Thread: Object Speed problem! (move();)

Hey guys! I need some help with my 'Auto(car)' that needs to go slower.. right now it's moving too fast. this is my code:

    public void act() 
    {
        world theWorld = (world) getWorld();  
        if(!theWorld.isPaused)  
        {  
        move(1);
        setAutoImage();
        }
    }    
 
    public void setAutoImage()
    {
        GreenfootImage autoimg = new GreenfootImage("Auto.png");
        if(getX() >= (getWorld().getWidth()-3))
        {
            getWorld().addObject(new Auto(), 0, 60);
            getWorld().removeObject(this);
        }
        setImage(autoimg);
    }
}

As you can see i have move(1);

It cant go any slower.. help please!

ehm.. idk how to do that.. i'll try to explain as good as possible..

There is this car in my game that moves straight in 1 line. (addObject(new Auto(), x, x))
The actor (Auto) has the code I showed in my first post.
I had it set to move(5); which made the car drive ridiculously fast.
I've set it to move(1); but the car is still moving too fast.
I tried move(0.1); but that didn't work obviously..

I've got this in the world to balance the game:

    public void act()
    {
 
       if(!isPaused)
       {
       setScore();
       Greenfoot.setSpeed(40);
       }
       pauseGame();
       started();
    }

so with move(1);
and Greenfoot.setSpeed(40); (of the world)

it drives too fast.

I dont know how to do that:/ im new to programming

I made it with a projectgroup.. here is the code for the game world and the code for the car:

car:

import greenfoot.*;
 
public class Auto extends Game1
{
    public void act() 
    {
        world theWorld = (world) getWorld();  
        if(!theWorld.isPaused)  
        {  
        move(1);
        setAutoImage();
        }
    }    
 
    public void setAutoImage()
    {
        GreenfootImage autoimg = new GreenfootImage("Auto.png");
        if(getX() >= (getWorld().getWidth()-3))
        {
            getWorld().addObject(new Auto(), 0, 60);
            getWorld().removeObject(this);
        }
        setImage(autoimg);
    }
}

Decided to go for it myself. Coded this;

public class Auto extends Game1
{
    private int delcount = 1;
 
    public void act() 
    {
        world theWorld = (world) getWorld();  
        if(!theWorld.isPaused)  
        {  
        delcount++;
        if(delcount == 4)
        {
            move(1);
            delcount = 1;
        }
        setAutoImage();
        }
    }

and it now works.

Thanks for your help though. I couldnt give all the files cuz it was too big.
Sorry!
