Cocos2d: error no suitable conversion function from Cocos2d::Valuemap to Cocos2d::CCdictionary existis

I'm following this amazing tutorial about implementing tilemaps in my game http://www.raywenderlich.com/39113/cocos2d-x-tile-map-tutorial-part-1

http://www.raywenderlich.com/40544/cocos2d-x-tile-map-tutorial-part-2

But when i get to this:

CCTMXObjectGroup *objectGroup = _tileMap->objectGroupNamed("Objects");

if(objectGroup == NULL){
    CCLog("tile map has no objects object layer");
    return false;
}

CCDictionary *spawnPoint = objectGroup->objectNamed("SpawnPoint");

int x = ((CCString)*spawnPoint->valueForKey("x")).intValue();
int y = ((CCString)*spawnPoint->valueForKey("y")).intValue();

_player = new CCSprite();
_player->initWithFile("Player.png");
_player->setPosition(ccp(x,y));

this->addChild(_player);
this->setViewPointCenter(_player->getPosition());

I get an error on: CCDictionary *spawnPoint = objectGroup->objectNamed("SpawnPoint");

Stating that there is no function to convert this objectGroup. (error no suitable conversion function from Cocos2d::Valuemap to Cocos2d::CCdictionary existis)

This looks like a problem from the diferents cocos' versions used (The tutorial is v2 and i'm v3).

Does anyone knows how to fix this?

Why don't you use a auto pointer, and access the unordered map returned using the normal C++ syntax. See below for code sample.

auto spawnPoints = objectGroupd->objectNamed("SpawnPoint");
int x = spawnPoints.at("x").asInt();
int y = spawnPoints.at("y").asInt();

This will get you the same values that the raywenderlich tutorial expects you to have.

CCDictionary is now ValueMap. So just change it to ValueMap. Then you can use it like that:

int x = spawnPoint["x"].asInt();
int y = spawnPoint["y"].asInt();

A lot easier to do.
