Sir... You are the man.

Worked great thanks.

Hey!

Trying to generate a random number here. I have it working fine except for one condition.

Random(100) gives a number between 0 and 100.

I want it to be a number between say... 50 and 100. How do I go about writing that. I can only get it to be between 0 and x.

Haven't been able to find my answer searching the forums. Anybody know it off hand?

Wow, this is good stuff to know.

SCALE BEHAVIOR

PERFECT! Exactly what I need.

I totally appreciate the help but I don't see a "scale" behavior.

I've thought to use the Sine Behavior, but it seems like overkill when all I need to do is "scroll" the scale from small to large.

I figured there would be a simple line to do that.

Also, I'm afraid I dont understand where I should be using the "lerp" expression. should I be applying that to the ZElevation Event or?

Again, seriously thanks everybody. Keep it coming.

Ok, I tried zoom, but it scales the WHOLE SCREEN, I just need 1 sprite to appear to rush as the player. So unless I'm wrong about how to use it, it wont work, but ZElevation...

AWESOME!

That appears that it would work.

Can you give me a pointer on how to go about adding 1 to the variable vrs setting it to a specific number. As of right now I only know how to set to a specific setting to a specific integer. Any idea how to go about adding to it.

Thanks.

P.S. I might be posting a lot of newb questions on here in the next couple weeks, I am totally drowning over my head here but I'm determined to figure this out.

Hi,

I'm trying to think of a way to scale an object smoothly so that it appears as if it is getting closer to the screen.

I need it to appear as if its rushing toward the player. Any ideas? Point me to the tutorial for that kinda thing?

Thanks for the help!

Hey thanks,

These are both good methods to know. I tired it but stuck with the RTS because it has path-finding.

Any ideas on that?

So I want my laser beam to stop when it hits a solid. I've got what I think is the correct code here, but obviously its not. Any ninja coders out there can fix this mess?

Tell me what to do?

I wasn't working on it very long, but long enough for it to be sad to have lost.

Thanks for the auto save info, I turned it on.

I'm using version .99.96

Looks like I need to learn the lesson of backing up my data.

Oh... RTS Behaviour = Fixed.
