Faster And Faster!
Post: #1
I am almost the only person that posts here in the obj-c secion......
every time i reopen a map the trolls run around faster and faster.
i know it is because i use [NSTimer and stuff here] more than once with out undoing the old one so they overlap... but how do i fix it?
CODES!
here is my open method all you need to know i think...

Code:
- (IBAction)open:(id)sender
{
[trollObjects removeAllObjects];
numOfTrolls = 0;
numOfPads = 0;
NSString *lvl1 = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"lvl1" ofType:@"txt"]];
int a, b;
int index = 0;
for (a = 19 ; a >= 0 ; a--) {
for (b = 0 ; b < 20 ; b++) {
switch ([lvl1 characterAtIndex:index]) {
case '#':
enviro[b][a] = WALL;
objects[b][a] = WALL;
break;
case '@':
objects[b][a] = HERO;
xpoh = b;
ypoh = a;
break;
case '+':
enviro[b][a] = GRASS;
objects[b][a] = NONE;
break;
case '$':
objects[b][a] = BLOCK;
break;
case '&':
enviro[b][a] = GRASS;
objects[b][a] = NONE;
padPos[b][a] = PAD;
numOfPads++;
break;
case '*':
objects[b][a] = TROLL;
enviro[b][a] = GRASS;
[trollObjects addObject: [[[Troll alloc] initWithX: b Y: a] autorelease]];
numOfTrolls++;
break;
}
index++;
}
index++;
}
[self setNeedsDisplay:YES];
[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1.0
target:self
selector:@selector(moveTrolls:)
userInfo:nil
repeats:YES];
}

Save a pointer to the instance of the NSTimer you create. Then invalidate it before you create a new one.
