Functions and Arrays
Nov 26th, 2008, 1:23am  
Hey,

i have a little problem, basically i have an array which spawns 100 balls and this if statement checks to see if they hit the edge of the window, and if so to reverse there course and to play a sequencer track.

void keepBalls() {
 for (int j=0; j<ballCount; j++){
   if (xpos[j]+wdth[j]/2>=width || xpos[j]<=wdth[j]/2){
     xspeed[j]*=-1;
     sequencer.start();
     }
   }

the problem is the track only plays once as it is not being called from the array. i basically need to call the function every time the if statement is true,

any ideas?


thanks!

Alex

I don't know what you mean by 'called from the array', but that piece of code looks ok to me.

maybee your sequencer can only play one sound at a time and therefore it gets started multiple times but you only hear it once?

you are doing exactly what you want: you call the start() method once for each time the expression evaluates to true.
