hi,

i have a player and a block. i want the player have a transparancy of 0.8 when you press space. i made it and it works just fine, but now i want to make the player die if he collides with the block when he isn't transparent, but when he is (0. nothing happens.

when i try do make it with this script:

Code: Select all

if(player.transp=0)
{
DestroyActor("player");

}


the player gets solid if he collides the block , but when he is solid nothing happens :S

what is wrong with it??

when using an if statement you need to use "==" instead of "=" change it to this and it should work:

Code: Select all

if(player.transp==0)
{
DestroyActor("player");

}


you just had your syntax wrong "=" is for setting a variable like saying transp=.5; "==" is for checking a variable like

Code: Select all

while(transp==.01)
{
    //do something here.
}

or

if(transp==.01)
{
    //do something here.
}


yeah right im so stupid haha thanks

no problem getting used to the syntax is key because most generally most your problems are forgetting something here and there syntax wise..
