There's a couple of Plugins for using Functions in the Plugin Section

Yeh they look really good from the tutorial, this will be a great feature.

Thanks getting them now...

Thanks again for this brilliant pack...

I usually create a healthbar sprite...

Then add a varaible.

Healthbar = 100

Then in events something like this.

This set the healthbar sprite with to the Healthbar Variable which is 100, Using EveryTick to check this all the time.

EveryTick

Healthbar Sprite width = Healthbar

Then the next bit deducts 1 from the heathbar variable when ever you collide with an enemy, Which in turn makes the Healthbar Graphic/Sprite Smaller.

PlayerSprite OnCollision with EnemySprite

Healthbar = Healthbar -1

Problem is, you need a new sprite for every angle :(

Not if your on a Static Screen.. lol..

I would have done something like this.

VariableStart = 0

VariableA = 0

If SpriteA collides with SpriteB

Then VariableStart = 1

If VariableStart = 1

Every 1.0 seconds VariableA = VariableA +1

Then you could add conditions...

If VariableA => 100

then VariableA = 100

then VariableStart = 0

If VariableStart = 0

then VariableA = 0

Or something like that, but hey i sometimes go the long way around... Not been on C2 for a month or so, so there's probably new and better ways to do this.

You can just change it around to use SpriteWidth = 100 and SpriteHeight = 100 or whatever your size is, then deduct from them.

VARIABLES

SpriteWidth = 100

SpriteHeight = 100

SpriteShrink = 0

EVENTS

Setting the SpriteA Size to the variables

SpriteA width = SpriteWidth

SpriteA height = SpriteHeight

Turning the Variable SpriteShrink to 1 or ON

On Collision SpriteA with SpriteB

SpriteShrink = 1

Every 1 Second Deducting from the Width & Height Variables

If SpriteShrink =1

Every 1.0 Seconds

SpriteWidth = SpriteWidth -1

   SpriteHeight = SpriteHeight - 1

Destroying the SpriteA when size is 0 and resseting the SpriteShrink Variable

If SpriteWidth =< 0

    SpriteHeight =< 0

     Destroy SpriteA

      SpriteShrink = 0

It can be used to Rotate, Scale or any other thing you want to do. Hope you understand it... i come from a C++ background years ago so i approach things like this.

You can change the Every 1.0 Seconds to Every 0.01 this will make it go alot faster and last for about 1 Second, But you will need to know your Sprites Width and Height and work it out from there.

Thanks for all the hard work..

Thanks for the fix

Great Game and Concept, i got to level 3 so far...

I got a Bamboo Touchpad so i can draww graphics and stuff, so far i find it great and easy to use, Also for navigating with instead of a mouse....

As a bonus i also got the Starwars BluRay 9 disc set... can't wait to watch them...

yeh i use -10 or whatever number you want depending on the force.

I used - in a game i made to create a wind effect and a magnetic effect.
