Slick Forums

Ive recently started learning java and have been playing with slick and have been enjoying it quite a bit. Its so simple! lol. I followed a tutorial for and Entity and Component based game. I had created a component called RadialCollision that moves a Entity somewhere else when the object gets in range of another to test if the collision was working. And it works... once. I cannot explain why this is. Ive been working on it for days and I simply cannot understand why it only works once! The logic looks pretty solid and Ive gone over the other components to see if maybe they where interfering but have had no luck at all. Its driving me bonkers >_< lol. Can any of the gurus lurking around here maybe peek at my source and help me figure out where I went wrong? Any help for this budding developer would be greatly appreciated:).

The tutorial I initially followed: http://slick.cokeandcode.com/wiki/doku.php?id=entity_tutorial

My full source: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9159394/test_game.zip

In the RadialCollision class you replace the owner's Vector2f with another instance of Vector2f upon collision.
That works fine at first because effect_location has the desired values [0,0], but whenever you collide after that, your are assigning effect_location as the owner's location Vector2f object again.

Replace

with this

Doing that will set the values in the owners location Vector2f to the values in effect_location, rather than replacing it.
