The “tilemap.get\_tile()” won’t return a tile if the input position is “out of range” as mentioned in the error message.  
So, I’d try to check your input position before the call, e.g. by printing the position.  
I.e. if the player is outside of the tilemap, you won’t get a tile, so you’ll need to check for that.
