Going to next Scene

TouchTiltGames

I'm starting to setup the 40'ish scenes for my game which is almost done..except I've run into a barrier: I've got my game setup so that when the enemies are gone, it goes to the next scene. It works for going from Scene 1-2 but not onward hmph. Anyone ever have this prob?

Not had this problem.

What exactly is happening? Do you have a variable that counts how many enemies have been killed/are left that triggers the move to next scene?

If so, are you sure the actor with the appropriate rules is in every scene?

Well I have 3 enemies per scene and after they explode is when I want it to go to the next scene. I've declared a noEnemy = 3 interger and on the enemy actor a change attribute: game.noenemy to game.noenemy -1

So on the exploded bit (the head):

if
game.noenemy = 0
game.allmotionhasstopped = 1

then next scene...

Seems to work for going from 1-2 like i said but not from 2-3 lol.

That's interesting actually, because I have a problem where an attribute on an actor doesn't work properly after changing scene, for no discernible reason.

A bug maybe??

Edit - have you tried removing the rules from the head (noenemy=0) and putting it in a separate actor in the scene?

TouchTiltGames

Sometimes it's disheartening as I know I'm doing something right...then I'll restart GS and it'll work hehe.

Ok so there's 3 enemies. I've got a noenemy interger set to 3. I've got a Change attribute on the enemy itself: game.noenemy to game.noenemy -1

Next Level Rule on the enemy:
if Game.noenemy = 0
then: change scene

That's it...not sure what I'm missing, this stage in the 'game' so to speak is new to me.

Are you resetting game.noenemy to 3 when you move to the next scene?

TouchTiltGames

Hmmm no! I had this logic in my head (the resetting) as that made sense, but wasn't sure how to go about it. I tried 'reset scene' but that didn't work.

How would I reset the game.noenemy to 3? I guess having it in the attributes list isn't enough...

quantumsheep

All you do is put an invisible actor into each scene with the rule:

Change attribute game.noenemy to 3

That's it!

TouchTiltGames

Haha! I even had an invisible actor in there earlier today with a few of these attributes..i was so close...thanks a ton I'll try that lol.

Can't wait to show you guys my first title.

quantumsheep

Does it involve killing 3 enemies at all?

Haha on some levels yes! I want to mix'er up on each of course.

Ok....phew..that worked! Thanks a ton.

Youtube vids and/or screenshots to come in a week I found since starting GS 2 months ago that I have 5-6 projects on the go at the same time but I think I'm going to finish this one which involves rodents ruling the world over humans by means of bombs and physics
