Forums » Help » Browser freezes if swaping entities

Hi,

I am trying to switch between two entities that 1 player can control. However, everytime I do it the browser freezes.

swap: true, is defined in main. In EntityA in the update function is the following code:

##if(ig.game.swap){

if(ig.input.pressed('swap')){

ig.game.swap=false;
this.kill();
ig.game.spawnEntity(EntityB, this.pos.x, this.pos.y, {flip:this.flip});

}

}

In EntityB the following code is defined in the update function:

##if(ig.game.swap==false){
""if(ig.input.pressed('swap')){
""ig.game.swap=true;
this.kill();
ig.game.spawnEntity(EntityA, this.pos.x, this.pos.y, {flip:this.flip});""
}
""
}

Any idea why the browser 'freezes'?

Something got messed up, up there! Another try:

do you have any errors to the console? do you have any accidental infinite loops?

For those who have a similar issue. I don't use a Boolean now but use instead an additinal key for the swap.

P.S.: @SlouchCouch no accidental infinite loops but thanks anyway.
