Hello , guys

this day after i fixed the embed tile now i had another problem
and this problem is so strange for me

i couldnt solve it

the first thing that i was watching a vid for how to make a collision for the wall / player i put these codes :

1
2

wf = require 'windfield'
  world = wf.newWorld(0 ,0)

this code for including the windfield folder for the love2d file after it i put this code for making a collider

1
2

player.collider = world:newBSGRectangleCollider(400 , 250 , 50 , 100 , 10)
  player.collider:setFixedRotation(true)

then i put this code i think it is for loading the collision for the walls / player
and this code who gave me an error after i run it but i will give you the other codes to understand the problem well

walls = {}
    if map.layers['walls'] then
      for i, obj in pairs(map.layers['walls'].objects) do
        local wall = world:newRectangleCollider(obj.x , obj.y , obj.width , obj.height)
        wall:setType('static')
        table.insert(walls , wall)
      end
    end
end

then i put this code i think it is for setting the simple collision at the position ( 0, 0)

1
2

local vx = 0 
  local vy = 0

then i put to the row of the player movement code these codes :

1
2
3
4

vx = player.speed
vx = player.speed * -1
vy = player.speed
vy = player.speed * -1

then i put this code for setting a velocity to the player collider

player.collider:setLinearVelocity(vx , vy)

then i added this code for updating the world and for setting the position x / position y for the player collider

1
2
3

world:update(dt)
   player.x = player.collider:getX()
   player.y = player.collider:getY()

then i put this code at the end to draw the world

world:draw()

and at the end of all of this i got this error and i really dont know what i should modify to make my love2d project work

Error

windfield/init.lua:745: Box2D assertion failed: area > b2_epsilon


Traceback

note : this code isnt compeleted it is just for loading the collisons to the wall / player

illegal

note : while i was watching the vid i went to tiled and i added an object and i called it walls then i went to ground layer to draw the wall then i went to walls object to select the wall by insert rectangle tool in tiled then after i selected the rectangle wall by insert rectangle tool i exported the file as lua and i already have the code that loads the map then i got the error ^^^^

i hope anyone to solve it

1. Please check the obj. values (negative height/width or nil or similiar???)

walls = {}
    if map.layers['walls'] then
      for i, obj in pairs(map.layers['walls'].objects) do
	--[[
		PLEASE ADD HERE:
	]]--
	print(obj.x)
	print(obj.y)
	print(obj.width)
	print(obj.height)
        local wall = world:newRectangleCollider(obj.x , obj.y , obj.width , obj.height)
        wall:setType('static')
        table.insert(walls , wall)
      end
    end
end

2. Change

player.collider = world:newBSGRectangleCollider(400 , 250 , 50 , 100 , 10)

Into

player.collider = world:newBSGRectangleCollider(400 , 250 , 50 , 100 , 0)

for testing purpose?

3. Which line does trigger the error? What line do you have to comment out to make the error dissappear/make another error visible?

4. Did you google yet?

answer 1. i checked and this is the code that i negatived the height/width in it :

local wall = world:newRectangleCollider(obj.x , obj.y , obj.width , obj.height)

answer 2. i changed it but i have another ask i should print the obj x/y and print obj width/height before loading the object ? + if that code is right (the code you gave me) then how the code i got from the vid is wrong

answer 3. it is in line 745 in init.lua < windfield library
the error of line 745 is : Box2D assertion failed: area > b2_epsilon
in function 'newRectangleCollider'

you can see too another errors in other lines i already put it in the thread topic but i will show you it again

answer 4. i already did for 2 hours by searching about the problem

quistion 1. can you explain what i did wrong and how you solved it if the code you gave to me worked and also if it didnt work explain what is the wrong and how to solve it , please

now i tryied the code you gave me

)

i also put this code you gave me

(

player.collider = world:newBSGRectangleCollider(400 , 250 , 50 , 100 , 0)

)

and when i saved and run i got this error :

You are supposed to print the values to look through them yourself ...

answer 1. i checked and this is the code that i negatived the height/width in it :

When you have negative areas then there are no wonders you get an error like "Box2D assertion failed: area > b2_epsilon"

Quote

you can see too another errors in other lines i already put it in the thread topic but i will show you it again

the error :

Yeah no shit sherlock: BUT how am I supposed to read any information out of this when I dont know where main.lua line 40 is for example?

With this mindset, you are better off asking ChatGPT!

sorry i forgot to give you the code in the line that has the error i will give you the code from every line that error said

line 47 error in main.lua (the main file for making the game) :

local wall = world:newRectangleCollider(obj.x , obj.y , obj.width , obj.height)

now i will give you the error/wrong code in init.lua < windfield

fixture = love.physics.newFixture(self.body, shape)

i tryied to search about callbacks.lua in the folder of the love2d project file but i couldnt see it in any folder but i will give you the error you may understand it

i really wanted to give you the whole informations you wanted but i really searched well tell me if you want many/more informations for fixing the problem

now i will give you the whole code of my project to fix it well
