Changing the order of subclasses of World (or Actor)

By doctorbeep, with 1 reply.
Replied to by Deepfist, over 1 year ago:

I am not sure if there is an option for choosing the order, but I do (kinda) know how the order is decided It depends on the word/character. If you have a subclass that starts with an A and a subclass that starts with a B, then the A will be the top one. If you have a subclass that starts with an a and a sublclass that starts with a B, then the B will be the top one. Not sure why but it's like that. If you have Level 1 and Level 2, then the top one should be Level 1, unless your Level 1 starts with a small L, then it will be Level 2 Say you have Level Start and Level end, then Level End

I have a program where I want a character, lets say a male fish, interacts with a female fish and I want them to spawn another fish (either male or female, it doesnt really matter). I am new to programming and I can't find a solution to this problem. Can I get some help?

Since your Fish objects have a "sex" state, you should have a variable for male/female: <Code Omitted>Let's say that male = 1 and female = 0. Now, you can add the following to the act method:

it returns as getobjects is always equaling zero and never changes the string variable

It does set a String variable called player to "Ninja" -- just not the one you think it should. Line 35 declares a new variable called player which is not the variable you declared on line 10. Remove the "String" from line 35 so the one on line 10 gets set.

Looks something like this java.lang.RuntimeException: The gif file "images/RunRight.gif" doesn't exist.

Double check the file name and suffix. All characters must be in the proper upper/lower case.

I see the error and put in the curly (}) that I had miss out but now am getting another error << Code Omitted >>

Looks like you are trying to treat the Banking object as a java.awt.Component object, which, as coded, it is not.

Moving an actor towards another without rotating

I'm creating a 2D game in which enemies on the right side chase after the player on the left side. I was wondering if there's another way for the enemies to chase after the player as they move without rotating as it flips the images (has animations) upside down and backwards. I'd appreciate any suggestions or feedback! Here's my current code: << Code Omitted >>

Just reset the rotation back to zero after moving: <Code Omitted>

Bullet despawn

Last reply by Deepfist, almost 2 years ago:

You need to implement a hit registration, you can do this the following way <Code Omitted> <Code Omitted>In this instance the bullet is looking if it intersecting with the actor Object. If it isn't intersecting (so it is null or == null), then it returns false

How to code Player chasing an actor but it runs away as much as possible from the player?

It's like ghost from Pacman. I don't know how to code it, I've found sources but I can't understand it how it works. It's really difficult.

To run away: <Code Omitted>That is one way, at least. The idea of other ways is the same. Determine where (and possibly, how close) the player is, then turn away and move it.

Can you help me to solve this error?

how can i make my manager not to go through walls. Because, when the manager start to chase the player, it goes through the walls. :((

Well, you probably just want to reverse the moving if a wall is encountered. That is: <Code Omitted>There is no need for a separate method for this (remove the "public void Wall()' method). The order of instructions in your act method should probably be as follows:

20
