I'm having an issue with my boss' health. This is for a class assignment and I need the value to change as the player's attack hits the boss. Currently the bossHealth value only changes in one class and not the other. This is an issue because I draw boss health bar in a separate class but directed greenfoot to look in the specific class that contains the health value to update it.
*Directed bullet to boss class to check if it is intersecting
*Then Directed to boss constructur in boss class
*Lastly directed to bossHp(boss health bar) for the boss health value
I tried to debug it and it shows that once the bullet hits the boss the "bossHit.bossLife.bossHealth" decreases(printed it out in the terminal). However when I go to the bossHealth variable in the BossHp class and print that one out it remains constant. So it never matches the updated value in the bullet class(where health for the boss is being subtracted once it hits the boss).
I've concluded that it is an issue of greenfoot not being able to find the correct value and update it when it is drawn in bossHP.class. I've added the boss health bar into the world as well so I do see it just that it doesn't decrease as bullets hit the boss.
Any help with what the issue is will be very much appreciated.
