Multiple Javascript Files and Variables Question.

[jjwallace]

This might be a stupid question but for some reason, my brain is broken today.

I have a game state that adds a new object and calls a function on it.

BasicGame.Game.prototype = {
    create: function () { 
        var levelController = new LevelController(this, playerType);
        var playerType = 3;
        levelController.makePlayer(playerType);
    },
    createPlayer: function (playerType) { 
        console.log('Player ' + playerType + ' created');
    }
}

I want to access a function from game state.

var LevelController = function (superThis) {};
LevelController.prototype = {}
LevelController.prototype.makePlayer= function(superThis, playerType){  
    superThis.createPlayer(superThis, playerType){ 
}

Uncaught TypeError: BasicGame.Game.makePlayer is not a function at creatPlayer

Uncaught TypeError: BasicGame.Game.makeFish is not a function at InitFish

Where is this code though?

Oops my mistake, that code isnt part of the problem, i forgot to rewrite the error... fixed

You can save the instantiated LevelController on the game or the current state, something like (abbreviated)

var LevelController = function (superThis) {};
LevelController.prototype = {};
// …

BasicGame.Game.prototype = {
  create: function () {
    this.game.levelController = new LevelController(this, playerType);
    this.game.levelController.makePlayer(playerType);
    // …
  }
  // …
};

var LevelController = function (superThis) {};
LevelController.prototype = {};

PlayCon.prototype.makeSchoolFish(superThis){
    superThis.makeFish();
}
// …

BasicGame.Game.prototype = {
  create: function () {
    this.game.levelController = new LevelController(this, playerType);
    this.game.levelController.makePlayer(playerType);
    // …
  },
  makeFish: function(){
      ///this is where i want to get too
  }
  // …
};

Yes i got that far but i want to come back to game....
