thx guys..

having trouble with my shoot delay function, to allow time between bullets.

i have set my bullet with an instance variable of fire to value 0 and created a event group called shoot which contains my shoot command.

on click-player spawn-bullet

bullet set fire=1

bullet=1-sys-deactivate group shoot

sys-wait x seconds

bullet-set fire=0

bullet =0-sys activate group shoot

this doesnt seem to add any shoot delay to my game almost as if command is being ignored, hope it sounds clear,

thanks

show images worked.

thx peeps.

my anims are saved as clear cell gifs? will this be a problem?

i have all individual images, but saving them in image ready for me is faster.

example (walking sprite - exploding sprite etc)

i understand hard work, but the tutorial you pointed out... theres a snag, the images seem to be missing :'(

Arghghgh

well i view the youtube howto's which bounce me along a lot quicker normally for me and what i viewed was advanced and frustrating lol. yup reading the tutorials is probably best but without glazing over and drifting into daydream world loosing the will to live will be a challenge.

i have a backround

i have a sprite

i have a target anim gif sprite

all of which are of high quality and ready to go...

BUT,all the tutorials i have viewed totaly suck, it is assumed you understand the programme 30 seconds after clicking install.

i cannot find, how to make your target move across the screen?

if there is mention of it then its disguised in unfamiliar jargon,

you click on your sprite to give him instructions to find they make no sense?

:'( basic commands.............

i am proficient in illustrator, photoshop, & music editing software etc... all of which can be picked up with trial and error as you stumble along even as total beginner, anyone know of some dumbed down tutorial i can actually understand as i am now at the point of headbutting the keyboard!

many thx
