If statements

[NymmBo]

I'm trying to make a puzzle where you have to hit these signs in a specific order using variables hits and last_hit. As you can see by the numbers in the game screen both conditionals are true but it doesnt actually spawn the health object, only the sword?

Can I? I have no idea what I'm looking at, but I don't see any numbers.

I assume there's something you left out, because hits = 1 when sign_index == 1, and last_hit = sign_index, so how can last_hit == 3 if sign_index == 1?

I would put a show_debug_message in above the if statement. See what last_hit actually equals that may let you know what the mistake is.

Sorry, I should've explained better. each sign or colourful square has a number assigned to it (sign_index) from 1-4 left-right. there are two numbers haphazardly stuck on screen, a 1 showing the number of hits and the 3 showing the sign index. If the hits are equal to one and the sign index = 3 it should spawn a health pickup, which, since both are true, it should have done so. But it hasnt

p.s. sorry if i just mansplained that

New problem, I've tried it again with a debug message and it works, except it resets the hits after the correct sign it hits. Apart from this collision event there's only a creation event initialising last_hit and hits to 0. Any ideas?

What Animation End event is that in your screenshot?

It is a bit hard to tell from what you have posted but I suspect that hits and last_hit are instance variables of your obj_puzszle_sign.

Meaning each sign is storing its own copy of 'hits' and 'last_hit.' This probably not what you intend.

You were completely right, I turned it into a global variable and it seems to work perfect. Thanks a bunch

Oh, thats just to turn the sprite back into it's non-hit form after the hit animation ends
