I am using a particle effect that goes to where you click and doesn't stop. When I click somewhere the particle goes accordingly. However when I click again the particle starts going through its effect faster and faster and I am completely stumped as to why. I am assuming it is within the SpellParent class because it happens with all spells and all spells as of right now are generally the same as the parent. Here is the parent spell class
public SpellParent(Player player, float x, float y, float scalar){ this.player = player; this.position = new Vector2(player.getHandPosition().x, player.getHandPosition().y); this.destination = new Vector2(x, y); this.isAlive = true; this.gridPosition = new Vector2(); particle = new ParticleEffect(); emitter = new ParticleEmitter(); emitter.setName("asshole"); } @Override public void update() { particle.update(Gdx.graphics.getDeltaTime()); if(particle.isComplete()) particle.reset(); particle.setPosition(position.x, position.y); //particle.getEmitters().first().setPosition(position.x, position.y); if(position.x >= destination.x - 1 && position.x <= destination.x + 1) reachedX = true; if(position.y >= destination.y - 1 && position.y <= destination.y + 1) reachedY = true; if(!reachedX){ if(position.x < destination.x){ velocity.x = 1f; } else if(position.x > destination.x){ velocity.x = -1f; } } if(!reachedY){ if(position.y < destination.y){ velocity.y = 1f; } else if(position.y > destination.y){ velocity.y = -1f; } } if(reachedX && reachedY){ startBehavior(); }else if(reachedY){ velocity.y = 0; }else if(reachedX){ velocity.x = 0; } position.x += velocity.x; position.y += velocity.y; gridPosition.x = position.x / MapGrid.CELL_SIZE; gridPosition.y = position.y / MapGrid.CELL_SIZE; } @Override public void render(SpriteBatch batch) { //if(isAlive) //emitter.draw(batch); particle.draw(batch); batch.draw(TextureTuples.dirt, position.x, position.y, 10, 10); } and here is the input listener to see how it is called
@Override public boolean keyDown(int keycode) { if(keycode == Keys.NUM_1){ referenceSpell = new FlameSpell(player, tmp.x, tmp.y, .2f); } if(keycode == Keys.NUM_2){ referenceSpell = new HealthRingSpell(player, tmp.x, tmp.y, .2f); } public boolean touchDown(int screenX, int screenY, int pointer, int button) { tmp.x = screenX; tmp.y = screenY; tmp.z = 0; cam.unproject(tmp); stage.addSpell(referenceSpell); stageSpells.add(referenceSpell); grid.checkAndDestroy(new Vector2(tmp.x, tmp.y)); return false; } Just to clarify here is an example. My health ring spell is a ring of blue that goes from a small ring to a big ring, therefor pulsates in size. However if I click again it starts doing its size change faster and faster and faster. With the flame spell that shoots right its x velocity will go very fast on multiple clicks. Any help is extremely appreciated
