I am making a game. In the def update(self): bit I have the code

player_hitbox = Rect(self.player.position-12, self.player.position-12, 24, 24)

if self.enemy1.frame.intersects(player_hitbox):
    self.gameOver()

However, when I run the game, there is this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/var/containers/Bundle/Application/D2B5AEDE-2A6F-4263-8217-08037B4C2570/Pythonista3.app/Frameworks/Py3Kit.framework/pylib/site-packages/scene.py", line 199, in _draw

    player_hitbox = Rect(self.player.position-12, self.player.position-12, 24, 24)
TypeError: Unsupported operand type(s)

How can I get it so when the player’s hit box intersects enemy1’s frame, it runs self.gameOver()?

@rex_noctis I don't know your code but is self.player.position a number or a couple of coordinates? It has to be a single number/integer/float.

I just realised the error. It’s meant to be Rect(self.player.position.x-12, self.player.position.y-12, 24, 24) I forgot the .x on the end of position. Thanks for making me notice it!
