You can compile it and see the full error message.

Thank you very much.
I did try "GetMedium<CLEDMedium>", but I did not include the header. C++ warnings and errors do not help at all :D.

I added some boxes via the above-mentioned code with no problem. But I get the following error when I close the running simulation:

Code: Select all

[FATAL] CSpace::RemoveEntity() : Entity "box1.leds_0.led_0" has not been found in the indexes.

How can I set a color for a box? Other than using a LED.

What is the correct way to remove an entity which is added at runtime?
I want to add and remove entities (boxes) to the simulation at runtime. But when I remove an entity, I get a segmentation fault. I guess it's related to the LED.

Adding a new box:

Code: Select all

CLEDMedium& cLEDMedium = GetSimulator().GetMedium<CLEDMedium>("leds"); CBoxEntity* pcBox = new CBoxEntity("box1", CVector3(randomX, randomY, 0.0), CQuaternion(), true, CVector3(1.0, 1.0, 0.5), 0.5); pcBox->EnableLEDs(cLEDMedium); pcBox->AddLED(CVector3(0.0, 0.0, 0.2), CColor::RED); AddEntity(*pcBox); cLEDMedium.AddEntity(pcBox->GetLEDEquippedEntity().GetLED(0));

Removing an existing box:

Code: Select all

cLEDMedium.RemoveEntity(pcBox->GetLEDEquippedEntity().GetLED(0)); RemoveEntity(*pcBox);

Do not explicitly remove the led from the medium. Once you add an LED to a box, ARGoS takes care of cleaning up. The segmentation fault you get should be a double-free issue due to the fact that ARGoS tries to delete an object that you have already manually deleted.

Box colors are just for display, and can't be changed. They're not visible by the camera or anything.

I know. I wanted it just for illustration purposes.

I removed that line from my code, but still getting the same error.
Logically, if we have to add a led to the led medium ourselves, then we should remove it too.
