It says

Error Line 9 Expected: (

I got this by hitting Shift , the number 9. Maybe it is not the right one?

Then, Warning line 9: Trying to convert from 'const int' to ' * struct '

Error line 9: Expected )

lol, its not:
(

Its:
{

Same goes with the other one xD Its not
)
its
}

hehe

I fixed the bracket thing.

Now it says I have an error line 5 (where I have Create Actor)that it expects a semicolon

shottimer++;
if( shottimer=10)
{CreateActor} "words", "shipShot", "(none)", "(none)", 0, 0, false};
shottimer=0;
}

I don't understand because there is a semicolon

all those red things are brackets where parentheses should go, brackets are used for (don't quote me on this) if/else/switch
cases
if(something)
{
brackets, see?
}
else
{

}
switch(a variable)
{
case 0:more brackets showing the start and finish of the script
break;
}
stuff like that, oh and when you make your own functions
void (sucha fucntion)
{
Brackets!
}
i hope that helps a lot, to be safe i would say parentheses are used A LOT more often

Your code:

Code: Select all

if( shottimer=10)
{CreateActor} "words", "shipShot", "(none)", "(none)", 0, 0, false};
shottimer=0;
}


Change to:

Code: Select all

if(shottimer=10)
{
CreateActor("words", "shipShot", "(none)", "(none)", 0, 0, false);
shottimer=0;
}


Probably caused by:

1

if( shottimer=10)
The spacing between the ( and shottimer.

2

CreateActor} "words", "shipShot", "(none)", "(none)", 0, 0, false};
You used brackets for the create actor as well. Functions use "( and )", while if statements use brackets.

Using the ike you wrote it did the trick. Thanks!

It took me a few hours but I figured out that I had assigned the script to the shots instead of the shooter.

It won't make any changes...
The problem is you should use == inside IF instead of =
So, I think the correct code is :

Code: Select all

if(shottimer==10)
{
    CreateActor("words", "shipShot", "(none)", "(none)", 0, 0, false);
    shottimer=0;
}


lol I didnt even notice the 1 = sign xD

How do you control the number of bullets that are fired? They are coming out in a steady stream and making one long dotted line.

Here is the file for my game. I want the planet to shoot words at the ship so the ship can destroy them.
