I'm having a problem with the cards system in my game, the problem is just the sprites. (GM) So, this is what I needed: - A Sprite with 10 images (blank cards) that are the same thing, it is the one shown in the game - Another sprite with 10 different images for the collected cards What I wanted to do is replace one image in the first sprite with the same image number in the second one. For example, I have mario as the image 4, when I collect a card, Mario was chosen to be that card, he will replace image 4 in the first sprite as well (the blank card sprite) Oh, and when you collect a card, the image selected is random, so that means you might get duplicates of the same card, I also have no idea on how would I make a system to count duplicate cards. actually, for more information, you should play LEGO Island 2 for the GBC, which is where I'm basing the card system, it does exactly what I want to do, so you should play it to see how I want to make it work. Hope I'm helped :P

I hope this will fix it. So, for example it chooses image_index = 3. Then, when the instance changes to the new object with the image. Something like this would work: [syntax=gml]//Any event which changes instance to the new card object if image_index = 0 {global.cardindex = 0} //Or any other variable, as long as it's global if image_index = 1 {global.cardindex = 1} //etc instance_change(obj_newcard,1); //Be sure this is placed AFTER the global.cardindex thing //In the new card object's creation code if global.cardindex = 0 {image_index = 0} if global.cardindex = 1 {image_index = 1} //etc[/syntax] Hope this helped.

Hey, I've been having problems coding something in MMF2 (hopefully some people still know how to use it). I want to create a text that scrolls in (like in PM and SMRPG). I found a fairly complex how-to on the main site, but I had no clue how to use it properly and I also got a glitch where the area of the speech bubble that the text overlaps just vanished as the text scrolled in. I found a very simple way to do this which required only a few lines of code, but I ran into the same glitch. My question: Is there a (preferable simple) way to create scrolling text without having this annoying glitch, or do I actually have to animate a text (which would be a pain)? Thanks very much in advance. And sorry if I sound stupid, I'm not a programming pro (at all).

[quote="lu9"]problem[/quote] Your description was pretty difficult to follow but I'll reread it and post a solution when I get on a computer. Try describing your problem once more, please.

[quote="UEU Fangaming"]Ok. Use creation codes like this: [code]varpath = path0[/code] And add this to create event: [code]alarm[0] = 1[/code] And add this to alarm 0: [code]path_start(varpath,2,blah,blah)[/code] This makes using paths easier. [size=50]Also why I didn't using this?[/size][/quote] Well I really dont like paths, I wanted line objects you can place in the level and have objects ride on them and fall whenever the line ends.

[quote="mario4513"]Well I really dont like paths, I wanted line objects you can place in the level and have objects ride on them and fall whenever the line ends.[/quote]Try using arrows. If the platform touches an arrow, it can change its direction.

The 'arrow' object is a good idea mainly so you won't have multiple objects in the room. But if you do use the arrow idea then you want to make sure the platform changes it's direction relevant to a constant point of 'arrow' object.

Haha, take that! By using 3 variables, I could make the card system 100% accurate to the one seem in LI2. This code goes to the persistent object's creation code: [syntax=gml]//LI2 Cards System code - BY LU9 //global.card_numb = Number of the card being displayed on the screen //global.card_duplicate = Number of duplicates of a card //global.card_collected = If the player has collected that particular card already //Set default card to view at the first time you go on the screen global.card_numb = 1 //Resets all duplicates global.card_duplicate[1] = 0 global.card_duplicate[2] = 0 global.card_duplicate[3] = 0 global.card_duplicate[4] = 0 global.card_duplicate[5] = 0 global.card_duplicate[6] = 0 global.card_duplicate[7] = 0 global.card_duplicate[8] = 0 global.card_duplicate[9] = 0 global.card_duplicate[10] = 0 //Set this so all cards are empty until you collect them. global.card_collected[1] = false global.card_collected[2] = false global.card_collected[3] = false global.card_collected[4] = false global.card_collected[5] = false global.card_collected[6] = false global.card_collected[7] = false global.card_collected[8] = false global.card_duplicate[9] = false global.card_duplicate[10] = false[/syntax] Code for when the player gets the card: [syntax=gml] //Chooses a random card (this code is for normal cards, cards 1, 4, 6, and 8 are star cards) global.card_numb = choose(2,3,5,7,9,10) //Adds another to the number of duplicates of this card. global.card_duplicate[global.card_numb] +=1 //If you already collected the card, it will show a different icon... if global.card_collected[global.card_numb] = true { ID = instance_create(0,0,obj_cardget) with (ID) image_index = 1 } else { ID = instance_create(0,0,obj_cardget) with (ID) image_index = 0 } //Now you collected this card (if you haven't before) if global.card_collected[global.card_numb] = false { global.card_collected[global.card_numb] = true } //Adds this object to the map of objects so it doesn't appear again once collected. ds_map_add(global.cards,id,1) //After all that, destroy. instance_destroy()[/syntax] And finally, the code for the card viewer, it is in the step command: [syntax=gml]//The player can view cards only from 1 to 10. if global.card_numb = 0 global.card_numb = 10 else if global.card_numb = 11 global.card_numb = 1 //Displays the cards correctly if global.card_numb = 1 { sprite_index = [removed because it's a surprise :3] if global.card_collected[1] = true image_index = 1 else image_index = 0 } else if global.card_numb = 2 { sprite_index = [removed because it's a surprise :3] if global.card_collected[2] = true image_index = 1 else image_index = 0 } else if global.card_numb = 3 { sprite_index = [removed because it's a surprise :3] if global.card_collected[3] = true image_index = 1 else image_index = 0 } else if global.card_numb = 4 { sprite_index = [removed because it's a surprise :3] if global.card_collected[4] = true image_index = 1 else image_index = 0 } else if global.card_numb = 5 { sprite_index = [removed because it's a surprise :3] if global.card_collected[5] = true image_index = 1 else image_index = 0 } else if global.card_numb = 6 { sprite_index = [removed because it's a surprise :3] if global.card_collected[6] = true image_index = 1 else image_index = 0 } else if global.card_numb = 7 { sprite_index = [removed because it's a surprise :3] if global.card_collected[7] = true image_index = 1 else image_index = 0 } else if global.card_numb = 8 { sprite_index = [removed because it's a surprise :3] if global.card_collected[8] = true image_index = 1 else image_index = 0 } else if global.card_numb = 9 { sprite_index = [removed because it's a surprise :3] if global.card_collected[9] = true image_index = 1 else image_index = 0 } else if global.card_numb = 10 { sprite_index = [removed because it's a surprise :3] if global.card_collected[10] = true image_index = 1 else image_index = 0 }[/syntax] That's it, if anyone wants to have a similiar trading cards system in your game you can use this code, as long as you give me credit :3

So I guess my code didn't work?

Thats a very nice code but why you are using global.card_duplicate variable? Also, [spoiler][quote="lu9"]as long as you give me credit :3[/quote][quote="lu9"]:3[/quote]Oh no! You are transforming into Dragezeey![/spoiler]

[quote="UEU Fangaming"]Thats a very nice code but why you are using global.card_duplicate variable?[/quote] Because on Lego Island 2 for Gameboy Color you can collect duplicates of cards, and my card system is based on that, every time you collect a card, it is added to the number of duplicates of that card. [quote="UEU Fangaming"][quote="lu9"]:3[/quote]Oh no! You are transforming into Dragezeey![/quote] lolz, what's wrong into using this awesome smiley? OωO lol

[quote="lu9"]Because on Lego Island 2 for Gameboy Color you can collect duplicates of cards, and my card system is based on that, every time you collect a card, it is added to the number of duplicates of that card.[/quote]Ok ok. I understand. [quote="lu9"]lolz, what's wrong into using this awesome smiley? OωO lol[/quote]Because generally Drag uses this smiley. :3 :3 :3 :3

Does anybody off the top of their heads know how to check to see if a value is an integer?

if (floor(number) == number) integer = true;

I'm assuming you mean literally an integer and not a decimal number. Or are you saying if the value has a type value of integer and not string? @magnemania: That will return true regardless of if it's a integer or decimal.

Try this. [syntax=gml]if ( number mod 1 == 0 ) //If you divide the number by 1, and there is no remainder... { //The number is an integer. }[/syntax]

[quote="kremling"]@magnemania: That will return true regardless of if it's a integer or decimal.[/quote] Why? The floor of 1.1 is 1.1? Modulus with 1 is also going to work, but I don't see how floor() wouldn't.

Thank you, you guys, i got it working now.

EDIT: Typed faster than I was thinking, confused myself.

Does anyone know of a way to make a tileset change it's blend/colour without having to create duplicates of the tileset? What I want is the tileset to change colour based on a certain condition, but I dont want to make 50 duplicates of it.
