sorry for the late reply. Thanks a lot guys. So much to learn but this opens up so many possibilities. Thanks again!

Using the same object to control 2 other objects. this one is hard to explain for a beginner. My game is a platformer. The aim of the game is to collect coins that are hidden in chests. To open the chest you have to answer a math question. I have successfully got the question working thanks to bbenny93. My issue now is that when i goto the first chest and answer the question both of the chests will open and give you a coin. I probably doing it all wrong. Do i have to create seperate question popups for each chest or can i use the same one but when answered they only open up 1 chest? Ive attatched the CAPX file so you can have a look. Thank you in advance.

thank you very much. ill remember that for next time. Its been so much fun learning this. How would you setup the answering of the question? I would like the player to put the answer in a text box and it would check it its correct when the button is pressed.

Hey guys im designing my first game!! been wanting to do this for a long time for my kids. This game is a platformer that you have to collect coins. they are inside chests. To open the chect you have to answer a random math question. My problem is that I cannot seem to create a random question. Im probably doing it all wrong but could someone point me in the right direction? thanks in advance.

This is what ive been trying in a text field

round(random(0,10)) " + " round(random(0,11)) " ="

says there is a syntax error with the " + "

what would be the best way of achieving what i want?

I would also like to know how you guys would handle the answering of these questions. Do i put a text box in and do a function to compare the values, then tell it to move on with the game?
