how can i get my score from another actor

By roonie01, with 38 replies.
Last reply by danpost, 2 minutes ago:

The getWorld method returns the world the actor is currently in. So, lines 13 and 26 attempt to add the actor into the world it is already in -- not into the world that is about to be active. You need a reference to that new world (using a local variable) to add the actor to it. For example (for lines 11 and 13): <Code Omitted>Line 1 declares a local variable to hold a World object named newWorld, creates a new stage2 World object and assigns it to the field

Error at Object although not existing

Add else to the beginning of line 37. Removing an object from the world does not make an object non-existent. Just means it is not in a world any more.

Thank you, now it's working

Is it possible to get the image set by the UI

I was hoping that GF has a way of retrieving filename of the image the user selected in the UI.

Unfortunately, GF does not currently provide a way to access the filename of an image selected for an Actor subclass in the UI. For clarification of your issue, please show an example of what code you are working with (all classes involved) and explain exactly what you are trying to do and why. That may open up possible solutions to the issue.

How to stop a single method from another class

Replied to by danpost, 3 days ago:

You can regulate the calling of the killChild method depending on the protected state of the child: <Code Omitted>This says if touching a child and that child is not protected, then kill child. You will add a method in the Child class to have it return its protected state: <Code Omitted>where protekted contains its protected state (that is, the conditions required for the child to be considered protected).

Scenario doesn't seem to work online

By Solringolt, with 7 replies.
Last reply by danpost, 4 days ago:

There is one thing I have noticed that may or may not contribute to the issue. You have a couple of classes that extend a class that they should not. Specifically, the following class trees under the Actor class are questionable: * ExperienceIndicator > ExperienceState * Bonus > Shield > ShieldIndicator In the first case, I am not sure why you have both classes at all. The ExperienceIndicator class can probably be just removed (with the ExperienceState class changed to extend the Actor class. The second case is more troublesome. First, you should be awar

Do not show any code unless you need help (especially your World subclass). No -- wait -- what I meant was show code for help (starting with your subclass of World).

RUN behaves like ACT, that is I have to continually press RUN for the game to proceed. It works fine on my PC.

A meter Bar

Should I edit it and create a new class for the meter? or should JUST create the new class for meter?

Of course you will have to edit it to work with the value of the meter. The meter should be held in a field within the Sample class: <Code Omitted>A meter is created, added to the world and assigned to turboMeter. The act method of the Sample class can, as the last thing it does, call a method in the class of the meter so it can update its position or remove itself from the world:

How to change color and font of text

<< Code Omitted >> So this is what I have so far, and it says I have no errors but it won't show up on scree (sorry if this is obvious, I'm new to Greenfoot!)

Two things: (1) you have text being brought into the method, yet, you use literal text for the image; and (2) if you want the background color to show, it cannot have a zero alpha (transparency) value. Try this for line 3: <Code Omitted>If you still do not see it, make sure you are calling the method and the actor is in the w
