Haxe for loop only uses last item - haxe

Question

After some hours doing some testing I figured out that my map contains the correct values, but the loop that I am using only seems to be using the last added value in this map. Am I missing something obvious here?
The function that adds items to the map: (controls is the map variable)
public static function CreateThumbstick(mActorType:ActorType, mLocation:Int, mDirectionLock:Int)
{
var controllerName = "Thumbstick"+mLocation;
if(!controls.exists(controllerName)){
createRecycledActor(mActorType, 0, 0, Script.FRONT);
var lastActor = getLastCreatedActor();
var myPosition = GetPosition(controllerName, lastActor);
lastActor.setX(myPosition.x);
lastActor.setY(myPosition.y);
var myPos = new Vector2(lastActor.getXCenter(), lastActor.getYCenter());
var controlUnit = new ControlUnit(lastActor, myPos, -1);
controls.set(controllerName, controlUnit);
trace("added key: " + controllerName +" with value: "+ lastActor);
} else {
trace("!!WARNING!! Control unit already exists in this position. Command ignored!");
}
}
Upon creating 3 thumbsticks, the log states the following:
added key: Thumbstick1 with value: [Actor 1,Thumbstick]
added key: Thumbstick2 with value: [Actor 2,Thumbstick]
added key: Thumbstick3 with value: [Actor 3,Thumbstick]
When the screen is touched, it should loop through each item in my map, but it is using the last added item 3 times to check the distance with, rather then all 3 items once. Here is the Listener that is being called when the screen is touched:
addMultiTouchStartListener(function(event:TouchEvent, list:Array<Dynamic>):Void
{
for (unit in controls){
trace(lastDebugLine + "checking distance to " + unit.GetActor());
if(GetDistance(unit.GetCenter(), touch.GetPosition()) < 64){
break;
}
}
});
// used "touch.GetPosition()" instead of actuall code for easy reading. This is not causing any problems!
Upon touching the screen, the log states the following:
checking distance to [Actor 3,Thumbstick]
checking distance to [Actor 3,Thumbstick]
checking distance to [Actor 3,Thumbstick]
I am quite new to the Haxe language, so my guess is that I am missing something obvious, even after I have followed the Haxe API very closely. This is the example used from the Haxe API page:
var map4 = ["M"=>"Monday", "T"=>"Tuesday"];
for (value in map4) {
trace(value); // Monday \n Tuesday
}
All explanations are welcome!
Added ControlUnit class:
import com.stencyl.models.Actor;
class ControlUnit
{
static var actor;
static var center;
static var touchID;
public function new(mActor:Actor, mPosition:Vector2, mTouchID:Int)
{
actor = mActor;
center = mPosition;
touchID = mTouchID;
}
public function GetActor():Actor{
return(actor);
}
public function GetCenter():Vector2{
return(center);
}
public function GetTouchID():Int{
return(touchID);
}
}

Answer 1

You just used static for vars in class definitions - they aren't instance aware/based.
Check 'properties', getters, setters etc. in https://haxe.org/manual/class-field-property.html

Answer 2

Are you sure that getLastCreatedActor() is returning a separate instance each time? If it's returning the same instance each time you will likely see what you're getting.

Answer 3

Isn't that because all of your keys map to the same value? Try mapping them to different values and test it.
