Active object staying in next frame

[Harbec]

Hi, this might be very easy to do but I've spent lots of time and I can't find a way to make it happen.

I want some objects (active) to stay in the next frame (same position, etc). [color:#33CC00]I've set them as a global object[/color] but that doesn't seem to do the trick.

Meanwhile, the Direct Show extension, when set to global, keeps playing in the next frames.

Thank you very much for your help!

You need to place them in the frame, as they will not magically appear in the next frame.

Thank you for the quick reply.

but the objects in the frame doesn't keep the same position from the previous frame.

You will have to specify with X,Y where they should be.

Thanks,

Is there a way to specify X and Y position relatively to the same object in the previous frame?

Yes, just use Global Values, as these carry over to other frames.

Always
set alt value a = x pos of Active
set alt value b = y pos of Active

Start of Frame
set pos of Active = (alt val a), (alt val b)

eh, something like that. works if you set the object to global, like you have.

If the objects themselves are global, maybe it would be better to use alterable values of each object. Then for each object, you could set its position to its alterable values.

[Harbec]

THANK YOU it worked!

It wasn't too difficult, I made 2 Alterable Values for the Active Object. Then I configured the ALWAYS condition and the START OF FRAME.

Thanks again to NIVRAM, PHANTO and Jaffob!!

I will put a link up in this post when the game's done.
