Untouchable for two seconds

Hi there, I don't have any code near me, so I cant place that, but... A Char i am controlling for a game, has to be untouchable for 2 seconds for the mobs in the game. To get the char in touch for that class, I use something like the getObjectAtIntersection method. That's working well. That method is called in the act method. That works fine, but how can I dissable that for just two seconds? Yours, Dennis

Add an instance field, an 'int noTouchTimer' and add the following methods to the class: 
private void runNoTouchTimer()
{
    if (noTouchTimer == 0) return;
    noTouchTimer--;
}

private void startNoTouchTimer()
{
    noTouchTimer = 100;
}

private boolean canMobTouch()
{
    return noTouchTimer == 0;
}
Call the 'runNoTouchTimer' method from the 'act' method. Call the 'startNoTouchTimer' method to disable mobs touching for about 2 seconds. Use 'canMobTouch' to place condition on touch checking.

Thanx Call the 'startNoTouchTimer' method to disable mobs touching for about 2 seconds. Is there an easy way to realise this? (the 2 seconds thing) and what stands the 100 for in this case? Yours, Dennis

There's a bee and three ants on my screen... This is my code so far import greenfoot.*; // (World, Actor, GreenfootImage, Greenfoot and MouseInfo) /** * Write a description of class Bee here. * * @author (your name) * @version (a version number or a date) */ public class Bee extends Actor { private int noTouchTimer; public Bee(){ } public void act() { checkKeys(); runNoTouchTimer(); checkAnt(); } public void flickeringTwoSeconds(){ } public void checkAnt(){ Actor actor = getOneIntersectingObject(Ant.class); if (actor != null){ System.out.println("Een mier wordt aangeraakt!"); startNoTouchTimer(); } } public void checkKeys(){ if(Greenfoot.isKeyDown("down")){ setLocation(getX(), getY()+3); } if(Greenfoot.isKeyDown("up")){ setLocation(getX(), getY()-3); } if(Greenfoot.isKeyDown("left")){ setLocation(getX()-3, getY()); } if(Greenfoot.isKeyDown("right")){ setLocation(getX()+3, getY()); } } public void runNoTouchTimer(){ if(noTouchTimer == 0) return; noTouchTimer--; } public void startNoTouchTimer(){ System.out.println("Start no touch wordt aangeroepen!"); noTouchTimer = 100; } public boolean canMobTouch(){ return noTouchTimer == 0; } }

Scenarios running at normal running speeds run between 50 and 60 frames per second. 50 * 2 = 100. So, we are counting frames (or act cycles) for about 2 seconds.

Where do I have to put this? Use 'canMobTouch' to place condition on touch checking. Thanks in advance, Dennis

In the class of the Char you are controlling.
