Projectile Spam

Where does the private boolean go? in the object shooting the projectile or the actual projectile? and same for the "in act" one

Ill just send you the code I have right now. Dolphin(the thing shooting the projectile) import greenfoot.*; // (World, Actor, GreenfootImage, Greenfoot and MouseInfo) /** * Write a description of class Dolphin here. * * @author (your name) * @version (a version number or a date) */ public class Dolphin extends Actor { /** * Act - do whatever the Dolphin wants to do. This method is called whenever * the 'Act' or 'Run' button gets pressed in the environment. */ public void act() { if(Greenfoot.isKeyDown("W")) { setLocation(getX(), getY()-6); } if(Greenfoot.isKeyDown("S")) { setLocation(getX(), getY()+6); } if (Greenfoot.isKeyDown("space")) { Shoot(); } } /** * Shoot - shoots projectile straight out from dolphin's position. * the 'Act' or 'Run' button gets pressed in the environment. */ public void Shoot() { getWorld().addObject(new Bubble(), getX(), getY()); } } Bubble(projectile) import greenfoot.*; // (World, Actor, GreenfootImage, Greenfoot and MouseInfo) /** * Write a description of class bubble here. * * @author (your name) * @version (a version number or a date) */ public class Bubble extends Actor { /** * Act - do whatever the bubble wants to do. This method is called whenever * the 'Act' or 'Run' button gets pressed in the environment. */ public void act() { setLocation(getX() + 10, getY()); } }

Both in the object shooting the projectile (your Dolphin class)

Im getting alot of errors when i put it in and i dont really understand it

Show revised class codes. Use code tags (see below reply box).

can you just put it inside this code so i can copy paste it into mine? import greenfoot.*; // (World, Actor, GreenfootImage, Greenfoot and MouseInfo) /** * Write a description of class Dolphin here. * * @author (your name) * @version (a version number or a date) */ public class Dolphin extends Actor { /** * Act - do whatever the Dolphin wants to do. This method is called whenever * the 'Act' or 'Run' button gets pressed in the environment. */ public void act() { if(Greenfoot.isKeyDown("W")) { setLocation(getX(), getY()-6); } if(Greenfoot.isKeyDown("S")) { setLocation(getX(), getY()+6); } if (Greenfoot.isKeyDown("space")) { Shoot(); } } /** * Shoot - shoots projectile straight out from dolphin's position. * the 'Act' or 'Run' button gets pressed in the environment. */ public void Shoot() { getWorld().addObject(new Bubble(), getX(), getY()); } }

Hello?...

The bubble(projectile) code is the same but I put what you said in my Dolphin(projectile shooter) code and nothing changed it still spams the projectiles - New Dolphin Code - import greenfoot.*; // (World, Actor, GreenfootImage, Greenfoot and MouseInfo) /** * Write a description of class Dolphin here. * * @author (your name) * @version (a version number or a date) */ public class Dolphin extends Actor { private boolean spaceDown; /** * Act - do whatever the Dolphin wants to do. This method is called whenever * the 'Act' or 'Run' button gets pressed in the environment. */ public void act() { if(Greenfoot.isKeyDown("W")) { setLocation(getX(), getY()-6); } if(Greenfoot.isKeyDown("S")) { setLocation(getX(), getY()+6); } if (Greenfoot.isKeyDown("space")) { Shoot(); } if (spaceDown != Greenfoot.isKeyDown("space")) // key state change { spaceDown = ! spaceDown; //updating state if (spaceDown) Shoot(); // shoot on key press } } /** * Shoot - shoots projectile straight out from dolphin's position. * the 'Act' or 'Run' button gets pressed in the environment. */ public void Shoot() { getWorld().addObject(new Bubble(), getX(), getY()); } }
