So i got this code

if place_meeting(x+15,y+24,lightbeam) with (lightbeam) {instance_destroy()} instance_create (x+15,y+24,lightbeam) 
y.speed= 50

But it doesnt work. What i want it to do is if the object lightbeam is at the pouint 15,24 relative to mirror_up i want it to destroy the lightbeam and create a new light beam moving upwards with a speed of 50

Hmm.

if place_meeting(x+15,y+24,lightbeam) 
{
with (lightbeam) {instance_destroy()} 
with (instance_create(x+15,y+24,lightbeam))
{
speed= 50
direction=90
}
}

Is this what you want?

EDIT: Removed the space.

if (place_meeting(x+15,y+24,lightbeam)) 
     {  // <- important bracket
     with (lightbeam) {instance_destroy();};
     with (instance_create (x+15,y+24,lightbeam)) {v_speed= -50;}; // <- needs a with statement, imo
     };

Try that... I can only guess that the problem is not bracketing the statements and functions after the if, and not using a 'with instance create'
which would set the speed of object 'y' to 50 continuously

if x=mirror_up.x+15 and y=mirror_up.y+24 
{

with (lightbeam) {instance_destroy()}
instance_create (x+15,y+24,lightbeam) 
y.speed= 50
}

It's off the top of my head...hope it works

[monkeyboy3217]

None of these work and i have no idea why.....

Are you sure the object names do not conflict the names of the resources...try running the game in debug mode...

Maybe i have the collision coordinates wrong how would you check that?

[wadaltmon]

You said "y.speed" as a variable... what is "y"?
If it's an instance, then try naming it something else, like "inst_y" or "obj_y", then change it in the code to whatever you renamed it to.

Y.speed is the current speed of the object on the y axis

Try my above code again. I removed the space in the instance_create function.

Are you getting an error or just unintended results?

EDIT: Oh. Y? You named an object Y?

I did not name an object y but i am not getting an error code absolutely NOTHING happens :\


EDIT: I tried your code again...same results...

Oh! Then that's not the code you want to use. Use the variable " vspeed " for the movement on the y axis ( upward on the y axis is a negative number, downward is a positive number.
So, here's what your code should be...

if (place_meeting(x+15,y+15,lightbeam)
    {
        with (lightbeam) instance_destroy();        
    obj = instance_create(x+15, y+24, lightbeam)       
    with (obj) vspeed = //whatever value you want here. read above for what value ^^
    }

That should work.


EDIT: Worked out all the mistakes. works now

That should work.

Umm code editor doesnt like it it says unexpected symbol line 1 position 1...i dont even think that GML code

EDIT: That or the website totally screwed up....

What? French bracket? (I assume you mean {}...)
Don't copy and paste. Just type in the code manually.
And where I put "//whatever value you want here. read above for what value ^^" I meant replace that with -50 or 50.
