It doesn't seem to work for more than one object... the jet thingy changes objects when it turns, so I need a different view for each direction. How do I make the game switch which view it's using? I can't find any action or event for it.

Well, learn to make it all one object then for when it changes directions.

Not possible.
The only other way I could change the image to point in what direction it's going in is to change sprite, and if I change sprite, then the game won't be able to detect which way it's pointing, which means that it won't know which direction to fire the HIs.

Learn to use variables?

Or better yet, learn to have it check what sprite it is, and fire based on that.

Ok, then...

I've seen the actions for variables and how to change them and all, but I never saw any event for them, so how do you use them?

You can make it check sprite? Hmm, ok, I looked, but I didn't see a "check sprite" action anywhere... hmm... how would I do this?

Are these kinds of questions in the tutorials?

You will have to check for the variable "sprite_Index" which is what sprite the object is using, and the "spr_player" is the sprite to check for.

Also if you haven't been using prefixes, I suggest you use them.

Ok, I got it to work in all one object, the view works fine now.
Is there a way I can make it so that the view moves whenever the jet moves though, instead of only when it touches the edge of the view?
And the firing doesn't work. I did the variables like you said, but it always fires down...
What'd I do wrong?

Its not supposed to say "jet" its supposed to be say "sprite_index' for the variable.

For the view to center around it, you need to increase the "Hbor" and "Vbor" in the views tab.

Oh, ok, I thought I was supposed to replace "sprite_index" with the name of the object.

Well, I got the turning and firing to work now, and I've also added in a feature that makes the blue ball move whenever you shoot it =).

However, the pressing control (supposed to slow down jet) gives me an error message now, got any ideas on what I messed up?

Well show me the error message and I can.
