Merged posts from Zed's Engine Topic here.

Post teh code plz.

[Zunar]

Here's my problem:
I have my game set to show a message extension when you press P.

Game Paused
Resume---Game Info---Quit

How can I make it where you click Resume and the message closes and you continue the room?

How do you create sprite and object folders?

Right click > Create Group
OR
<Shift> + <Insert>

Name: Super Sonic

Don't put spaces in names.
Use "_" instead.
And it's case sensitive.
So if your object is called Super_Sonic you would have to do Super_Sonic.x
Hope this helps!!!!!

I now get this:

Code: Select all

___________________________________________
ERROR in
action number 1
of  Step Event
for object Missle:

Error in expression:Super_Sonic.x
 position 13: Unknown variable x

___________________________________________
ERROR in
action number 1
of  Step Event
for object Missle:

Error in expression:Super_Sonic.y
 position 13: Unknown variable y


Help me out!

Post teh code plz.

[Zed98]

I'm assuming you want it in D&D:
Just put this in the step event.

(On the first page ("move") on bottom)
x: sonic.x
y: sonic.y
speed: 5
stop at: solid only

Replace "sonic" with the object you want it to home in on.

Hope this helps!!!!!

(AKA, I did Drag and Drop)

[Suyo]

And your object is EXACTLY called Super_Sonic? The object must be called like this.

[Zed98]

Yeah, but then about the homing step?

[Suyo]

Yeah, but then about the homing step?

wut?

Call the object SuperSonic or something, then wirte SuperSonic.x and SuperSonic.y

[Zed98]

Code: Select all

___________________________________________
ERROR in
action number 2
of Alarm Event for alarm 0
for object Missle:

Error in expression:SuperSonic.x
 position 12: Unknown variable x

___________________________________________
ERROR in
action number 2
of Alarm Event for alarm 0
for object Missle:

Error in expression:SuperSonic.y
 position 12: Unknown variable y


This happens when sonic gets hurt, because sonic getting hurt is not the same object.


But the parent of them is an object I called camera (for the view), so that will be the target of the missles.
