How to create a variable on Initialization

FranzVnH FranzVnH

#
Greetings! I am trying to create a variable that records the X and Y values of my actors when the program starts without having to hardcode it in with numbers, the "StartX, and StartY" if you would. Thing is I cannot find a way to tie my newly created variable to the initialization X and Y values and not change. If anyone has any ideas on how to do this, that would be great.

You will need to show your current codes and point to the actor in question.

    public void moveforward(int startX, int startY)
    {
           setLocation(getX() + 5,getY());
           if (getY() <= getWorld().getHeight()/2)
            {if (getX() >= getWorld().getWidth()-getImage().getWidth())
           {
               setLocation(startX, startY);
            }
            setLocation(getX()+5, getY());
        } else
        {
                if(getX() <= getImage().getWidth())
                {
                        setLocation(startX, startY);
                    }
                    setLocation(getX()+5, getY());
                }
                turn(5);
    }
}
The code of the subclass regarding all actors, was made in a way so that the position would reset after the actor reaches a specific point

int startX = getX();
         int startY = getY();
This is the code of one actor in particular, but the value will consistently change because X and Y will constantly change.

Where did you put that? Show entire class codes please.
