Vector Movement Question

[Jellyhead365]

Hi,

I am using the Vecotr Movement to create the shooting system in my game, however, as stated in a previous thread, I am having a problem, as when I shoot 2 versions of the bullet are created, instead of just the 1 which is required.

It is creating a version of the bullet with its default properties (e.g. speed 0, direction 0, etc)

and Also creating another version which is the correct one, which has speed and direction set in accordance with the code below:

(So I have 2 versions of the bullet onscreen)

Code:

*On User Left Click
+Gun AlterableValue A > 0

-Create Bullet at (0,0) from Gun (action point, orientated)
-Clickteam Movement Controller: Set Object to Bullet
-Clickteam Movement Controller: Set Direction Towards Crosshair
-Clickteam Movement Controller: Set Speed to 800
-Sub 1 from Gun AlterableValue A

I've looked through my events over and over but can't see what I've done wrong.
I assumed it could be something to do with the order of the events, but alering these didnt solve the problem.

I'd really appreciate some help on this.

Thanks in advance.

What is the Clickteam Movement Controller?

[Jellyhead365]

It's a Movement Controller that comes with TGF2, allowing you to control the variables at which your Active Objects Move.

E.g. If you are using vector movement you can use it to set speed, direction, gravity etc.

Each different movement type has different variables that can be altered.

Oh, okay. That might be why I didn't know what it was - because I don't have TGF2. Or, if it also comes with MMF2, then I guess the reason is because I'm currently using the trial version.

So, if I don't have the extension, I guess I can't help. Well, maybe someone else can offer assistance. Perhaps it would help if you upload your file?

I think you need to upload an example of the code for people to try so we can see what is happening.

[Jellyhead365]

Ok, I've stripped my entire game down to just the esential graphics and the shooting system, and I'm uploading it now.

EDIT: The download is Here

It is because you have two Pistol objects in the frame, MMF is creating one object at each Pistol (both of the pistols are at the same location) and only one bullet is then picked up by the movement controller.

Delete one pistol from the frame editor and you should get one bullet.

Ohhh Thanks Very Much! [blush]
