Simple solution needed. cap x attacted, advice on how to make it better please.

Hello, I feel like this is a pretty basic question. But yet I find it confusing.

Basically each level is locked. when the player finishes the level the lock removes.

I have used separate locks and pinned each lock to the level number.

Is it better to use the same lock, then just pick the lock with the UID?

I will still need about 30 separate events for the pick UID anyway wont I? Unless I use a function with a parameter? but I dont see how that would work.

Thanks

You need to get into the habit of using one object, not many lock objects. You would give the lock an instance variable for level which is a number that relates to that level. I'm interested to know what logic you used to determine which level was finished and which lock to remove.

Yeah, this is true Plinkie. I will change that tonight. Does adding more code use minimal memory.

I'm terms of the end of level I was going to use a boolean.

Something like,

At end of layout, and lock 1 has booleen, set to true.

Destroy lock.

If boolean is true, and level 2 in touched, then go to level 2.

Thanks plinkie

If each level is a different layout then you should be able to get away with - end of particular layout set global variable to x. Then back in the menu if lock.variable = to x, remove lock.

Cheers plinkie, I will be sure to do that. :-)
