I’ve been doing the flappy bird tutorial and once I added the Player.qml. I first got a message file case mismatch so I changed the code link to player { } and the file to player.qml. Now I am getting the message Cannot assign to non-existent property “player”. I can’t seem to get this right. Everything seems to look like the tutorial. Here is the code for main qml (player.qml is in the same directory as main.qml:

 

import Felgo 3.0
import QtQuick 2.0

GameWindow {
      id: gameWindow
      
      activeScene: scene
      screenWidth: 320
      screenHeight: 480
    
      EntityManager {
        id: entityManager
        }

      Scene {
        id: scene
        
            player {
                id: player
                x: 147
                y: 167
            }
      }
}

Any idea how to go forward. I am using Mac OS Yosemite.

This may be a relevant snippet from the Qt documentation: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtqml-documents-definetypes.html#defining-an-object-type-with-a-qml-file

Note: the letter case of the file name is significant on some (notably UNIX) filesystems. It is recommended the file name case matches the case of the desired QML type name exactly - for example, Box.qml and not BoX.qml - regardless of the platform to which the QML type will be deployed.

Try renaming the ‘player.qml’ file to ‘Player.qml’ and matching the filename case in your QML code.

Hi,

thanks Kool for jumping in here. That is correct, please start your qml files with an uppercase letter and use the same spelling in your code.

For your example, use Player.qml and

Player {

}

Cheers,
Alex

I had thought that was the case too.

I tried:

Player {
}

with Player.qml

Then I tried player.qml with

player{
}

Neither seems to work. I so I tried keeping deleting the debug folder and them renaming it back to Player.qml and use Player{.

I completely restarted qt and it seemed to work. So I’m not sure exactly what’s going on since I tried those already.

Thanks for clearing that up though.
