thunderfight20xx missle lockup

Has anyone experienced the missle locking up on Thunderfight20xx if you press the k button rapidly. Any advice on how to avoid that?

Thanks

Yes it's a known bug. It has to do with the way the name of the missile sprite is generated. The name is made of a prefix followed by a random number. On some occasion, when there are a lot of missiles on screen, there is a chance for this name not to be unique.

Since the name it the id of the DOM element this causes this bug. The solution is to use a reasonably large enough counter instead of the random number. The counter will reset to 0 after it reaches some point.

Good call!

Here is the counter fix I put in. I think it works!

/*ASSOCIATE KEYDOWN WITH FIRING MISSILES*/
var IDCount = 0;
$(document).keydown(function(e){
	//if(!gamestate.gameOver && !gamestate.playerHit){			
	switch(e.keyCode){
		case 75: //this is shoot (k)	
		var playerposx = $("#player").x();
		var playerposy = $("#player").y();
		//var name = "playerMissle_"+Math.ceil(Math.random()*1000);
		var name = "playerMissle_"+IDCount++;						
		$("#grouppmissile").addSprite(name,{animation: missile.player, posx: playerposx + 90, posy: playerposy + 14, width: 36,height: 10});				
		$("#"+name).addClass("playerMissiles");
		console.log($("#"+name));
	break;
}
//}
});

Thanks for that tip

Howdy, Stranger!
