Tutochao's Tutorials! Episodes: 12

[peedalein]

Hi!

I really like your Game Editor video tutorials. They really help to get an understanding of how GE works and I think
it is amazing that you share this knowledge. The internet can be so great!

However, there is one thing that bugs me a little. I have very limited knowledge of object oriented languages like
Java and C++. When you program in the script editor it is almost impossible to see what you are excactly writing due to
the video compression. I can lookup things in the script reference but that does not always help and takes a lot of time.
Is it possible that you provide the code of every tutorial or alternatively "zoom" into the screen while writing the code?

Now I am watching Tutorial 5. After 2 minutes You write the code which is something like this for the ai actor:


if (x < Player x)
{x +=2};

if (x > Player x)
{x -=2};

The script does not accept the "Player x" (and not Player.x). How can you access the coordinates of another actor?

Thanks for your help,
Peter

+1 I too had this happen to me a bit too when watching a few of your tutorials. not a super big deal, but would be cool to see all the syntax at times.

P.S. cant wait for the next tutorials! maybe a rotation of sprites/canvas tutorial someday

Sorry about that, guys :3 the quality will be enhanced in farther episodes Once again, I apologize :3

And yeah, it's player.x lol replace "Player" with the actor your main character

are ( or { or [ etc. could you post what you typed?

Episode 7 is Great help! thanks a lot, but i have one problem. when i tried to use it a second time for a second health bar (i changed the variables as well) it treated them as if they were the same health bar. How could i change that?

[Hblade]

Make them actor variables

[Unit649]

When i changed it to the variables to actor variables, it made the health bars unusable. Both health bars were treated as if there was no health left.

Hblade can you tell me the code you put down after you add the i variable and i2 variable?
