So I'm working on a side scroller. Each level has a Sprite with a Custom Class of Player. While the texture that determines that sprite is set by it's idle animation, I've applied a texture in each Level for reference.

In each level it seems to work fine

E.g. Here's my level 2 with my main Player Monkey Sprite as it appears in most levels.

enter image description here

However, on two levels any changes to this Player Sprite causes the game to crash. I'm forced to leave the thing as an untextured sprite... any kind of change causes the game to crash. For instance if I add a new texture I get the following error.

E.g. Here it must be left untextured or I get a crash. enter image description here

libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException
(lldb)

I've tried to fix the error by

  1. Duplicating my Level 2 and deleting everything but the Monkey Sprite and Camera (and it's children) , then pasting everything from the problematic level in (except the untextured sprite and it's camera). The error still occurs.

This didn't seem to happen when I was developing the thing in Xcode 7, but the switch to Swift 3 and Xcode 8 has caused some weird errors.

I've tried this for both the problem levels. I can't figure it out. The game build works fine if I just leave it untextured. I can add a texture in the scene editor. But, then the build crashes.

But, it'd be helpful to have the sprite textured for editing reference. Anyone have any ideas?

  • your texture size is 6, -2.6 – Knight0fDragon Dec 03 '16 at 21:11
  • When solving exceptions, pay attention to the part following the "reason" as it says `Invalid size specified: {6, -2.6005233764648423}`. Your texture can't be -2 in height. Maybe there is some piece of code in the class that manages the level that is calculating the size of the texture wrong. You can also set exception breakpoints: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17802662/exception-breakpoint-in-xcode; and see if that shows you what line the issue might be coming from. – Hedylove Dec 04 '16 at 21:18

For some reason adding an exception breakpoint didn't reveal the line of code that was causing the issue.

Something in my code was calculating a negative size just as the error said. The way I found it was by try copying in the assets little by little from a "bad level" to a working level. I did this till the thing crashed. By doing that I isolated the issue to one asset type.

Turns out part of my code relied on the sizing of my player texture to calculate something. While this calculation almost never resulted in a negative number... in those two levels it did. So getting rid of the player texture worked as temporary fix because it prevented the number being negative by not being subtracted.
