About adding coordinates to the Tower

Hi steven :D, i opened a new discussion.

The "arguments" are the values you pass in the parentheses when you make a call to a method.

So here's your definition of "decreaseHealth" on line 109 of Invader.cs:

        public virtual void decreaseHealth(int factor, MapLocation towerLocation)

It now requires two arguments, an int and a MapLocation.

But here on line 52 of Tower.cs it is being called but given only one argument:

            invader.decreaseHealth(towerPower);

Whenever you change a method signature (which means the number and/or type of arguments), you have to also change every place it is called in the code to match. So the call in Tower.cs needs to pass along the MapLocation now:

            invader.decreaseHealth(towerPower, _location);  // pass tower location also!

And the same issue applies in the two other places it gets called.

<noob /> — I think that question has been taken up separately. If this one has been answered, you can mark it solved by choosing a "best answer".
And happy coding!
