Hello there!
I am still working on my top-down shoter and i have a little but very important issue.
I have enemies on batlefield and turets. Each one turret has "detector"(solid circle active object)that allows them(turrets)detect enemies. More than that i would like every detector to "calcualte" how many tagerts are detected by it.
I tried do that using flags but it does not works.
Help me please!
Always
-->Set TargetCount of TurretArea to 0
Always
-->Spread value 0 in ID of Target
Always
-->Start fastloop "targets" NObjects("Target") times
On loop "targets"
+ID of Target = loopindex("targets")
+TurretArea is overlapping Target
-->Add 1 to TargetCount of TurretArea
Does that make sense? Let me know if you still need help.
Ok! But why it is neccessary to use fast-loop?! And why the
following code does not work(using your value names to be clear):
Always
-->Set TargetCount of TurretArea to 0
Target is overlapping TurretArea
-->Add 1 to TargetCount of TurretArea
?

In an MMF program cycle, each event will execute only once (excluding fastloops). So, when the program hits your event, it'll see if any target is overlapping a TurretArea, and if it is, it'll add 1 to TargetCount of TurretArea... once. (regardless of how many targets are actually overlapping).
The point of the fastloop is to add 1 to TargetCount for every target that is overlapping the TurretArea... does that make sense?
Yes! Thanks!
But where can i find description of MMF2 code logics?(books, articles...)
