I'm trying to make it so that when my character fires an arrow and it hits an enemy, the enemy loses health based on how much armor it has and what type of unit it is. What and where should i put this code? In the arrow class or the character class?

How can I make an enemy "lose health" when an arrow hits it?

Whoops, been doing it wrong then. Thanks! I'll give word if I screw up some more! ^.^
Ok, could you give me some tips on how to do this? So far, I've tried to create an ArrayList and add all the other actors. After that, i try to remove the actors that are "friendly". I can't add any actors for some reason. Im using getObjects but can't really figure out how to use it. I havent gotten the arrow to damage any actor either. :/ ...I'm a newbie programmer haha sorry for all the trouble
Let me make sure that I was totally clear as to what should go where.
(1) the code to fire (or shoot) the arrow goes in the character class
(2) the code to detect the arrow hitting an enemy goes in the enemy class
I wanted to be clear on number two because 'enemy' was not one of the options that you gave.
You should not need to create an ArrayList. Each cycle (which would be about 60 times a second) only need act on one intersecting object at a time.
Well, im making 2 sides. One wave of creeps are your helpers kinda. And i dont want to let the character damage their own creeps. So i wanted to make an arrayList of enemy creeps and only be able to hurt the creeps/objects inn the array
Would it not be easier to just add a boolean instance field to the creep class? set it to true if you can damage it; else false, it is on your side.
If you can't tell, i'm a terrible programmer. I have no clue how to check if they are hit. I just tried this:
public void CheckDamg()
{
if(purple)
{ enemy=true;
if(VayneArrow.getLeft().equals(PurpMins.getLeft())
{PurpMinHp-=vayneAttk;
}
}
else
{enemy=false}
How does it not work? are you getting an error message? does it say something like 'non-static method cannot be referenced in a static context'? are VayneArrow and PurpMins actor class names? or references to objects created from actor classes?
VayneArrow and PurpMins are actor classes yes. It just shows a red line and wont let me compile
Im doing this in the VayneArrow class btw.
public void damg()
{
if(enemy)
{
if(VayneArrow.getLeft().equals(PurpMins.getLeft())
{PurpMinHp-=vayneAttk;
}
else
{enemy=false}
}
}There are more replies on the next page.
