Ask a Question / Scorekeeper

« on: June 05, 2011, 02:14:12 pm »

I'm making a scorekeeper because the one on StencylForge didn't work for me. Its code seems fine, but it won't work. It even draws the score! Do you need to tell it to redraw or does it do that itself? I have attached pictures of my code.

If you're not sure what to do about that, you should be able to fix that error by going into the "Die After Time" behavior and adding a "If <[self] is alive>" block after all of the "do after x seconds" blocks.

Thanks! I  already removed the kill commands from one behavior, though.

It looks like the Respawn behavior is trying to reference the player actor that you removed with the Die after time behavior...

You, sir, are a genius.

It worked, but this popped up immediately after:

Code: [Select]

I didn't see a puff of smoke at all.

First you have to die.

Then, a puff of smoke should appear.

I can't get the puff of smoke to vanish... :/

Can anybody help? The behavior is "Respawn".

If you only want the death to happen with certain Actors (e.g., members of an "Enemies" group), you'll want to do something like this.

Thanks! That worked perfectly.

And I now know how to use the behavior maker.

Man, this is hard to learn. xD

How do you make a player die when it touches the SIDE of an enemy, not the top?

Thanks for the answer! That topic helped a lot!

On the downside, I can't use stencyl on multiple monitors...
