(jframe) get a variable out of array list

[joelharkes]

i want p2.y to be the y of the other object how do i to that? if tried much but it all didnt work.

for(int x=0;x<gt.size();x++){
			gt.get(x).place();
			if(gt.get(x).rect.intersects(p2.rect)&&p2.vspeed>0){
				p2.vspeed=0;
		----->	p2.y=gt.y;
			}
		}

thanks,

[Norm]

of the other object

If the other object is referred to by qt then
p2.y = qt.y; // Set p2's y from qt's y

it all didnt work.

Please explain how or what?

[joelharkes]

i tried to call up the array wich caused the intersect and i want that y in the p2.y

[Norm]

Your explanation doesn't tell me what the code is.
Can you show the code.

Your posted code doesn't show an array

Ok, now can you put some comments in the code showing where the problem is?

In case you don't know what a comment is, its something like this:
/* comments here */
or
// This is another way to comment

Whoops, I missed that you have 2 comments in the code.

code of main class:

//name
//Shooter Game
//Main Class
	
		}
				//watch if instersects ground
		for(int x=0;x<gt.size();x++){
			gt.get(x).place();
			if(gt.get(x).rect.intersects(p2.rect)&&p2.vspeed>0){
				p2.vspeed=0;
------->>>>>>     	p2.y=gt.y;    <<<<<-------------
			}
		}

im just trying to call up the y coordinate of the gt wich is checkcig so
something like:
gt.x.y
gt(x).y
something like that but that doesnt work

[Norm]

but that doesnt work

What variable is being set by the code shown?
p2.y=gt.y;

Where is the p2 object? Does its member y have the value from gt.y after your assignment statement?

Are there other objects of the same type as p2 that could confuse you?
Add some debugging code to show when and where the value of y is changed for ALL Player objects. The println() statement will need to include some id for the Player's who's y value is being changed.

[Moon_E]

try this

p2.y = gt.get(x).y;

[Norm]

If that works it's interesting that gt has a member y and the object returned by get() also has a y.

Makes for confusion and errors. QED
