[java] trouble x 10

Could u write down some psudocode for what you want to do? I''m not usre I get hwat you want to say....

ok, this is preaty much like I have done it:

------------------------

class player {
final int intro=1;
final int playgame=2;
int state=intro;

void handleinput() {
if( keyDown ) {
// I want to change the state here
state = playgame;
}
}
}


class space extends player {

(and in the rungame method):
handleinput();

switch() {
case intro:
break;

case playgame:
break;
}

}

------------------------

The strange thing is, this is working if I change the state in the "player" constructor only, but if I change it in any other method, it do not work.. :/

try placing a super before referencing the variables in the space class. super.state=super.playgame or something lik ethat.... not sure if it will help at all, but maybe it''s wortha try....

no, i still can''t make it work.. hehe, the reason is probably just becaouse I''m very stupid, but is''t this like the heaven of OOP??

The thing is that the way you describe it it should work.

public class test {
        public static final int STATE_1=0;
        public static final int STATE_2=1;
        protected int state;
        public test(){
                state=STATE_1;
        }
                                                                                
        public static void main(String[] arg){
                test2 ts=new test2();
        }
}
                                                                                
class test2 extends test {
        public test2(){
                super();
                System.out.println("Initial state is="+state);
                System.out.println("Changing state...");
                state=STATE_2;
                System.out.println("Final state is="+state);
        }
}
                                                                                

This code snippet works fine. Is this something like what you wanted or...?

jupp, thanx! It works fine now, really cool
