Error Getting Width of Randomly Spawning Obstacles

Question

I keep getting the error message, 'Can't get index "width" on base "Vector2"' from the following code:

func goinitposition():
randomize()
var initposition = Vector2()
initposition.x = getviewportrect().size.width + PIPEWIDTH/2
initposition.y = randrange(0+OFFSETY, getviewportrect().size.height-GROUNDHEIGHT-OFFSETY)
setposition(initposition)
pass

Is there something I am missing or another way to code this?

additional information:

I've been following a four year old Flappy Bird tutorial and so far there have been issues changing some code to function in 3.2, so this might be a similar case. The link to the video is here Flappy Bird Godot Engine Tutorial and the code is implemented at the time 35:39

Answer 1

The problem is here: get_viewport_rect().size.width and get_viewport_rect().size.height. get_viewport_rect().size has the properties x and y now, not width and height. So you should have this:

init_position.x = get_viewport_rect().size.x + PIPE_WIDTH/2
init_position.y = rand_range(0+OFFSET_Y, get_viewport_rect().size.y-GROUND+HEIGHT-OFFSET_Y)
