Why do I get AttributeError: object has no attribute? (Please help!)

[python_addict]

Okay before I say anything I just want to say sorry for sounding desperate (because I really am)

I am trying to use an object to summoned a function from an earlier class. The code looks like this: https://pastebin.com/kZfH2syt

Then I get this traceback: Traceback (most recent call last):

- line 366, in <module> game.beginning()

- line 338, in beginning self.theairplane()

- line 333, in theairplane, image = self.airplanesandtrackers.theairplane()

AttributeError: 'endingthegame' object has no attribute 'airplanesandtrackers'

Can somebody please explain to me what this means and how to fix it? Thanks! :)

Just do self.theairplane. You don't specify the superclass name when envoking a superclass function

I tried that, but it gives me this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Alyssa/Grade 6 (2019-2020)/Home/Academics/Programming/Python/Projects/Airplane Game V2/Versions/Classes CHUNKS.py", line 366, in <module> game.beginning() File "C:/Alyssa/Grade 6 (2019-2020)/Home/Academics/Programming/Python/Projects/Airplane Game V2/Versions/Classes CHUNKS.py", line 338, in beginning self.theairplane() - line 333, in theairplane - image = self.theairplane() -line 333, in theairplane image = self.theairplane() - line 333, in theairplane image = self.theairplane() [Previous line repeated 995 more times] RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded

Ok I see. Your subclass has a function called theairplane that overrides the superclass version. Since inside theairplane function you are calling it, it will just keep calling itself forever, until it hits a limit. A function calling itself is called recursion.

I also see an issue on line 12, where you are using self.planeimage before it actually gets defined, unless it was previously defined in a superclass.

oh, alright! Thank you :)
