Hey,
I'd like to make (and in fact I truly need for tomorrow) a MouseMapper. Here is my situation: I used the "car" example and tuned it by myself in order to create several cars instead of one (for example) or say that a given is "selected". Now I need a set of methods to be able to click somewhere in the windows and say "the car beneath my mouse is selected".

I ran through several posts that dealt with MouseMappers and got some code but I can't make it work with my own code. Help !!

Here is the problem of the day.

I hijacked the PlantManager to create cubes instead of plants. I already found a way to create them wherever I want, but now gotta move them. To do this, I need to select them.

My guess was to use the array that is created in the manager. My "moveCube" fonction is in the CarTest file and needs to modify the cubes in the CubeManager ("Cube" replaces "Plant"). I wrote the function below to select the cubes:

   public Cube CubeSelect(int numero) {
       return cubes[numero];
   }

but I can't use it in the CarTest file. When launching the game, it crashes with:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

my function looks a bit like this:

      public void moveCube(int num) {

      if (cubeleft) {
          cubeMan.CubeSelect(num).turnLeft();
      }
      if (cuberight) {
         cubeMan.CubeSelect(num).turnRight();
      }

where cubeleft and cuberight are event. the problem comes from the "cubeMan. ..."

Any idea ?

thx in advance

Hi everyone !

I'm a total beginner trying to make a video game using jpct. I used the sources of the examples to help me out and, so far, it works fine. but a problem raised with the camera.

In the "car" example, the camera is attached to the car: I want to set it free. For the moment, I removed the movement but I can't manage to make it move using the keyboard. Each movement done pressing a given key, is undone when releasing the key ...

Has anyone got a model or any hint ?
thx
