can anybody help me i cant understand why this wont work?

im trying to get the police sprite to spawn when the letters deliverd variable reaches a random number between 1 and 6

have a look its pretty obvious what im trying to do.

example

i see, nice one!

Tactics

move the plane to pick up your solider's

drop the solider on the air field so that they can take out the SAMs

watch out for the SAM's, make sure your plane dont touch them

you can only pick up one guy at a time

after a set amount of time the enemy will launch a nuke so go get em!

id really like to develop this idea further so if anybody would like to get involved just get in touch

TACTICS

OK, so there is no bullet movement, so does that mean the movement is all done in the second line? so the "move 100 * dt pixels", that's how your getting the character to move?

im gunna play around with it see what i can make of it

thanks for the help

well that defiantly works, but its a little confusing, if you don't mind could you tell me what the 100*dt means.

i know the * is multiply but what are you multiplying?

is it the variable that is making the bullet movement change?

im a total beginner so if its a dumb question i apologise

thankyou sir

for some reason i cant open the file

its saying i need version 91 ive just updated but its only given me version90

frustration...........

i would like to help in anyway i could

these are for a game i am working on at the moment so there only concepts.

let me know if i can help

thats an amazing effect, works really well

we need a more in depth tutorial to understand this...... pretty please?

in this example i am trying to get the player character to snap to the direction of the arrows, but i cant get it to work

ive tried to set the characters position to the arrows position but the bullet movement wont change direction

im sure im just missing something simple but i cant find the answer anywhere

here's my example

example

this should be the capx file example capx

i can get the character to move in the right direction if i spawn another object but can it be done using the same object?

ok will do

thanks for the help!
