getObjectsInRange is always empty?

The following code should have my actor circling around a Center as long as it's in range, and moving in a straight line otherwise: 
public void act()
{
    List<Center> centers = getObjectsInRange(1200, Center.class);
    for(Center c : centers)
    {
        turnTowards(c.getX(), c.getY());
        turn(90);
    }
    move(1);
}
For some reason, it is never turning, even when it's extremely close to or even on top of a Center. I tried getObjectsInRange(Integer.MAX_VALUE, Center.class), which should pick up the center in any reasonable situation, but it doesn't. I'm afraid I might be overlooking something obvious.

The code given is not the reason for the behavior you are getting. Please post your World subclass codes and your Center class codes.

Could it be that the object is turning (the image), but it only keeps moving straight? Does your actor extend the SmoothMover class? If not, did you try changing the 1 in line 9 to something higher? It's just a guess.

Actually, I figured it out. When I just create a Center in the GUI and press Run, it is not seen by the method getObjectsInRange. I have to either Save the World or manually create it in the world's prepare method. It's not the most convenient, but at least now I know it's not a problem with my code.
