So, uh, now what?

[Jesusfreak]

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.

[Warriorccc0]

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

[Jesusfreak]

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.

[Warriorccc0]

Learn to use variables?

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

[Jesusfreak]

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?

[Warriorccc0]

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.

[Jesusfreak]

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?

[Warriorccc0]

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.

[Jesusfreak]

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?

[Warriorccc0]

Well show me the error message and I can.
