So I need to make an object X disappear once the actor has picked up 3 different objects. Could anyone help me?

You can remove the object from the world by calling the removeObject-method from its world.

Yes, but how do I specify that it can only be removed once those 3 items have been picked up?

Use an int counter to track the number of objects picked up (or a java.util.ArrayList objectsCollected to retain what objects have been collected); then check for removal only upon picking up an object by checking if int value or size of List is 3.

Thank you for answering. Is there a tutorial on this? I am a complete beginner and it's just a school project.

I am not sure what a tutorial on this would even have to say. To keep track of something, you need a field; and the best time to check a condition is when that condition has the potential to have changed states. So, you would check for removal only when the count changes. What more is there to say on the matter?

Could you show me the code because I just can't find the solution, don't even now where to start.

In class of object X:

private int countCollected;
 
public void act()
{
    // other action codes
    if (isTouching(Collectible.class))
    {
        removeTouching(Collectible.class);
        if (++countCollected == 3) getWorld().removeObject(this);
    }
}

Thanks!! But I get this compile error: public void takeToolbox(){ Actor toolbox; toolbox = getOneObjectAtOffset(0, 0, Toolbox.class); if(toolbox !=null) { World myWorld = getWorld(); counter.add(1); (here it says: cannot find symbol - variable counter myWorld.removeObject(toolbox); } } in my world class the counter is: public Counter getCounter() { return counter; }

and this is the counter class: public class Counter extends Actor { private int score = 0; public void act() { setImage(new GreenfootImage("Score" + " " + "0", 20, Color.GREEN, Color.BLACK)); } public void addScore() { score++; } }

counter.add(1);

public void takeBout(){

        if(bout !=null)
        {
            World world;
            world = getWorld();
 
            getWorld().getCounter().addScore(1); here it says cannot find symbol - method getCounter()
            world.removeObject(bout);
 
        }
    }

Remove the '1' from the line.

Change 'getWorld()' to '((MyWorld)getWorld())'.
