Changing the player routine is not a priority right now.

Probably a lot of work but you should consider making a room based design too. That would help with scrolling issues for the moment. Example have an option to game settings for room based and choose how many pixels horizontally and vertically to change to next room.

[Zener]

It is on my mind...I am not sure how to do it properly because the levels can be rooms and I think it would be better to keep it that way

Have you tried "Show All Files" option in the Workbench menu associated with the current drawer window? Maybe the inner drawer lacks a .info file containing the icon image.

You will need also to have a WB installation in your hard drive, or at least some libraries and commands like assign

Help please. I need an interval in shooting. I made a player that can shoot projectiles with: 'instantiate > object'. But now I can shoot continuously while I want to shoot every 2 seconds. So I need to disable the fire button for two seconds. I also thought of using the Timer option but I can't get it to work. Activate Timer does nothing.

For enemy shots I was thinking of making a loop like this:

Once | Activate Timer - Timer (assuming this will start the game tick)
--------------------------
Timer = X | Set Var - Timer - 0 (X is the amount of ticks equivalent to 2 seconds)
--------------------------
Timer = 0 | Instantiate - Object

But it doesn't work like this.

I will try if it works with an example

I've managed to a cooldown using a Global var and an extra trigger

Ah clever trick. That should work thanks.

Another question. Although the latest wip version of redpill is already faster, it still slows down by multiple objects. So I can't add more then 10 enemies in one level. It seems that objects that aren't on screen are also loaded. So the start of a level is slow, then with every enemy you kill the game gets faster. Not pretty. So is it possible to have a global setting to only load objects that are on screen?

[Zener]

There is a way to mitigate this if in the object the first trigger has condition "is off screen" and action "halt triggers" it will stop the next triggers for the object to be checked, making everything a bit faster.

I will try to find a smarter way to do it in the future.

Now trying on FS, UAE, i get to the workbench screen and i see the redpill folder but when i click on the exe nothing happens.

From scratch i put a500 rom
wb 3.1 install.adf in drive one
wb 3.1 workbench.adf in drive two
path to redpill drive three

I must be missing something?

Cheers

[Zener]

Are you using an a500 rom? I don't think Redpill works currently with this room. And probably you need an a1200 rom if you are using wb 3.1 disks.

To use an A500 ROM works if it's version 3.1. 2.x or older won't work.
