In my game, I have a Spike actor. When the player runs into the dull side, they should stop as if there was a wall ahead of them. And they should be able to walk on it (but by being damaged) as well. Currently, I'm working on making the player act like it's a wall. But for some reason, my code doesn't work. I just copied my method to find a wall, and changed it to work for Spikes, but it doesn't work.
Here's the code:
Here's what my wall method looks like:
Also, I feel I should mention that the Spike object is a subclass of DamageActor. (basically an actor that can damage other actors)
I also have code that stops the player when wall() is true. wall() is false becuase spike() is false, and I don't know why.
Thanks for the help.
/**
* Checks to see if a Upward facing Spike is ahead
* @return true if there's a spike ahead
*/
public boolean spike()
{
int height = getImage().getHeight();
int width = getImage().getHeight();
Actor spike = null;
if (flipped)
spike = getOneObjectAtOffset(width/2 + 2, -height/2, Spike.class);
else
spike = getOneObjectAtOffset(-width/2 - 2, -height/2, Spike.class);
return spike != null;
}/**
* Checks if there is a wall ahead
* @return true if there's a wall ahead
*/
public boolean wall()
{
int height = getImage().getHeight();
int width = getImage().getWidth();
Actor ground = null;
if (flipped)
ground = getOneObjectAtOffset(width/2 + 2, -height/2, Ground.class);
else
ground = getOneObjectAtOffset(-width/2 - 2, -height/2, Ground.class);
return ground != null || spike();
}
