tilewidth":70, "version":1, "width":10}

Any idea?

 

I think I have all the "names" right. I used to have errors about that, but fixed them.

 

If I inspect `map._results`, I get:

[Object, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, Phaser.Tile, Phaser.Tile, Phaser.Tile, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null]

Seems odd that there would be so many nulls.

 

Using 1.1.5.

If the tile is empty, or has the value 0, then Phaser doesn't create a Tile object for it. This causes quite a few problems with Tilemap's methods like fill, copy and paste as they assume a non-null value.

 

I got around this, using the Tiled editor, by filling the whole map with transparent tiles before adding my other tiles.

Thanks, that was it!

I had the same problem with "putTile" and here is the way i solved it. Go to the  "parseTiledJSON" function in Phaser (1.1.5) and change this condition:

 

if (json.layers.data[t] > 0) to if (json.layers.data[t] >= 0)
