TypeError: invalid rect assignment. When assigning .rect.center

Question

As in the title I'm getting "TypeError: invalid rect assignment" On the following line:

bullet.rect.x=player.rect.center

Originally the line was:

bullet.rect.x=player.rect.x

Which worked fine, aside from the bullet is firing from the left not centre. Not a massive drama as I can manually add +7 to player.rect.x but id rather do it in a cleaner way.

Thanks!

Answer 1

player.rect.center is a tuple and you can't assign a tuple to bullet.rect.x. Assign bullet.rect.x to an int or float (which gets truncated) instead.

You can use the centerx attribute of the player to set the x of the bullet.rect.

bullet.rect.x = player.rect.centerx
