Hi folks!

This is a bit technical question, i create an Zombie-Actor, which itself creates an Zombie-Eye actor.
I set the parent upon creation to Event Actor so that the newly Zombie-Actor is the parent of the Zombie Eye. (moves with the Zombie Actor)

But: When i destroy the Zombie Actor, the "child" (the Zombie Eyes) arent destroyed as well. How can i access the Zombie-Eye actor?? (destroy it, move it, apply effects to it)

Any help really appreciated

Since they're always created together, they probably also have the same cloneindex, right?
So access the Zombieeye something like this:

Code: Select all

sprintf(actornamevar, "Zombieeye.%i", cloneindex);
DestroyActor(getclone(actornamevar));

I think that will do it. Create a variable for actornamevar, instead of Zombieeye use the actor name of the Zombie eyes. Put this code into the Destroy Actor event of the Zombie itself, and it should destroy its eyes with it.
Didn't test it, but it should work somehow this way
Hope that could help!

Thanks! I will give it a try
