[GM7] Smashing pots

Hi I want to add pots to my game, but I'm kind of puzzled for when I add them. I want them to be brakeable which I understand how to do it but, I want it to have a chance to spawn a heart and rupee so could anybody tell me how to do this, and maybe point me into the direction of a animated pot being broken.

Edit: I have pro gm7 if that changes anything I can do for this.

Hey man, this is HTW from the sounds page.. I use a different name here.

First of all decide what the odds for getting a prize should be. Let's say you want a heart 20% of the time, a rupee 20%, 5 rupees 10%, and nothing 50%.

When the pot is destroyed, get a random number between 0 and 100 (or more precisely, 0 and 99.999). If it's 0 to 19.999, spawn a heart, 20 to 39.999, spawn a rupee, and so on.

So put this in the pot's Destroy event:

Code: [Select]

var rnd;
rnd = random(100);

if rnd<20 { instance_create(x,y,objHeart) }
else if rnd<40 { instance_create(x,y,objRupee) }
else if rnd<50 { instance_create(x,y,objRupee5) }

And to show the smashing, make a new object with the smashing animation as its sprite, and instance_create() it just after that code above in the same event. Give this new smashing object an Animation End event, and in that, the object destroys itself.

I wrote a more complicated example, if you want the odds for prizes to change during gameplay. For instance if you get a Bow, you'll want the prizes to then include arrows. If that interests you, it's here:
