Hi! I'm pretty new to Greenfoot and I'm making a game where you fight a boss that has different attack cycles that are random. When the boss is in an attack cycle, I have a boolean called "inAttack" that is set to true and then set to false when the cycle is over to prevent any other things from happening in my Boss class while it is in one of its attack cycles. My different attack cycles are called by a random number.
My problem is that when my "inAttack" boolean is set to true in my Attack1() method, it instantly becomes set to false, and my random number starts my Attack2() method. How do I make the boolean not become set to false again? Here is my code in my Boss class:
public class Boss extends Actor
{
private GreenfootImage dI1 = new GreenfootImage("bossI1.png");
private GreenfootImage dI2 = new GreenfootImage("bossI2.png");
private GreenfootImage dI3 = new GreenfootImage("bossI3.png");
private GreenfootImage dR1 = new GreenfootImage("bossR1.png");
private GreenfootImage dR2 = new GreenfootImage("bossR2.png");
private GreenfootImage dR3 = new GreenfootImage("bossR3.png");
private GreenfootImage dL1 = new GreenfootImage("bossL1.png");
private GreenfootImage dL2 = new GreenfootImage("bossL2.png");
private GreenfootImage dL3 = new GreenfootImage("bossL3.png");
