hey guys,

I need help on how to get the variables of the clones. example would be getting the x position of clone.0.
do any of you guys know how to get it? ive been triyng lots of things like clonename.0.x but it doesnt work..

thanks alot guys...

If you want to be able to get the variables of any clone, you'll have to use getclone and Actor*s.

Code: Select all

int clone0_x = getclone("actor.0")->x; // this gets the actor.0's x variable
int clone5_x = getclone("actor.5")->x; // this gets the actor.5's x variable

Actor* clone3_actor = getclone("actor.3"); // this stores a pointer to the actor.3 clone which you can use later
int clone3_x = clone3_actor->x; // notice it uses the same -> that the first two uses

// you can also change the actor's variable using this
clone3_actor->y = 0; // sets actor.3's y to 0

Now, having to specify the clonename isn't very convenient. So you can put this function into global code, to make using getclone more convenient.

Code: Select all

Actor*
getclone2 (char* cname, int cindex)
{
    char buffer[30];
    sprintf(buffer, "%s.%d", cname, cindex);
    return getclone(buffer);
}

That way you can use it like this.

Code: Select all

int clone3_x = getclone2("actor", 3);

wow thanks for this sky... you're always there to answer the questions... thank you!...
