SubHunt

[DmanPfeif]

Hey guy,

In case you couldn't tell from my subject, I'm making a game called SubHunt. For those of you who have never heard of the Palm game called subhunt, it's basiclly a game where you try and blow up subs beneath the water. I'm doing a good job, I've even figured out how to make the ship move! But I've run into a problem. I need to make a bomb fall from the bottom of the boat.I made a child movie that has a bomb fall from the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen. Then I made a key command so when you hit the space bar, it goes to a script that says to get the x position of the boat and set it as a variable, the assigns the x position of the boat to the x position of the bomb. Then i say show then play. Everything works EXCEPT the play. HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!

Why use the play command at all?

Set the bomb position off screen
child.bomb.position.x=-100
child.bomb.position.y=-100
child.bomb.velocity.y=0

When you want the bomb to drop

set child.bomb.position.x = boat.x
set child.bomb.position.y = boat.y
set child.bomb.velocity.y = 50


where child is the dotted name of the child movie as for example

child = element("bombmovie")
