Cannot read property 'properties" of null

[JohannesRolshausen]

I tried to get it work with Ninja physics, but that always gave me the error: "Cannot set property 'game' of undefined" in phaser-ninja.physics.js.

Since I'm not using a lot of ninja physics yet, I tried it without, but now I always get:
"Cannot read property 'properties' of null" in phaser-tilemap-plus.js.

Did I forget something in the installation?

Hi,

It wasn't meant to be used with Ninja physics, but only with Arcade physics, sorry!

Having said that, can you show the code where you're trying to access the game property. The issue may be unrelated to phaser-tilemap-plus.

I am getting this same error attempting to use this with p2 phsics. The following (coffeescript) works without phaser-tilemap-plus:

# PRELOAD

@game.load.tilemap("tilemap1", @Assets.tilemap1, null, Phaser.Tilemap.TILED_JSON)
@game.load.image("tileset1", @Assets.tileset1)

# CREATE

map = @game.add.tilemap("tilemap1", 16, 16, 700, 500)
map.addTilesetImage "tileset1"
tiles_layer = map.createLayer "Tiles"
tiles_layer.resizeWorld()

But as soon as I add the following line at the beginning of the create function:

@game.plugins.add Phaser.Plugin.TilemapPlus

I get the following error from the @game.add.tilemap line:

bundle.js:65102 Phaser.Cache.getJSON: Key "tilemap1-TilemapPlus" not found in Cache.

and from the same line get the following error as well:

bundle.js:2821 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'properties' of null
    at new t (bundle.js:2821)
    at Phaser.GameObjectFactory.tilemap (bundle.js:2821)
    at PlayState.module.exports [as create] (bundle.js:1540

I would really appreciate support, because I'm not sure of any other way to get Tiled animations exported to Phaser.

If you want to reproduce, you can clone this repo: https://github.com/maxp-edcast/phaser_game .
just run npm i and npm run dev and you can see the error in the console.

Hi, I tried to clone your repo, and ran "npm i" and "npm run dev" as per your instructuions.

I get the following:

I am experiencing the same issue

[hadamlenz]

I'm using Phaser CE and I have a preloader state. When I move all the code to load assets into the play state everything works. My assumption is there is something about preloading in a different state and reading from the cache

[hadamlenz]

Using console.log( game.cache._cacheMap ) when loading everything together shows the new cached tilemap tilemap-TilemapPlus. The tile map is not part of the cacheMap when using a preloader state

[thanh-taro]

I am too. And when I move the code to add plugin in Boot state, everything works just fine.
