Invalid get index of type 'String' (on base: 'Dictionary').

MrJP404

Hi, I'm new to Godot and coding in general. I'm following a tutorial for a simple plattformer and it throws this error when running my scene: Invalid get index of type 'String' (on base: 'Dictionary').

this is the code where it throws an error:

extends Area2D
signal picked_up
var textures = {"cherry": "res://jungle_jump_assets/sprites/cherry.png", "gem": "res://jungle_jump_assets/sprites/gem.png"}

func init(type, _position):
$Sprite2D.texture = load(textures[type])
position = _position

func _on_body_entered(body: Node2D) -> void:
picked_up.emit()
queue_free()

Thanks to anyone who can help me.

MrJP404 Post the code that calls init()

func spawn_items():
var item_cells = $Items.get_used_cells(0)
for cell in item_cells:
var data = $Items.get_cell_tile_data(0, cell)
var type = data.get_custom_data("type")
var item = item_scene.instantiate()
add_child(item)
item.init(type, $Items.map_to_local(cell))
item.picked_up.connect(self._on_item_picked_up)

Print the value of type.

var type = data.get_custom_data("type")
print_debug("type=", type)

Since get_custom_data() returns a Variant, it might require casting as a String.
var type: String = data.get_custom_data("type") as String
