401 Pointswhen I follow the task for task 2, my task one doesn't work and I cannot move on.
Following the directions makes my task one not work and will not let me pass task 2

19,141 PointsHi there,
You're close - it looks like the wrong part of line 25 was changed. Instead of
platform2.create(400, 450, 'platform');
you want
platforms.create(400, 450, 'platform2');
This is because 'platforms' is the name of the variable declared at the top of that block - changing that value is going to attempt to use a variable that doesn't exist, which is why you get an error there. Instead, we change the value inside the parentheses - the parameter. This parameter is telling the create method which platform image to use, which is what it's looking for.
Hope this helps!

function createPlatforms() {
platforms = game.add.physicsGroup();
platforms.create(300, 200, 'platform');
platform2.create(400, 450, 'platform');
platforms.create(100, 450, 'platform');
platforms.setAll('body.immovable', true);
platform2.setAll('body.immovable', true);
}
There is no platform2 variable, it's probably what's causing an error in the script. It should just be platforms.create(), like so:
function createPlatforms() {
platforms = game.add.physicsGroup();
platforms.create(300, 200, 'platform');
platforms.create(400, 450, 'platform');
platforms.create(100, 450, 'platform');
platforms.setAll('body.immovable', true);
platforms.setAll('body.immovable', true);
}
Hope that helps
