so i ruined my game that i was making and now it barely works like it was meant to here is the source code its due today. so pls help << Codes Omitted >>

I did notice that in multiple places you have images being created continuously (every act frame). Image creation/manipulation can be a hog on CPU time and may cause some lagging. Also, I noticed that you have the health bar and the counter doing things they should not. GUI objects, as such, should be prompted to do things, not do them on their own -- and only do those things when required. In other words, they

how to spawn zombies with different stats after a set amount of time

The current code modifies an already existing zombie. I guess you want to spawn a *new* zombie, right? A new zombie can be created by calling the constructor, presumably "new Zombie();". This zombie then has to be placed into the world (addObject method). Assuming the code you showed is in method spawnZombie of your world class, you can try this:

That would be a possibility, too. But in that case, the poison cloud would only go after villagers, but not other pedestrians.

You are right. Might be better to have an (empty) abstract grabPedestrian method in the Grabber class and have each sub-type deal with their own specific behavior. If it is their specific behavior, then it makes sense to have the code in their specific classes.

so dan with the auto fire it works but not as intendid so it does fire out but it fires out like 2-3 strands of bullets at the same time and i dont want that and it also didnt turn the player to face where it was shooting. so i figured that i would have to use the getobjects in range function but i cant figure out how to do it here is the code: << Code Omitted >>

My Demon class has a NullPointerException when spawning into the world

Last reply by Spock47, over 2 years ago:

Thanks that worked! Theres a small problem now the blood demon isnt removing the villager from the world on contact, instead its just going up to it, then spinning in circles?

Seems to me that "getOneObjectAtOffset((int)speed + getImage().getWidth()/2, 0, Pedestrian.class);" is only working correctly if the demon meets the pedestrian's center exactly? Try with "getOneIntersectingObject(Pedestrian.class);":

NullPointerException in Grabber Class

grabbed can be null there, so replace the quoted lines with this (it moves the relevant line into the part where grabbed is checked to not be null):

I cant make it "private void checkHitPedestrian()" because the checkHitPedestrian method is in my vehicle superclass as a boolean which my monster class is under. << Codes Omitted >>

How do I make an actor turn into a frog upon contact with another actor

By KCee, with 1 reply.
Replied to by danpost, over 2 years ago:

i have two actors under the same superclass "Pedestrian". One of the actors is called villager and I want him to turn into a frog upon contact with the other actor called "EvilWitch". << Codes Omitted >>

Looks like you have code in the Villager class to do just that. Only problem is that if contact with EvilWitch is more than one act step, which is most probably the case, then the image will be made smaller multiple times; and, at some point, it will try to make it a size that is zero or less, causing an error. You need a way to check whether the a
