How do I make an enemiy ignore the player?

[Kirby]

What's the script for calling an explosion to a certain object?

How do I make an enemy ignore the player?

And where's the script for the text at the beginning of levels?

[marsgreekgod]

Maybe put something like?
"
instance_create (x,y,oArrow)
other.x(or y)Vel = rand(1,10)
"

You think that would work, but no, has to do oArrowtest which is the "seeing" of the arrow trap AND the thing that fires, making oArrowtest2 didn't work so far..

When colliding with oEnemy; you lose a life.
Put a collision event with whatever enemy/ies you want to ignore you.
And so basically:

Code:

{
//nothing goes here.
}

How would I add more areas?

[marsgreekgod]

I got the arrows fixed, so the question is... mute. (is that how you would say that?)

Anyway, I wouldn't know how to add new areas.

Thanks Sudo! One step closer to finishing Spidey and Vamp!

The code for the random poem at the beginning?

Inside 'oIntro' object, inside the 'Create' event, inside the 'Execute a peice of code'

(I hate 'execute a..' as it's not able to be searched and should have been put into a script)

str = "";
n = rand(1,10); // Change this to the amount of different poem lines
switch (n)
{
    case 1: { str1 = "AS THE MOON SEAN BRIGHT ABOVE,"; break; }
    case 2: { str1 = "WITH THE DESERT STRETCHING BEHIND ME,"; break; }
    case 3: { str1 = "AFTER I DOUBLE-CHECKED MY MAP,"; break; }
    case 4: { str1 = "MY LIPS CRACKED AND COVERED IN SAND,"; break; }
    case 5: { str1 = "WITH FATE GUIDING MY EVERY MOVE,"; break; }
    case 6: { str1 = "PUTTING THE FADED PHOTO IN MY POCKET,"; break; }
    case 7: { str1 = "AS I RECALLED MY FATHER'S LAST WORDS,"; break; }
    case 8: { str1 = "MY MEMORY SLIPPING AWAY FROM ME,"; break; }
    case 9: { str1 = "AS I FINISH THE LAST KNIT IN MY SCARF,"; break; }
    case 10: { str1 = "I STARED AT THE STARS,"; break; } //Added with 'case 10:'
}

Kirby:  What do you mean by New Areas??  Like larger levels? or Different/new 'rooms' for exsisting levels?

Or adding all new levels?  Like adding a new black market/boss level or even entirely new 'world/level TYPE'?

I can help with these.

That's what I mean.

This might require alot of tinkering as the code is spread out across many scripts and objects..  I will write a tutorial on it now but it will require some trial and error to get it all right without any bugs.  I would love to add a new first level that is above ground!  I'll start writting a tutorial after I do afew things around the house and I'll post the tutorial as a new thread in the source section.

[Sudonimus]

That would be great...

I meant like I hear snakes!  I hate snakes!  And stuff like that

Look at the alarm events.
