yeah, I agree with wgrace, if it could be a great metroid game, it could be the great beginning of a new franchise. there's no reason you can't come up with a good original setting, and weapons, and such, and come up with a great story. it's not like the market is saturated with metroid quality games. if you don't write good stories, team up with someone who does. I'm sure there are plenty of artists, writers, and such who would work with you with what you bring to the table

Some id like to see are sound notification on any msg, or on name mention. Flashing the tab upon activity, along with the name changing to "people said stuff", or "your name mentioned"

Also, it'd be cool if we could get the whole buddy thing integrated, so we could have a 2 friends are in chat thing at the top.

I like how its so much like a basic page though, the way it just loads and starts with no script booting hiccup, and no irc logging stuff

If you want to remember the same target and home on it even when others get closer you could do it like this

Make missle have a private variable called target, with a default of -1

For each missle,

------if target is equal to -1

-----------enemyfamily. - pick closest to missle.x,missle.y

------------------missle, set 'target' to enemyfamilt.uid

For each missle

------if target is not equal to -1

----------enemyfamily, pick by unique id missle('target')

-------------------missle(with bullet behavior). Set angle toward enemyfamily

This would make each missle target one enemy and stick with it till the end, though it'll be a bit trickier if you don't want two missles to ever target the same one

Yeah, if you do mean "for each object"

Then it automatically picks each object one at a time, and any actions referring to that objecttype in that event are automatically executed on the currently picked in that loop

hmmm. I know this is messy, but for now, you have to download the versions you see on each page as you go through the tuts

I never updated them all to work with the latest version

let me know if this was your problem

oh, well... not as embarrassing as I originally thought, but:

sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/construct/index.php
xenox posted a working link in another thread:

dl.dropbox.com/u/34306693/ghostshootertut.zip
personally I think that should still be the most prominently featured tutorial on the site. I think it's really one of the best introductions you can get to cc's power and workflow
