Issue with istance of a custom control

Troubleshooting General Help
1

I am having an issue with instances of a custom control sharing variables. Any help is much appreciated.

2

Can you talk a bit more about the problem? Your attempting to share/receive variables from other controls or other classes?

3

I have a control for a simple path finding along a grid for a spatial. The control receives a destination and moves the spacial to that destination. The issue is when i have more than one instance of the control they will share the destination variable and probably other variables causing any previously selected spatial’s to move to the last selected destination.

4

Is the destination variable a Vector3f? Did you try cloning it? I had this problem too and i solved it by cloning the vector3f.

5

Also… just double checking… but you are adding a different instance of the control to each spatial, right? ie: not just reusing the same control object?

6

The distance variable is a Vector3f and yes i am adding a different instance to each control. How would i go about cloning the variable? Also i am using a modified CharacterController for my custom control and the issue is solved when i use walkDirection to hold my destination vector. I would of course prefer to use my own variables though.

Everything in jme that implements "Cloneable" has the "clone()" method, and the Vector3f implements it.
[java]
Vector3f destinationClone = destination.clone();
[/java]

Can you show us the code for the control and the code where you create each one and add them to the spatial?
