Problem with a 2d game in java...

[Call Me Jimmy!]

Hey guys, I have a space invaders type game pretty much done but i'm trying to limit the amount of player bullets on screen to 5.

Player (the ship) and Bullet are two seperate sub-classes of Actor and I want an int in the Player class to be updated in a method in the Bullet class.

It just wont seem to work.

I have within a method in Bullet a part that removes the bullet when it goes off-screen (y < 0) and it is here that i want to change an int in the Player class.

Then I want the int to be used again in the player class.

If i havent made any sense i could post the code as well.

Thanks

You are not making much sense, please post your code.

basically, as far as I understand it, what you want is something this:

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12   13   14   15   16   17   18   19   20   21

class SomethingA {    private int myInt;    public int getMyInt() {        return myInt;    }    public void setMyInt(int newInt) {        this.myInt = newInt;    } } class SomethingB {    private SomethingA myReferenceToTheOtherClass;    public SomethingB(SomethingA other) {       // lets change something in the other class!     this.myReferenceToTheOtherClass = other;      this.myReferenceToTheOtherClass.setMyInt(666); // hah! 666 is evil   } }

Hey 
Thanks a lot for the help, i managed to do what i wanted thanks to you!

in terms of your words

in the somethingB class i didnt have the somethingA other, i had just this other class and forgot completely to put in the somethingA class

again, thank you.
