By line, do you mean a new event? If so no, you add it as a new condition in the same event.
Thank you. I need to learn a bit of the lingo as well as the programming philosphy of mmf.
I have tried to implement the rest of the level builder, so that when it reads a 2 in the list, it builds a green brick, and so on, but it is not functioning as desired. I copied the original event and changed the number that is being read in the loop, and the object created and the positioning of the object. I thought my issue may have been with my newly added Only one action per loop, so I modified it a little bit that if the loop reads "x" then it should know that it can stop reading the loop by setting LevelCleared to "no".
The only thing that seems to be working on this is the placement of the blue bricks (1). Because i dragged and dropped the events, and then edited the string value of what it is reading, i thought this would work out flawlessly, but i was mistaken. I have Popcorn's example open so i can refer back to that, and can modify his levels w/out issue, but am stuck on where the logic went wrong on mine.
When you copied and pasted you messed up the action order. Now, for all other objects but the blue ones, you first position the object, then create it. That wouldn't work. The order is very important here. You must create the object first, and then set its position, all in the same event. Double click a cell in the event editor to open up the action editor, where you can see the order of the actions. Here you can move the actions around to get the order right
Good catch, Popcorn. I do see this in the event list as well as the action editor. I didn't have a lot of luck with drag n dropping to rearrange, but I deleted the positioning actions and dragged from blue in the event editor, validated the order looked right, and problem has been solved. I'm sure these are simple concepts to most, so I appreciate all of the help. I think I will stop posting on this thread as I've passed the original thread title, and now I have two valuable insights. I did the chocobreak tutorial early on and thought how easy that was, but this is going to be light years ahead of that
Hello - Looks good but how to stick the ball from the beginning to the peddle ? Seems like that this works only after the ball left the playground. hmmm
Thanks for a little hink.
