let me rework this post/problem stuff a bit later because i have to figure out what is wrong myself, my main problem although is that i am getting syntax errors caused by the vector class

You create the double 'force' in the constructor. This value is lost once the method is left. So it isn't saved after that and can't be found.

Start with the class of the car -- give it the ability of variable speed (use a speed field and a method to increase the speed).

Sorry about my absence from this discussion, been a bit busy. Anyways, I believe that I have found another discussion that will fulfill my needs. Thank You! -TheGoldenBucket

thank you ;)

@richardzombie, please start a new discussion thread for your issue and do not revive old threads. Also, please show your code for what you have tried.

You can add a reference field to the class to hold the added actor so you can remove it when the conditions are right (I presume at line 35): <Code Omitted>then when creating it: <Code Omitted>and to remove it: <Code Omitted>I am skeptical a

lines 3-5 of what you posted in the Counter class, do not belong in that class. You need to put those lines at whatever point it is that you want to increase the count - that is, whenever your main actor collects a target. This will probably be in the main actor class.

An applet does not normally have permission to read and write files on the local system, so you can't user FileReader as you do above. Also, the file when exported is inside the jar file that makes up your scenario, so it doesn't exist as a separate file. I do have an example scenario showing how you can read file contents from files embedded within your scenario, though.

Thanks got it!

While in the editor, select 'Options>Preferences...' from the menubar; in the 'Editor' tab, change the font size to 14 or so and click the 'Ok' button. From outside the editor, you can get to the 'Preferences' dialog box by 'Ctrl-,' (control-comma).

How does setting the rotation of the image that actor has change that actors location? There are only two Actor class methods that change the position of an actor. Please review the Actor class documentation (the methods available and what they do, in particular).

If you were to code it in the Ladybug class, you would need a field to distinguish one from the other as far as which direction they will move. An int type field would be easiest in this case. One instance can have a value of '1' while the other has a value of '-1'. Then multiply both value parameters in the 'setLocation' statement by the field.
