in my stickman game thing im making it so when you kill an enimy, the enimy drops a random amount of money, like 3-7, and im using diffrent aniations and i need to know how to make a random animation when the actor is created and the game also needs reconize the aimation and add that much when the main player picks it up =)

Pretty Easy. 1st on the create actor event of the coins, in script editor,

Code: Select all

int n;
n = rand(//Here you put how many animations for the coins there are say there are 3 so this part would be 3\\)
if(n==0)//Change the animation event to one of your coin animations\\
if(n==1)//Change the animation event to one of your coin animations\\
if(n==2)//Change the animation event to one of your coin animations\\
ect.


Dont type anything in the // \\ Good Luck, I made a random tutorial if this isn't explaining much.

now that i know how to make a random animation how do i make it so hen he picks up the coins it adds that many coins?

Make a Var called coinamount10(you'll have to make multiple vars for each amount)

Then on a coin actor (they all can't be clones so you'll have to make several different actors for the different coin amounts only one actor per coin amount)Player collision with a coin actor, (you'll have to do repete these steps for each coin actor)

Code: Select all

coinamount10 = coinamount10 + 10;

Keep on doing the different amounts until finished.

Then add a textNumber to count the coins with (Go to text in the actor control panel of your goldcount and type a random amount of zeros or just one)and on the draw actor event script editor,

Code: Select all

textNumber = coinamount10 + coinamount20 //or whatever the rest of your amounts are\\//(NOTE: It's easier to do this in one script instead of several scripts)\\

Hope this helps!
