Cannot load map with Dusk (attempt to index local 'value' (a boolean value))

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

I keep receiving this error when I try to load a map with Dusk:

Dusk\dusk\_core\misc\functions.lua:64: attempt to index local 'value' (a boolean value)

It is a simple map with two layers plus one object layer. Here is the traceback:

\Dusk\dusk\_core\misc\functions.lua:64: in function 'stringToValue' \Dusk\dusk\_core\misc\functions.lua:216: in function 'getProperties' \Dusk\dusk\_core\layer\tilelayer.lua:62: in function 'createLayer' \Dusk\dusk\_core\core.lua:222: in function 'buildMap'

I really have no clue what I’m doing wrong. Any help appreciated, thanks!

You may want to bump this thread. Dusk is a 3rd party solution, so we really can’t help with it. It’s creator has been posting recently, but he’s made it clear he can’t support it going forward. Hopefully some users of Dusk can respond. 

Dusk is just Lua, so perhaps you can look in functions.lua at line 64 and see what it’s looking for. Apparently its expecting a true/false boolean in a table member called “value”. Then back up to getProperties (line 216) and see what’s being passed in. Likely this falls all the way back to your map and a tile or object is expecting an entry named “value” that doesn’t exist.
