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??

just use disabledefweapons and then use your keydown

[Knight_Vincent]

Like This?

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

-Knight_Vincent

[AlexH]

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

[Knight_Vincent]

Um,

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

-Knight_Vincent

[AlexH]

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

[Knight_Vincent]

Ok,

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

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.

[Knight_Vincent]

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

[Sennema]

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.

[Knight_Vincent]

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 .

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

[Knight_Vincent]

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.
