Now i need help with making a speed trail follow my ice-ball
my player creates them using [/] left way right way
i already matched them to the fireballs.
basiccaly my fireballs go on in 1 direction with no path until the hit something and die.
i have 2 ice balls and 2 ice trails they are already matched and the parents of the trails are the ice ball corresponding to them
i also might need help making the ice balls freeze the person that they touch.

to do what you want, you don't need to use the getTime(); function. just use a timer (1000ms long) and make two character, one for the seconds, one for the minutes.

in the actor for the seconds, do this code at the timer:

Code: Select all

textNumber++;
if(textNumber>=60)
{
    textNumber=0;
    Minutes.textNumber++;
}

[xr2alex99]

so for the minutes and seconds they are kinda the same.
or do i just leave the seconds so that it builds up how many seconds have gone by.

[xr2alex99]

Holy crap i typed in what you said and i put it in the seconds and the minute thing and well
the minutes are seconds and the seconds are miliseconds. you are awesome
i can just do this to make the minutes.

[xr2alex99]

well no its not working now my minute and second actors are the same and contribute to the real minutes actor. ?

[xr2alex99]

after awhile of quick poking and proding i may have figured it out.
i have three actors. Minutes:seconds:miliseconds (99) i removed the top textumber++ and it worked also only the seconds have the actual draw actor scripts. basically when ms reaches 99 it =0 and adds +1 to seconds then the same for seconds but they reach 60 it=0 and adds +1 to minutes your script has been helpful

well now that 1 issue is solved i can move onto the next.my issue now is infinite jumping.
its probally really simple. i just want to make the guy jump once or twice double jumping.
i think it works like a variable and then he cant jump again unless he is touching the ground or an object.
