Hello, I ran into another problem I cannot solve for my Asteroid Game, making a working ForceField. Just some basic, when the key, "a," is pressed down, the ForceField is made and follows the Rocket. I can create the ForceField wtih this code:
I do have a checkKey method, which I wonder if I should put the "if(Greenfoot.isKeyDown("a")) there.
Anyways, the problem with this code is that if "a" is pressed, it creates ForceField; however, it does not follow the Rocket. I know for sure I have to use getX() and getY(), but I'm not sure where to put it. Another problem is then how long the Rocket can use the ForceField, which I think I would just need to create a counter, right?
Examples of the code will help me out. Thank you!
private static final int ffReloadTime = 100;
private int ffReloadDelayCount;
public void act()
{
ffReloadDelayCount++;
if(Greenfoot.isKeyDown("a"))
{
useForce();
}
}
private void useForce()
{
if(ffReloadDelayCount >= ffReloadTime)
{
ForceField ff = new ForceField();
getWorld().addObject(ff, getX(),
getY());
ffReloadDelayCount = 0;
}
}
