This is kinda my first shot at an actual "game" (just a pick 'em up). What I can't figure out is why my guy won't pick up my items! I tried this code for the pick-up:

Code:

---

action get_item1
{
	while(1)
	{
		my.pan+= 4 * time_step;
		if(event_type== event_entity)
		{
			items= items + 1;
			ent_remove(my);
		}
		wait(1);
	}
}

---

but the only part that works is the my.pan bit. It's the exact same for the other two, get_item2 and get_item3 (they would all disappear if I used one action for all the items).

It's probably one of those problems where you wanna kick yourself when you realize the simplicity of the answer ( ), but I really don't get it.

Should I be using event_entity? I think that might be it, but I'm not sure what to use instead.

So, can anyone point me in the right direction (no matter how kick-yourself-worthy it is, )?

Try something like this...
Code:

---

 
function item_event
{
	if(event_type == event_entity) && (you == player)
	{
		ent_remove(me);
	}
}

action item_action
{
	my.eneble_entity = on;
	my.event = item_event;
	while(me);
	{
 		my.pan += 4* time_step;
	wait(1);
	}
}

And remember about bounding boxes or use polygon detection

Um, it didn't work. Is the code in the wrong place? Here's the whole thing:

I Think it must be lower than ure Player Action... maybe move this under the Player Action... Because he wants Player==1

ohh.. take this "my.event = item_event;" into the Player Action...
Because the player must touch the entity and process the Function

Try this COde !!!!! This Works 100 % !

Code:

---

Function Item 										
{	
	while(my){
	if(event_type == event_entity ) 			
	{
	
	
		if(my.skill2 && you.skill1) 			
		{
			Points+=10; 	
			ent_remove(my);	 			
			
					
		}	
}

	}
}

Action Player_Move 									
{
	player=my; 											
	my.skill1=1; 										
	camera_pos(); 										
	my.enable_entity=on; 							
	my.event=Item;									
}

Action Item 																		 
{
	my.skill2=1; 																	
	my.enable_entity=on;	
        my.event=item;
while(1)
{
my.pan+=1*time_Step;
wait(1);
}
}

cYa Sebastian

*do not directly modify (invoke ent_remove, ent_create, c_move, etc.) in an event function
---if necessary, wait(1) before modifying
---instead use a flag / variable to modify in action while loop (hinted at by the manual)
*keep while loops out of event functions
*only use (global?) event_type in event functions (typically near top)
---do not use event_type in action loops or outside event functions (function redirection ok)

Code:

---

// just a sloppy example
var plItems[10];		// items carried by the player
define _id, skill6;
define _carry, flag5;

text itemT0 {
	pos_x = 0;
	pos_y = 0;
	string = "cabbage.mdl";
	string = "hemorrhoidOintment.mdl";
	string = "vodka.mdl";
	string = "duckTape.mdl";
}

	|| event_type == event_push) {
