Ok,

I have a npc that you become and can shoot with by using keydown, but when its out ammo the thing want stop shooting and i do have the if (playerbombs<0) and playerbomb-=1 in there but how would i disable the D jkey if the player bombs = 0??

-Knight_Vincent

just use disabledefweapons and then use your keydown

Like This?

if (playerbombs==0) {
if (keydown(4))disableweapons; :confused:

-Knight_Vincent

no you would disable the keys when the player entered the level/fired the NPC (depending on which way youve made the game) then do the keydown stuff

Um,

But how do i disable a key is what i mean.

-Knight_Vincent

well supposing you want it to do it when you fire the NPC do it like this

NPC Code:

---

if (weaponfired) {

disabledefmovement;

}

if (keydown(4)) {

whatever it does;

}

---

just put in the keydown 4 bit a thing to check the player still has ammo or whatever it uses

Ok,

I want it so if i run outa ammo keydown 4 is dissabled for 15 secounds while it recharges...

-Knight_Vincent

NPC Code:

---

if(playerbombs>0&&keydown(4)){

commands go here;

}

if(playerbombs==0){

timeout=15;

if(timeout){

playerbombs=99; //or whatever number

}

if(keydown(4)&&playerbombs==0){

play nextpage.wav;

}

---

or something to that effect. You can replace the "play nexpage.wav" to anything you want to take up time while it recharges.

Hmmm,

Well that works to regain the ammo and lose the ammo but it still does not disable keydown 4 for 15 secs

-Knight_Vincent

how about ...

NPC Code:

---

if(keydown(4)&&playerbombs==0){

setani idle,; // or whatever gani/ sprite your using.

}

---

You can't really disable it, only make it so it doesn't do anything when pressed.

Ok,

But im not useing a gani... I haved tryed,

if (keydown(4)&&playerbombs==0)
setplayerprop #c, ...Recharging...;
timeout=15;

if (timeout)
playerbombs=99;
setplayerprop #c, ...Recharged...;

if (keydown(4)&&playerbombs<0)
function shoot() {
play effect1.wav;
shots[bllt]=ship[0]+addx;
shots[bllt+1]=ship[1]+addy;
shots[bllt+2]=addx;
shots[bllt+3]=addy;
if (bllt<maxshots*4) {bllt+=4}else{ bllt=0;
}
}

but all it does is make a lagy coppie of the ship and still lets you shoot wile it reloads :(. Im stumped :(.

-Knight_Vincent

Ok, try this:

NPC Code:

---

if(playerbombs==0){

timeout=15;

}

if (keydown(4)&&playerbombs==0){

setplayerprop #c, ...Recharging...;

}

if (timeout){

playerbombs=99;

setplayerprop #c, ...Recharged...;

}

if (keydown(4)&&playerbombs>0){

function shoot() {

  play effect1.wav;

  shots[bllt]=ship[0]+addx;

  shots[bllt+1]=ship[1]+addy;

  shots[bllt+2]=addx;

  shots[bllt+3]=addy;

  if (bllt<maxshots*4) {bllt+=4}else{ bllt=0;

  }

}

---

There, that should work

Hmm,

Well at least its not cloning the ship now but... the bombs go from 99 to 98 back to 99... they wont drop any further. :(
