Hello.
Don’t know how i’ve got this problems when trying to launch my project:
1.[orbit-camera.js?id=11965532:287]: Cannot read property ‘length’ of null
2.[keyboard-input.js?id=11965511:14]: Cannot read property ‘clone’ of undefined

Can somebody help me please?

You have a entity named roof2 that has a model component with no mesh and the orbit camera script naively assumes that every model component has a mesh.

You can either fix this by deleting that entity or by changing the code of the _buildAabb function to:

OrbitCamera.prototype._buildAabb = function (entity, modelsAdded) {
    var i = 0;

    if (entity.model) {
        var mi = entity.model.meshInstances;
        if (mi) {
            for (i = 0; i < mi.length; i++) {
                if (modelsAdded === 0) {
                    this._modelsAabb.copy(mi[i].aabb);
                } else {
                    this._modelsAabb.add(mi[i].aabb);
                }

                modelsAdded += 1;
            }
        }
    }

    for (i = 0; i < entity.children.length; ++i) {
        modelsAdded += this._buildAabb(entity.children[i], modelsAdded);
    }

    return modelsAdded;
};

Hi @Sledge_Gates1 and welcome,

The reason that happens in your case is because of this line, this.bullet is undefined in your case:

You haven’t referenced any entity in editor to be the bullet:

Fix that, and that error will go away.

the thing is though, if you click on player, bullet should be right underneath target. which is under screen

Yeah, but in your code this.bullet is a script attribute, that means you need to drag and drop it on the Bullet field in editor.

That would be here:

Hello! I’m currently making a fps game, launching the game so far works well but, when added a character animation as enemy, it suddenly says, [playcanvas-stable.dbg.js:18545]: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘name’)
