Zdepth = actor+ 0.00001 ???

[Oman]

Hello,

Can i do a code something like this?

Code: Select all

ZDepth=shadow.ZDepth+0.00001;

I know this doesn't work, but can someone help me make it work
(i put it in Create Actor of my player actor)

I want my player to have the same zdepth of my shadow + 0.00001

How can i do it?

Can you make the player parent of shadow?
If not try:

Code: Select all

ZDepth=getclone("shadow")->ZDepth+0.00001;

I don't know if it will work either

No, i cant make the player parent of the shadow. (the shadow has a transparancy).

And with your code i get an illegal structure error.

hmmm...

What if you create a global variable named anything where you will attrib the ZDepth os both actors.

Code: Select all

anything=.006;
ChangeZDepth("player", anything);
ChangeZDepth("shadow", anything+.00001);

Glad I could help you

also, I believe that ZDepth is not a variable. should be though, so that you could read from it!

[Oman]

yes.. that way i could read the zdepth from a actor(1) then, on another actor(2), change it so no matter what zdepth it is, it will copy the first
actor(1) + 0.00001;

perhaps a future request...

P.S. Game a gogo, i pm ed u, it has nothing to do with this though.
