That error was not produced with the code given above. What is your revised code that this came from?

Is the entire scenario to be paused until both are created? If not, then you cannot use the delay method. you would need to use an int timer field.

If the target for a projectile is fixed, why did you add lines that change the number?

Makes what slow -- the running of the scenario or the coding of it?

Ok, so it was the second option... Thank you! I can not believe I forgot about it

This tutorial page has a section on Saving the World, which allows your actors to be immediately initialized.

Many many thanks! It is working just perfectly!

Your world is an object which can spawn actors into itself. Add an act method to your World subclass.

@Archerfish, the general equation is: <Code Omitted>I am surprised you missed the "+1" immediately after stating why "121" was used.

thank you

Thank you I'm taking a look at it right now!

Sorry for a late reply... I took into consideration what you guys have said and fixed the code! Thank you! Here's the fixed code... import greenfoot.*; import java.util.*; public class Textboxes extends Actor { int t = 0;//counter GreenfootImage textArrays = {new GreenfootImage("RekaText1.png"),new GreenfootImage("RekaText2.png"),new GreenfootImage("RekaText3.png"), new GreenfootImage("RekaText4.png"),new GreenfootImage("RekaText5.png"),new GreenfootImage("RekaText6.png")}; //GreenfootImage array to store images public void act() { picTimer();

So you want that a new key spawns every five seconds? I think I didn’t understand how collecting or not collecting is affecting the timer. Using a static variable for it seems pretty unnecessary though.

Thank you very much for you help, it worked.

I figured it out. Thank you for your time. You are a legend that replies to all the posts. Dan the man
