Creating an entity for a bird snare

[iponu777]

So say i have a bird snare and i want to refer back to at that specific position.. How would i refer back to it later??

 

so like i want to be like

 

 

birdSnareOrigin.interact("pickup");

 

but how would i declare that... 

[Lemons]

// Define this as a field, not local var!

ArrayList<Position> mySnares = new ArrayList<Position>();

 

// Run this when you want to add a Position

mySnares.add(theSnareEntity.getPosition());

 

// Run this when you want to retrieve a snare via its Position

Entity mySnare = getObjects().closest(new NameFilter("Snare"), new PositionFilter(mySnares.get(snareIndex));

mySnares.remove(snareIndex);

mySnare.interact("Pickup");

linked lists are usually better performance when doing a lot of adding/removing from the lists

Not something to worry about at this level :p

I understand lists and stuff, just not the syntax or stuff like filters and some other stuff... my knowledge is limited to AP CS teachings,. Where just learning really about polymorphism, inheritance, and stuff like that for sub and super classes atm
