Help with myHUD Text

Troubleshooting General Help
1

Hey guys, this is the 1st time i’ve posted and i’m rather new to JME3. I’m having problems updating my HUD text using in simpleUpdate- hudText.setText(“Position: 2”); - the code wont build because the symbol hudText is not found, but it is created in simpleInitApp. The text displays if i comment out the line in simpleUpdate, but wont build if it is included. I’m assuming it is because the variable used for the HUDtext is in a different class but i’m having trouble finding the correct place create the HUDtext.



Any help and assistance will be greatly appreciated :smiley:

You need to put it in the class. If you create it in a method it’ll go away once the method is run. Something like this:



[java]

public class MyGame extends SimpleApplication {



protected BitmapText hudText; // Declare it here.



public void simpleInit(){



hudText = new BitmapText(blabla,blabla); // Initialize here.

}



public void simpleUpdate(float tpf){

hudText.setText(“blablab”);

}



}

[/java]



hudText should show in green then, as it’s a part of the class. Maybe do a search on classes and member variables. And “scope”.
