this.createWorld(); inside a state is undefined.

[DWboutin]

Hi,

 

I do the awesome book of Tomas Palef and i got an error. On my main state, after creating all my walls, i have the function "this.createWorld()" who is undefined.

 

Why is it undefined? What does it do exactly? Is it mandatory?

 

Thank you

It means what it says. It's undefined because you have not defined it. Either define a function in the mainState called createWorld, or remove that line of code. It does nothing because it has not been defined. It is not mandatory, it is not a Phaser function.

My guess is the book had a function in there called createWorld but they removed it and forgot to remove the call to it on that line of code.

Ho... i see lol... i was thinking it was a phaser function!

 

thank you

Is "undefined" because this function is being called but not found. 

Check the code should appear there.
