Pac-man like Lives System

Ok, for the random choice picking part, I just directly copied that code. Now my ghost moves to the node, with the sw_intersection animation, but when the ghost gets there, he still goes in any direction. What am I doing wrong?

Two possible things. One, you need to make sure the direction that the ghost is moving is set with dir. I forgot to add that, but essentially something like this.
ghost -> Create Actor -> Script Editor

Code: Select all

dir=0;
directional_velocity=2;
angle=0;

That way the intersection code will know what direction the ghost was actually moving in. Another possible problem is that the speed of the actor does not align the nodes but the symptoms would be slightly different. One other adjustment you need to do is make dir an actor variable, instead of a global variable. That way you can have clones, instead of just a single ghost.

Yup. That did it. I changed the velocity to 2, and it worked just fine
Thanks for all your help!
