War Battles Tutorial

Working on the above tutorial and have run into an issue.
I have been over this more than once but am unable to see my own mistake.

Here is the update code:

function update(self, dt)
	if self.moving then
		local pos = go.get_position()
		pos = pos + self.dir * self.speed * dt
		go.set_position(pos)
	end

	if self.firing then
		factory.create("#rocketfactory")
	end

	-- reset start
	self.input.x = 0
	self.input.y = 0
	
	self.moving = false
	-- reset end
	
end

Here is the console error message:

ERROR:SCRIPT: main/player.script:26: Component expected to be of type 'factoryc' but was 'collectionfactoryc'
stack traceback:
  [C]:-1: in function create
  main/player.script:26: in function <main/player.script:18>

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Sounds like you accidentally added a collection factory to the player object instead of a regular factory.

I deleted then recreated the factory. It seems to be working now.

Thanks.
