Next item on the check list.....

Ok ive got my inventory down, now i need work on the Battle system.
I tried writing code for it, but it got to contradictory, and didnt work too well.

I need some code so that the selected character will go to the enemy, attack it. then return to its original starting position.

please and thanks.

Give all characters a bouncing ball movement with a speed of 0. The "Starting Point" is an invisible active (offscreen or inexistant at start). Now add events:


[On Attack Start]:

-Create Object "Starting Point" at (0,0) from "Character"
-Character: Set Speed to [Character Speed]
-Character: Set Alterable Value [Unused Alt. Val.] to 1


Character: Alterable Value [Same Alt. Val.] = 1:
-Character: Look in the Direction of (0,0) from "Enemy"


"Character" collides with "Enemy" --
Character: Alterable Value [Same Alt. Val.] = 1:
[Attack]


[Finished Attacking]:
-Character: Set Alterable Value [Same Alt. Val.] to 2


Character: Alterable Value [Same Alt. Val.] = 2:
-Character: Look in the Direction of (0,0) from "Starting Point"


"Character" is overlapping "Starting Point" --
Character: Alterable Value [Same Alt. Val.] = 2:

-Character: Set Alterable Value [Same Alt. Val.] to 0
-Character: Set Speed to 0
-Starting Point: Destroy



Does that work?

hold up,, im going to try it right now.....

I tried it and the essance of it workes, but getting the attacking character to postition itself, right in front of the enemy is just not happening.
Any help reguarding getting the players position to be lined up with that of the enemy would be great.

In Event 2, can you change the relative position to make it work?
