Hi, sorry to post a new topic but i couldent finde any a working exempel....
okay my problem is that i got this code :

{
  // check whether you can shoot
  if (not can_shoot) exit;
  can_shoot = false;
  // show the animation and play the sound
  image_speed = 0.4;
  image_index = 0;
  sound_play(machingun);
  // determine what you hit
if place_meeting( x+x, y+y,obj_monster1);
instance_destroy(other);
}

but i got this error:
___________________________________________
FATAL ERROR in
action number 4
of Mouse Event for Glob Left Pressed
for object Gun:

COMPILATION ERROR in code action
Error in code at line 11:
instance_destroy(other);

at position 24: Wrong number of arguments to function or script.

i know it's the instance_destroy that doesent work but why....
any help would be appricatied

and agine sorry to ask this n00b question xD

[Maxi06]

Change it to
with(other)
{
instance_destroy();
}
that should work.

[chaz13]

Change it to:

with(other)
instance_destroy()

instance_destroy() has no arguments.

[dado320]

Change it to
with(other)
{
instance_destroy();
}
that should work.

okay i will try and if it works THANKS

[dado320]

okay now i can start the game agine... but the code will only destroy me HUD... not the enemy

[Maxi06]

is the code placed in a collision event?

[chaz13]

Oh, you can't use other like that.

Use this:

{
  // check whether you can shoot
  if (not can_shoot) exit;
  can_shoot = false;
  // show the animation and play the sound
  image_speed = 0.4;
  image_index = 0;
  sound_play(machingun);
  // determine what you hit
var c;
c=instance_place( x+x, y+y,obj_monster1);
if (c){
with(c)
instance_destroy();
}
}

okay well maby i should tell you some stuff also XD sorry i thougt the code would work
before i used this code that doesent need a bullet obj

{
  // check whether you can shoot
 if (not can_shoot) exit;
  can_shoot = false;
  // show the animation and play the sound
  image_speed = 0.7;
  image_index = -1;
  sound_play(machingun);
  // determine what you hit
  var xx, yy, ii;
  xx = global.camx;
  yy = global.camy;
  repeat (50)
  {
	xx += 4*global.camcos;
	yy -= 4*global.camsin;
	ii = instance_position(xx,yy,obj_wall_basic);
	if (ii == noone) 
	{
	  ii = instance_position(xx,yy,obj_monster_basic);
	  if (ii == noone) continue;
	  with (ii) instance_destroy();
	  break;
	}
	if object_is_ancestor(ii.object_index,obj_plant_basic) continue;
	if (ii.object_index == obj_barrel) 
	   with (ii) instance_destroy();
	break;
  }
}

but when i used it the freaking enemy would die so.. i chaged it a bit cuz i thout i could first check whatever the enemy is infront off me and then kill it ... sorry i'm nnot so good to tell detiles XD sorry

instance_destroy();
}
}

[Katuko]

Wouldn't that be with © { instance_destroy(); } ?

[dado320]

emm what?

[chaz13]

Yeah, my mistake. Forgot to change that.

[DarkSentinel]

It's supposed to be

with ( c ) { instance_destroy(); }

Katuko didn't put spaces so the forum replaced it with the copyright symbol ©.

[dado320]

okay, but still the code dosent work, i dont know why but in my other game i can kill the enemys with the same code

[DarkSentinel]

Probably because you are destroying the enemy at the position x+x and y+y. Why that position? Don't you want something like mouse_x and mouse_y?

[dado320]

Okay, i fell i dident explaine it to you corectly so i will try to do an other try.

1. i got this code in the global.left.pressed(mouse):

{
  // check whether you can shoot
 if (not can_shoot) exit;
  can_shoot = false;
  // show the animation and play the sound
  image_speed = 0.7;
  image_index = -1;
  sound_play(machingun);
  // determine what you hit
  var xx, yy, ii;
  xx = global.camx;
  yy = global.camy;
  repeat (50)
  {
	xx += 4*global.camcos;
	yy -= 4*global.camsin;
	ii = instance_position(xx,yy,obj_wall_basic);
	if (ii == noone) 
	{
	  ii = instance_position(xx,yy,obj_monster_basic);
	  if (ii == noone) continue;
	  with (ii) { instance_destroy(); };
	  break;
	}
	if object_is_ancestor(ii.object_index,obj_plant_basic) continue;
	if (ii.object_index == obj_barrel) 
	   with (ii) instance_destroy();
	break;
  }
}

2.In my other game i stole the code from i can kill the enemys with this code...
3.just yell if you dont understand i'll try to send you the .gmc file

[Botyto]

if place_meeting( x+x, y+y,obj_monster1);
instance_destroy(other);

Impossible! you can't be intouch with something at that position
