Yep

thought so

[Dusty]

you can knock shit down with the gravity gun.
woot.

[Dusty]

i can't get the gravity gun to switch to the physgun.
however i can get the physgun to switch to the gravity gun
and its the same code, except for the object it switches to

game maker is in sequential order, so you might have to look out for that.

How are you doing on the dragging? imo it would be a better idea to create an object (it might even be invisible) that the boxes and stuff gravitate towards

[NAGN]

make sure that it isn't


if gravity gun = true
{
phsygun
}
if phsygun = true
{
gravity gun
}

make sure it's


if gravity gun = true
{
phsygun
break
}
if phsygun = true
{
gravity gun
break
}

draging? you mean picking things up?
except for some glitches (you can put objects in yourself), its done.

also the code for the gravity gun switch (temporary 'till i can find a better solution and i know its on Q, that's not permanent either)

Code:

if(keyboard_check_pressed(ord('Q'))){
    instance_create(x,y,PhysicsGunO)
    with(pickID){
        pickedUp = 0
    }
    instance_destroy()
    }

compared to the Physics Gun switch:
if(keyboard_check_pressed(ord('Q'))){
    instance_create(x,y,GravityGunO)
    with(pickID){
        pickedUp = 0
    }
    instance_destroy()
    }

[NAGN]

why don't you change it to an actual event instead of step or whatever?

[Dusty]

hm. i'll try that.
but i'm not expecting it to work.
yeah that didn't work.

[NAGN]

This kind of shit usually only happens when the game still thinks you're still pressing the same button

maybe something is interfering with the step event I dunno tell me what events you have?

Code: (Grav Step)

x= PlayerO.x+(xoffset*image_yscale)
y= PlayerO.y+yoffset
image_angle = point_direction(x,y,mouse_x,mouse_y)
if(keyboard_check_pressed(ord('Q'))){
instance_create(x,y,PhysGunO)
    with(pickID){
        pickedUp = 0
    }
    instance_destroy()
    }

Put them both in the begin step so that hopefully they're done in order

nope, the gravity gun is still sticking.

[NAGN]

Hmmmmm

give me the object information thing

[Dusty]

[NAGN]

Perhaps it just isn't being drawn, put the draw event into both events

even if you just have to have a single draw_sprite funtion
