Reputation: +0/-0 Offline Posts: 51	Hi Ok heres the deal. I have sprites of link in my game of just him, no shield. When link gets the shield, i want the shield to appear on his back. I don't want to make all new sprites for link with a shield on so is there a way i can i have two sprites for one object. I tried making two objects but messes up. If anyone has any idea please comment thanks ~CJ~ « Last Edit: February 14, 2007, 07:38:55 pm by Fox » Logged

	Just have your control object draw the shield on him. Read the manual if you don't know how to do that. Logged

Just have a separate shield 'controller', or use Link and put code similar to the following in the Draw event:

Code: [Select]

{
    if (global.facingvariable="u") { draw_sprite(spr_shield_up,-1,x+4,y+4); }
    if (global.facingvariable="l") { draw_sprite(spr_shield_left,-1,x-2,y+2); }
    if (global.facingvariable="d") { draw_sprite(spr_shield_down,-1,x+4,y+16); }
    if (global.facingvariable="r") { draw_sprite(spr_shield_right,-1,x+2,y+2); }
}

OF course, this is just an example. You'd have to mess around with the x and y offsets.

I just added it to a test of my Zelda game. Probably will be added to my official game later. What he says makes sense. Make an object that appears with a shield when a button is pressed. If he's facing up, down, left, or right, the shield will appear there.
Do you use variables in your GM games or are you new? No offense made there, but I remember a time when I didn't know a thing.
If you're new, you can't really run variables if they're not stated in the game itself. You must program them in for it to work.
