Gamemaker2010 Registered 22/10/2008 Points 31	8th December, 2008 at 02:02:47 - I really appreciate the help ive been getting but i got more problems. 1) So does anyone know how to "Push" my character up and back when he gets hit. Im using default platform movement. 2) I have a health pack feature in the game but i have problems with that too. Here is what i've got. YOu get 3 packs. When youuse one you get a health boost. How do i make it so that when you have zero you cant get anymore health. Right now i have it working but if you press the button and you have none left you still get health. Someone help please!

I don't know how to help you. Here is what i have for my helathpack. Im a bit confused Healthpack > 0 then Global value D =1 Global Value D= 1, Upon pressing"0" then Subract 1 from health counter, and add 1 to player 1 health. Healthpacks = 0 then Global value D = 0 Global Value D= 0 then This is where im stuck Whats a goon to a GOBLIN?

Is this some sort of flag to tell MMF that there are either some or none at all? I don't see why this can't be done with just one event. Event: Player presses "Use healthpack key" Condition: Healthpack counter > 0 Action: Subtract 1 from healthpack counter, add 1 to player health. It's saying, if the player presses the key and there is actually more than zero healthpacks, then the player can use one and it will subtract one of the healthpacks for you. If there is 0 left, the condition is void and therefore the event is useless and the action will not take place. n/a

After a while I just got used to the way the program works and you try to cram as much as you can into events. (Sometimes biting off more than you can chew ) n/a

When bullet exits screen to the right then destroy bullet. The problem is the bullet keeps on going and kills enemies you aren't supposed to see yet. Is there another way? Whats a goon to a GOBLIN?
[DELETED] Likes to put dots on paper Registered 08/12/2008 Points 118	10th December, 2008 at 05:00:22 - Theoretically, that sounds correct. Maybe try just "Bullet leaves the play area" and destroy it. n/a

Gamemaker2010 Registered 22/10/2008 Points 31	16th December, 2008 at 01:21:31 - Is it possible to make a backdrop scroll, i know with an active object you just check the "Follow The Frame" box but a backdrop doesn't have that. There is an awesome backdrop of a sunset in the multimedia disc library but it cant scroll with the game. I tried copying the image and then pasting it as an active object but that makes it look weird and distorts it. Can Somebody Please Help? Whats a goon to a GOBLIN?
