Problem in Restarting the game

[abdul]

Hi

 

I have a game restart function.

i.e

function restart () {            game.state.restart();}

I am calling it two times, one time when player all lives kill, then I am calling it from update function, and it is working well. i.e

if(player.position.y>game.world.height){                        live = lives.getFirstAlive();            if (live)                            live.kill();                                player.reset(120, game.world.height - 70);                                if (lives.countLiving() < 1){                        player.kill();                                   stateText.text=" GAME OVER \n Click to restart";                    stateText.visible = true;                    //the "click to restart" handler                    game.input.onTap.addOnce(restart,this);                                                        }                          }

second time I am calling it when player wins the game, and wish to restart it, but this it doesn't restart the game ... i.e

if(diamondScore>=2 && starScore>=2)                {                    player.kill();                    stateText.text=" Congrajulations\nYou Won \n Click to restart";                    stateText.visible = true;                    game.input.onTap.addOnce(restart,this);                                }

anyone has any idea regards this,,,

This looks like a scope issue. 'this' may not be what you expect it to be depending on if things are inside functions etc. To be sure, rather than do it your way, try it this way:

game.input.onTap.addOnce(function() {  game.state.restart();}, this);

Because 'game' is definitely accessible when you add the handler, it'll also definitely be accessible within this context. Then you don't have to worry about where your 'restart' function is in relation to the current context.

[abdul]

game.input.onTap.addOnce(function() {  game.state.restart();}, this);

It is not working..

same problem..

it resets all things, but the text "Congrajulations You Won  Click to restart" remains there and player doesn't come.

You may need to add a shutdown function to your state and clean up any stuff that's left over. I'm afraid I don't know a lot about states in the case of using them to manage scenes, so I can't assist very much in this topic.
