Hi guys,
i have an actor-subclass called "Monster" and i'm trying to create an array of two "Monsters" in a world constructor with a reference for other classes to access. after the compilation the world constructor throws a NullPointerException when the first "Monster" should be "created". the same thing works perfectly fine with the actor-subclass "Hero", obviously i'm not using arrays correctly...
probably a pretty dumb question. sorry, i'm new to java.
thanks for your help!
public class HeroWorld extends World
{
private Hero theHero;
private Monster[] theMonsters;
public HeroWorld()
{
super(10, 10, 60);
setBackground("cell.jpg");
setPaintOrder(Hero.class, Monster.class);
theHero = new Hero();
addObject(theHero, 0, 0); // add 1 Hero, reference theHero
// add 2 Monsters, reference Monsters[0] to Monsters[1]
theMonsters[0] = new Monster();
theMonsters[1] = new Monster();
addObject(theMonsters[0],2,2);
addObject(theMonsters[1],3,3);
}
