Need Help Animating Actor

private GreenfootImage image1; private GreenfootImage image2; public void animateCrab() { if ( getImage() == image1 ) { setImage(image2); } else { setImage(image1); } } This code used to animate the actor but at some point it stopped working. I have tried a dozen solutions and none have worked as of yet. Everything I have tried has just crashed the client by overusing memory.

The problem may not be with the code provided.

What is the problem then? That code has its own method. That method just sits there. What could be interfering?

You might need to change this: 
if(getImage() == image1)
to this: 
if(getImage().equals(image1))
Also, you might not be calling animateCrab() in the act method, which I believe is what danpost was referring to.

@MatheMagician, I think in this case, the usage of '==' should only return a possible false result one time (on the first act cycle the method is executed). After that, the image set will be the same instance of one of the two images saved in the fields and the condition will return an accurate true/false result.

I tested both of them and neither worked :( I think Otaku might have to use a boolean variable instead of a method.

We really do not have enough information to help at this point. Best might be to post the code for the whole class.
