For me with both XP and win 7 also, it only takes about 5 seconds.

But that includes my virus software scanning the file on opening, I to only use standard plug ins...

Maybe related to your internet connection as I know C2 checks for updates on boot...

why not add or subtract the value at the control level?

right button pressed add 1 to var

left button pressed -1 from var?

KSLR Nope, I realised you have to have fire button down to be able to jump high enough, I'm using keyboard and firefox...

KSLR Yeah, I sussed it just after writing... <img src="smileys/smiley9.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

The pink 360 pad is a nice touch!... I can't seem to get past the first checkpoint though, I can't jump high enough???

Oh i didn't realise you wanted a weighted drop...

well a family will give an even random drop

or the way with one drop item you could change the chance percentage by having more than one frame of certain items giving a better chance of a hit...

The way your doing it would be fine also, there is no right or wrong way if it's working for you...

Any reason you using random (10) for 3 items?...why not random (3)?...

yes, that will get kinda messy...and you would only be able to have 10 drop items max, with your example...

If you have the paid version you can use a family

and the command spawn "name of family" will create a random item from that family...

if using free version, its probably better to use one sprite, call it drops, and put each drop item into that as a seperate animation frame, set animation speed to 0.

Then in game

monster spawn drops sprite, set frame number to int(random(10)) if you have ten items...

Chances are, you are picking it, before it's been created, so once created you need to reference it to your stop condition...

Adding "is on screen" to the condition may work...but

Difficult to help more without more info...

— so that's got the creative juices flowing...

level one see's princess kyatric playing barbies guitar in the background... <img src="smileys/smiley22.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> ...

while our chivalrous hero, fassflash chased by an enraged mineet,collects five barbie dolls to shove through the strings at the end of the level...

Anyone laughing at this thread will be moderated...

That's very pink, rare even..it's your only game with no weird eyes!! <img src="smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Thanks for posting...

Patriick That's brilliant work...
