Cloning

[Dark RyNo]

Is there any way to clone an actor and then make it different without changing the original?
I need my character to gain an action and i dont want to have to redo all the events he has.

The age old question.

At present, there is no way to copy an actor.

You must create a new one and copy all the events/actions/scripts by hand.

Note:

If your actors are being created at runtime you could use an actor variable "myType" to assign it a behaviour. You could then program a generic "enemy" and choose its type when created. It's all very tricky though and not to be attempted by the faint hearted.

Damn.
This is gonna take a while.

Wait!
Could I change his animation and then say, if animation=anim2 then create actor(bullet)

Fixed!
I got around this by making a variable.
You can only do this action if the variable is 1.
It starts at 0.
When you pick up the powerup it changes to 1.
Along with your animation changes and stuff.
My game is getting good now.
well, good for a n00b with only 9 days of game making.
