Yes but where do I edit it?

[gummybears123]

NO NO NO!  I was just giving an EXAMPLE!  I'm doing the blood messages now, where it says I NEED BLOOD... NOW!  After 30 seconds after the last time you collide with blood.  And then you lose 1 HP after every 15 seconds after that message if you don't collide with blood.  If you do, then the counter thing restarts.  (Sorry if I seem angry)

[halibabica]

Okay, you need to set two new variables called 'bloodTimer' and 'bloodTimerMax' or something like that (name it so you know what it's for).  Set them equal to the same amount at first.  Fifteen seconds in GM would be 450.

In the player's step event, set it so that 'if (bloodTimer > 0) bloodTimer -= 1;

Then, add an else case that displays the message you want it to show.  Next, under the event that records the player's collision with blood, put bloodTimer = bloodTimerMax.  That will reset the bloodTimer back to full.

You'll need to take it a bit further than this to make him lose HP when without blood for too long.  But you can probably figure it out from here.

Where can I find what decides if oPiranha is replaced with oDeadFish?

And anything related to Level Feelings.

THANK YOU!!! You're too kind!

oPiranha probably?  Instance_destroy and instance_create? Like {if hp<1,...etc
And level feelings are in the oPlayer1 alarms... I think

Gleenrieck the level genrater puts down dead fish not puting down piranha in a dead level.

what do you want to do? I can help

[grieck]

I want so that restless dead will also replace Jaws with an equivalent boney fish thing, once I find that out i will duplicate jaws then replace the sprites.

Look at the level generate code for area 2, there should be a
If restlessdead
Make Dead fish
Else
make living fish.

Just copy and paste and put it where jaws is spawned (make sure to not get rid of the only one per level) and there you go.

[grieck]

Ummm...I can't find it is the problem.

[marsgreekgod]

Just put i

f(restlessdead)
Instance_change(oDeadJaws,true)

there you go

[grieck]

Put that where? in the Jaws Code? Becuase I can't find the thing for individual areas, or anything that has then together with more than just names (oPplayer has what the message is, nothing more)

[marsgreekgod]

in the create event.

that should do it.

[grieck]

Just put i

f(restlessdead)
Instance_change(oDeadJaws,true)

there you go

That just creates errors.

[marsgreekgod]

well thats becuse I missspelled if due to reformating
and did you make oDeadJaws?

ff(restlessdead)
Instance_change(oDeadJaws,true)

there you go

[grieck]

working on it
