Following parents, again!

Uh oh, I've tried to fix my glitch on following a parent after being destroyed. I've decided to destroy my parent actor once the child actor was destroyed, instead of moving the parent actor to the correct spot once the child was destroyed, but sometimes the parent would move too slowly, and move the child off of it's correct spot. So, could anyone help me with this problem (again?)

move too slowly


How do you move the parent?

On key down (P1-a)(P2-k)(P3-[left])(P4-4)-Script

Code: Select all
x = x - 6;


On key down (P1-d)(P2-;)P3-[right](P4-6)-Script
Code: Select all
x = x + 6;

Okay, that's it...

Alright, in my game, IonSkiff Tournament, I have 4 ships & a docking station for each ship that looks like they move with their ship, but in my programming, I want the docking stations to move, and the ships would be the child actors to them. So when I'm talking about P1, I am talking about docking station for Player 1.

Your x, y position will be relative to the parent.

Okay, I put in some coding:

Code: Select all
On KeyDown (P1refueling)
x = x + 6;
Player1.x = Player1.x + 6;

Player1 no longer child of P1refueling


It follows now, but when the game starts up, it now wants to follow, but twice as fast, susceptible to being destroyed from hitting the ground.
