having lifes
Try this: In your Player class, add a "boolean" called "isDead", and add an "int" called "timeToRegenerate". In your Player's "act()" class, do this:
When your player dies, do not remove your player from the world. Just set "isDead" to true.
public void act()
{
if(!isDead) { //if the player is not dead... the player can continue to act
//put your original act method here!
}
else { //if the player has lost a life...
timeToRegenerate++;
getImage().setTransparency(0); //make the player invisible when dead
if(timeToRegenerate > 30) { //if the player has been dead long enough,
isDead = false; //regenerate!
timeToRegenerate = 0;
getImage().setTransparency(255);
setLocation(someX, someY); //where someX and someY are the
} //the location you want the player to regenerate at.
}
}
You should also have an extra variable (named int lives or similar), where you keep track of how many lives you have lost - something like the following (I'll work it around Morran's act() method):
private int lives = 5;
public void act()
{
if(!isDead) { //if the player is not dead... the player can continue to act
//put your original act method here!
}
else { //if the player has lost a life...
if(lives > 0)
{
timeToRegenerate++;
getImage().setTransparency(0); //make the player invisible when dead
if(timeToRegenerate > 30) { //if the player has been dead long enough,
isDead = false; //regenerate!
timeToRegenerate = 0;
lives--;
getImage().setTransparency(255);
setLocation(someX, someY); //where someX and someY are the
} //the location you want the player to regenerate at.
}
else
{
getWorld().removeObject(this); //die. add whatever extra code you want here.
}
}
}
Hello,
I have the same problem and I'm trying to use thise code, but I can't find the boolean isDead and the int timeToRegenerate anywhere?!
They're not in the standard Greenfoot methode (I think) and I dont know how to find it/make it?
Can anyone help me please? :)
I have a player that has to lose a life when he/she falls down (at x=o). He/she needs to have 3 lifes in total. With the first two lifes lost she needs to start at the beginning of the game. When the third life is lost the game needs to stop! (or go to the last world which says something like GAME OVER).
Help, anyone? :)
Like Morran said:
As these are to be instance variables, they should be declared inside the class but not inside any method!
In your Player class, add a "boolean" called "isDead", and add an "int" called "timeToRegenerate"
To declare those variables you'd use code something like:
private boolean isDead = false; private int timeToRegenerate = 0;
