Other thing is that this kind of things don't belong to advanced topics, but into game development or support.

You know "the clone that is checking it" is every single clone of that same actor in your game, if you haven't done it so just one of them does that checking.
Could you explain more about your problem, please? Then I could help you.

well say i had an actor named player.10
then i would need to wright an if statement to see if var1 = 1 on player.18
my only problem is that it needs to work with any actor

did that help

I don't understand what you mean with 18 & 10

Add this code on Player.10 to check the state.

Code: Select all

Actor *check;
char str[32];

sprintf(str,"Player.%i",18);
check=getclone(str);

if(check->var1==1 && cloneindex==10) //if current player cloneindex is 10 and check (player.18) var1 is 1
{
    //do something here
}

would that code work on all of them because it keeps making them

Since they're clones, that's right...the code will be applied to all of them.
Buttt, since you have the IF statement, that code only work for player.10

here: (Taken from Bee-ant!)

Code: Select all

Actor *check;
char str[32];
sprintf(str,"Player.%i",cloneindex+8);
check=getclone(str);

if(check->var1==1)
{
    //do something here
}

he wanted the code to work for every clone, so that a clone would fetch a variable from 8 clones behind

thanks everyone sorry im kinda late busy with school

I think you are inviting a nasty bug in. What happens if there is no player.18? Crash.

You're talking to who?
Me or Gogo?

Whichever the case, getclone() won't give a crash although the requested clone number doesn't exist.

Ah, I guess I am getting too used to python. It would return the object, and you can test those against a boolean. I expected that C would return null instead of none.

A lame excuse
