Same Position as Previous Frame

**Jellyfish** · 15th June 2010, 07:10 PM

So I was working on my project earlier today and it suddenly occured to me that I needed to be able to do this in order to... you know. Work on my project.

So the character in my game walks off screen to get to the next "room". When he goes off the side, he needs to be in exactly the same position as he is in when he goes off the side, only on the other side since it's a new area. For example, if he's mid-jump when he goes off the screen, he needs to be mid-jump when he's in the next area. So I need him to be in the same position that he was in in the previous frame, the same co-ordinates except on the opposite side. How might one do this?

Store his position in a global value or global object's alterable values?

And how might one go about doing that?
I forgot to mention - I'm a newb. Entirely. I have no idea how to use global values. :3

EDIT: NEVERMIND
Figured it out. Thanks. :3

If you are a 'newb', then perhaps I can help you to avoid the same mistake that I made when I first started using Global Values...

All through my code, I referred to them as value 'A', 'B', etc. using mnemonics such as B for number of balls, E for number of enemies, etc.

I only later realised that global values could be given a name such as "Balls", "Enemies" and it made using MMF so much easier!

It's really obvious if you know it, but most things are easy when you know how!
