I'm working on a roguelike game following a tutorial from build-your-own-x, but I keep running into this annoying bug. The error message I'm getting is: "IndexError: only integers, slices, ellipsis, numpy.newaxis, and integer or boolean arrays are valid indices." This happens at the line: [action.target_xy] in my activate method. Here's a part of the code where the error occurs:
def activate(self, action: actions.ItemAction) -> None:
consumer = action.entity
target = action.target_actor
if not self.engine.game_map.visible[action.target_xy]:
raise Impossible("You cannot target an area that you cannot see.")
if not target:
raise Impossible("You must select an enemy to target.")
if target is consumer:
raise Impossible("You cannot confuse yourself!")
self.engine.message_log.add_message(
f"The eyes of the {target.name} look vacant, as it starts to stumble around!",
color.status_effect_applied,
)
target.ai = components.ai.ConfusedEnemy(
entity=target, previous_ai=target.ai, turns_remaining=self.number_of_turns,
)
self.consume()
I've been trying to figure out what the issue is for three days now. Can anyone explain why this is happening and how to fix it?

It looks like when you call the `activate` function, you might be passing an `ItemAction` object that has a null or invalid `target_xy` property. You should double-check that `target_xy` is set correctly before using it.
From the error message, it seems like `action.target_xy` isn't a valid index. Have you inspected what `action.target_xy` actually contains? Knowing its value can help pinpoint the issue.
I checked it, and it's not properly set. I think it might just be a parameter.
