I have been making the enemy chase the player, but I keep getting an error which says "cannot find symbol- variable .getX();". I would appreciate any help. Thanks

Chase player
show the code that you are using and it will be easier to point you in the right direction
public void chasePlayer()
{
turnTowards(Shark.getX, Shark.getY());
move(12);
}
This, 'Shark.getX', does not have a pair of round brackets following it to show that is a method call and not a variable name.
But now it is saying that non-static method getX() cannot be referenced from a static context.
You cannot call 'getX' on a Class object. It must be called on an Actor object. 'Shark' (evidently) is the name of the class that creates Shark objects; but, it is not the name of those objects created from that class. If only one Shark object is in your world, and it is there at all times any enemy object is in the world, then:
will get that one Shark object and name it 'shark', which can then use 'getX' on.
1 | Actor shark = (Actor)getWorld().getObjects(Shark.class).get(0); |
