hello every one i have a problem. im trying to make my actor stop when close to a clone but i dont want to make a code for each clone i have. is there a way i can make it so that it stops when my actor gets close to any clone right now my code is

Code: Select all

if(distance(x, y, wall.x, wall.y) >= -1){
    if(dir == 1){
 
        ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "PlayerIdleRight", NO_CHANGE);
 
         dir=3;}
 
 
 
 
 
    if(dir == 2){
        ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "PlayerIdleLeft", NO_CHANGE);
 
         dir=3;}

problem is it only stops at the original clone

so what is the clone?

the wall is the clone but i have 2 i want it to be able to stop at the 2nd clone not just the first one but i dont want to have to make a new code for each clone.

Well the code given is not the code for stop right?

it is, let me explian my code. when my actor's x position is reletive to -1 of wall's x position dir =3 if dir = 3 x+=0 x-=0

hm.. it should work for both walls cuz you didn't use cloneindex
could I see the ged?

ok i removed my old code and changed it a little im still haveing a problem i will show you mmy whole code for that actor
this is in my enemys draw actor

Code: Select all

if(Army1.x  > x + 320){
Enemycover=0;
EnemyShoot=0;}
if(Army1.x  < x - 320){
Enemycover=0;
EnemyShoot=0;}
if (EnemyShoot==1){
CreateTimer("Event Actor", "enemybullettime", 900);}

if(EnemyShoot==0){
DestroyActor("EnemyBullet");}


if(EnemyHealth<=0)
DestroyActor("Event Actor");




 


if(Enemycover == 1){
if(wall.x  > x + 1){
x+=2.6;}
if(wall.x  < x - 1){
x-=2.6;}
                   }


 
EnemyShoot=1;
Enemycover=1;

if(wall.x  > x + 320){
Enemycover=0;}
if(wall.x  < x - 320){
Enemycover=0;}

this is for my squad commander game and i dont ant to post the .ged until im ready to release v0.2 i am not using clone index

The problem is that you are using name.variable. You can't specify the clone you are accessing, in these cases wall and Army1. You'll have to get the Actor*s for the clones, and use that to check the variables. To do this though, you'll have to setup a loop checking all wall's xy coordinates. If this event is in a collision event, then you won't have this problem because you can use collide.variable instead of name.variable, which is a precise representation of the current wall.

ok, how do i do that?

Here's one of several posts explaining getCloneIdx, a derivative of the getclone2 function. Use it to get the Actor* of the wall, to check the x coordinate.

Code: Select all

int i;
Actor* currentWall;
for(i=0;i<ActorCount("wall");i++)
{
    currentWall=getCloneIdx("wall",i);
    if(wall->x > x+1)
    {
        //
    }
    else if(wall->x < x-1)
    {
        //
    }
}

This is a short example of how you might implement it. Typing this out makes me think it isn't optimal, but without more information on what you are doing, I can't really make it that much better.

thanks for all the help but i dont have a function called getcloneidx and i have the newest version of GE

Here's my version of code...

Code: Select all

int i;
Actor *check;
char str[32];

for(i=0;i<ActorCount("wall");i++)
{
    sprintf(str,"wall.%i",i);
    check=getclone(str);
    if(distance(x,y,check->x,check->y)<10)
    {
        //stop action here
    }
}
