SOLVED Character doesn't respawn in Space Rocks tutorial

[zee86]

I've followed the tutorial step-by-step, but can't understand why the character doesn't respawn. Any ideas please?

Please post the code in question rather than a project dump, as defined by the rules.

Oops, sorry, but how can I do it if it's a DND project?

obj_ship: Event Alarm 1

room_restart();

obj_ship: Collision obj_asteroid

// GameMaker Language Preview (Read-Only)

// Apply To
with(obj_game) {
    // Set Alarm Countdown
    alarm_set(1, room_speed);
}

// Play Audio
audio_play_sound(snd_die, 0, 0);

// Apply To
with(obj_game) {
    // Set Lives
    if(!variable_instance_exists(id, "__dnd_lives")) __dnd_lives = 0;
    __dnd_lives += real(-1);
}

// Destroy Instance
instance_destroy();

// Repeat
repeat(10)
{
    // Create Instance
    instance_create_layer(x + 0, y + 0, "Instances", obj_debris);
}

You're setting obj_game's alarm 1. It doesn't have an Alarm 1 event. obj_ship has an Alarm 1 event.

Sorry, but I'm still new to it. Can you please explain me what I'm doing wrong? The screenshots I see in the tutorial are the same settings of my game :-(

Where the text you screenshotted says "we need to add another Alarm Event into the object "obj_game"... you appear not to have added the event into the object obj_game, but the object obj_ship. The next paragraph contradicts that. Weird.

Oh :-( That's why I was confused then, thanks so much! Going to try!

 

[zee86]

Worked as a charm, thanks so much for your help!
