Getting information about myPlayer from the gui class

[roguehippo]

Basically, what the title says. I was wondering how i am supposed to get live data like myPlayer().getPosition from a different class than main like from a gui. thanks

Pass around a reference to the Script class

Pass around a reference to the Script class

i dont quite understand what you mean by passing around a reference to the script class. how would i reference it? and are you talking about my main class?

class GUI{
    MethodProvider m;
    public GUI(MethodProvider m){
        this.m = m;
    }

    //example method
    private Position getPos(){
        return m.myPlayer().getPosition();
    }
}

class YourScript extends Script{
    GUI gui = new GUI(this);

    public void onStart(){
        gui.setVisible(true);
    }
}

Something like that should work

in your new class:

 

MethodProvider script;
 
public yourclass(MethodProvider _script) //constructor
{
   this.script = _script;
}
 
public void somemethod()
{
   script.myPlayer().something;
}
 
in your main class
yourclass c = new yourclass(this);
