    ObjectOption1 is not a static class nor does it have any static methods.. heres the class

    Default Re: non-static variable

    CastleWars.Portal
    This is the syntax for referring to a static variable in the CastleWars class. To refer to an instance variable, create an instance of the class and use that.
    CastleWars anInstanceOfCastleWars = new CastleWars(); // create an instance
    anInstanceOfCastleWars.Portal // refer to the Portal variable in that instance

    Where is the variable p defined? Is it in scope on the lines where you are trying to use it? 122, 124, 126, 141
