anybody want to quickly explain this

I merged level1 and titlescreen together as now I am going to do just a few more things to the game, and that is acceleration, music, sounds, explosions, graphics, and lastly, a way to know how damaged player and enemy are. All seemed smooth. Then I said to not have events run for player and enemy(only two actors besides there missiles) if they were out of vision, and I expected that to make me be able to be in titlescreen, and other levels and nothing would happen in level1. The problem is that when I am out of vision the enemies break through the walls that make them stay in the level1view. What is with that?

Well it's most likely that since they don't receive any events, they don't receive collision events either. And if you're using xvelocity it just continues with the speed.

You could do:
Enemy - draw actor - script editor

Code: Select all

xvelocity *= (xscreen > 0 && xscreen < view.width);

This code multiplies xvelocity with 1 if the enemy is on screen and with 0 if not.
This way it won't move if it's not on screen.

I hope this helps.

thanks. I was just confused because I know that enemies collisions would stop, but I thought movement would stop as well. +1

Well, the movement continues because actor variables are not changed and xvelocity will remain the same it is.

there is a few problems left. I'll let you be though since you helped me a lot already. Thanks for all you have done. When you get chance too, maybe you should listen to Snorky.

What problems?
I want to help!

if you want then I will rather show you because I suck at explaining and then you can tell me what's wrong.
