cosbish Registered 07/12/2006 Points 26	28th April, 2007 at 17:43:49 - I'm unfamiliar with the create an object action...I've been playing around with it but can't seem to solve the problem. Is there something I'm missing? n/a

What sort of problems are you having? How does your shooting system work? Can you give any examples or sample code? We can't read thoughts, you know. n/a

It then "fires" from the player in whatever direction he's facing. What I want to do is to be able to fire multiple shots (within perhaps a second or so of each other) but the problem is that it only positions the original bullet back to the starting point. I tried to use the create an object command when I press the fire button, but the same thing happened. n/a
axel Crazy? Registered 05/02/2005 Points 4766	28th April, 2007 at 18:15:48 - That doesn't sound right? Are you sure you have removed the old action, that positioned the bullet over the player? n/a
cosbish Registered 07/12/2006 Points 26	28th April, 2007 at 18:23:44 - Ah, that was the problem. Thanks. n/a

So you need to think; If you first make a create-object command, then a modify object command: -Create Object Modify (said instance of) Object. Since all actions will affect only objects that are specified in the "Events" on the left column, if 1 is specified. Meanwhile, if NO instance of an object is specified in your event, for example if its just "Player presses keyboard 1", then it will refer to ALL instances of that object. Also, if you have a create-object ACTION, it will now specify THAT particular instance of the object for all actions that follow after it. So if you have the same command "Set horizontal speed of 'object' to 5", doing them in these orders gives different results: "Set Horizontal speed of 'object' to 5": -sets ALL objects to speed 5 "Create- Object": -creates object OR "create- Object": -creates object "Set Horizontal speed of 'object' to 5": -sets THAT 1 specific object to speed 5 In the event grid, these two scenario's look EXACTLY the same. Its different in the event list, and they play out completely differently in results. So make sure your "Set position of bullet to player" action comes AFTER the create action, or ALL existing bullets will be placed on top of your player each time the event triggers. Yeah, that was confusing Gridquest V2.00 is out!! http://www.create-games.com/download.asp?id=7456

axel Crazy? Registered 05/02/2005 Points 4766	29th April, 2007 at 04:11:12 - Well, there's always the event list editor. n/a
Pixelthief Dedicated klik scientist Registered 02/01/2002 Points 3419	29th April, 2007 at 12:12:43 - Yarr, but then we lose the happy advantage of klikin in the first place; the event grid :/ Well, I still do most of my crap in TGF anyway, so gg me Edited by the Author.

axel Crazy? Registered 05/02/2005 Points 4766	29th April, 2007 at 15:40:47 - Problem already solved (8 posts back). GO HOME, PEOPLE. n/a
Pixelthief Dedicated klik scientist Registered 02/01/2002 Points 3419	29th April, 2007 at 19:14:31 - THERES ALWAYS A MORE EFFICIENT ANSWER THO! Lets get an example of instant 360 degree bullets that don't use any active objects and minimize runtime slowdown! Gridquest V2.00 is out!! http://www.create-games.com/download.asp?id=7456
