is it possible to have an identical counter in different actor classes, but when i add +1 to it, it adds to an overall counter/adds all the the times I add 1 to the counter from the seperate classes?

Counters
I believe the answer to your question is no, BUT, you can have references to the same counter in multiple classes and then, if you change one, all will show the change.
So, if you had in your worldand in your world constructor then in your actor classes, you could put and then Now, the value of the counter, if not private, can be changed anywhere there is a reference to it.
Example:if value is the integer variable that holds the count of the counter.
Counter counter = null;
counter = new Counter(); addObject(counter, xLocation, yLocation);
Counter counter = null;
protected void addedToWorld(World world)
{
counter = world.counter;
}counter.value += 1;
If you create a class that contains a static method for getting a value and also another for modifying it you can achieve it.
Something like
And in other classes you can call it with;
And all the other commands, and this would stay consistent across all your classes.
Be careful as static variables are not reset from pressing Reset, but rather by hitting the Compile All button again, to wipe its existing value.
public class Counter {
private static int counter = 0;
public static int getCounter() {
return counter;
}
public static void setCounter(int value) {
counter = value
}
public static void incremementCounter() {
counter++;
}
}Counter.getCounter();
