Change parent to the actor created

[jimmynewguy]

I want to have enemies create their "collision mask" but when there are clones they all seem to try and parent to the same thing. I have this code and have tried a couple other that all seem to not work. Can anyone help?

Code: Select all

Actor * named = CreateActor("enemy_collide", "collide", "(none)", "(none)", 0, 16, false);
ChangeParent("Event Actor", named->name);

You want clonename, not name. And you don't need to store the Actor* for this.

Code: Select all

CreateActor("enemy_collide", "collide", "(none)", "(none)", 0, 16, false);
ChangeParent("Event Actor", enemy_collide.clonename);

This will work, because enemy_collide was created in the same event. Normally actor_name.var gets the lowest cloneindexed actor_name, but if one was created, it becomes the default actor_name actor (for the event).

Well then, guess I over thought that. Thanks sky!
