Player Shooting on a Platform Game

[Bee-Ant]

make another variable called "power"

Player -> Collision -> FireFlower :

Code: Select all

power=1;

Player -> Keydown -> Shoot :

Code: Select all

if(power==1)
{
    CreateActor("Shot","ShotAnimation","(none)","(none)",0,0,false);
}

Bloody hell Turon. You're not entirely sure how to make a player shoot a bullet and you've got more points than me.

Just goes to show how fair forums are doesnt it....

ONLY JOKING!!!!
To be fair you have posted more than I have....

BloodDragy i did it! now all i need is Super Ostrich when he collides with the fire flower he will have an extra life can someone help?

Assuming you have a life variable already in your game, increase it by one upon collision.

Code: Select all

life++;

If you don't have one, create another variable, named life. You would use the following code to determine if the player should be destroyed when colliding with an enemy.
Player -> Collision with enemy -> Script Editor

Code: Select all

life--;
if(life<=0)
{
    DestroyActor("Event Actor");
}

We just taught you on how to maintain variable to make powerups...
Yes still you can't maintain it to make lives???
Aren't them just the same???

[Turon]

How do you loose one life and not 2 lives?

Oh...it seems you set the Collision with Enemy to be repeated yes?
Restrict it then...make another variable called "colliding" and then edit the code to be :

Player-Collision-Enemy:

Code: Select all

if(colliding==0)
{
    life--;
    if(life<=0)DestroyActor("Event Actor");
    colliding=1;
}

Player-CollisionFinish-Enemy:

Code: Select all

colliding=0;

colliding=0;

way easier just to set repeat to no.

:lol: way easier just to set repeat to no.

For some case, non-repeated collision doesn't work well...sometimes it won't detect the new collision made.
So it's better to use repeated collision with some restriction
