Forums » Help » Spawn entity on init Weltmeister Error

So I am getting a very interesting error in the level editor. When trying to edit a level i get this

ig.game.spawnEntity(EntityHealthBar,this.pos.x , this.pos.y,{ Unit: this });

Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'spawnEntity'

However when I load my game I get no error and everything runs just fine?

So far I just comment this section of code when I want to edit and it works however I would like to know what is causing this?

Thanks,

Snake

Well, what does EntityHealthBar inherit from?

Only inherits from ig.Entity

using the extend message like this

ig.Entity.extend({
// MY CODE
})

Oh... I was asleep when reading that before.

The class that Weltmeister uses to replace ig.game is not a standard ig Game object, so it doesn't have methods like spawnEntity.

You can hack them into weltmeister.js, or check that window.wm is defined before calling that line of code.

You probably don't want to spawn that health bar when you're in the editor!?

if( !ig.global.wm ) { // Not in WM?
	ig.game.spawnEntity(EntityHealthBar,this.pos.x , this.pos.y,{ Unit: this })
}

thanks for the quick fix dominic worked like a charm.
