How do I access a variable from another FlxSprite class?

wizardtowerjs

Hi. This is a bit of a beginner question, but I'm asking because I cannot find a clear answer through tutorials or open source projects I sift through.

The position of one of my game's objects relies on the position of another game object, what is the easiest way to access the x of that object in a different flxsprite class? [sprite].x gives me an error, and unless something is seriously wrong with my project, this is to be expected. My current solution is to make a public float in the second flxsprite class, and set it to the x of the first flxsprite in the playstate. I assume that there must be a more convenient solution.

The solution of [sprite].x should work fine. Maybe you are not creating an instance of the sprite? Would it be possible to see some code?

Anything extending FlxSprite already has a x and y variable that you can read/write!
So you don't need to create a new public float when extending a FlxSprite :)
For example:

var player:FlxSprite = new FlxSprite(100, 100);
add(player);
var pet:FlxSprite = new FlxSprite(0, 0);
add(pet);

if (pet.x != player.x)
{
    pet.x = player.x;
}

Hope this helps! :)
