Copying progress from actor to another

[firststef]

Hi everyone!


I,m currently creating a game about possesed swords. At one point in my story my character gets possesed and changes appearence. I want a plugin that lets me copy the progress ive done with my first actor form and paste it on the second form.


I also have to mention that i,m not looking for a plugin that changes only the sprite... So no sprite changing. It has to be copy progress. Or some sort of variable....If you want more detail ill respond.


Please help! Please! (Even though you dont know for sure, an ideea is better than nothing)

It would help to get a list of what you want to copy and what not to copy - most things can easily be copied with an event, you don't need a script or plugin for that.


Just as an example, to copy the level all you need to do is use control variable to load the current level into the variable and then calculate the difference and change level by event command on the other actor.

Lol that was soooo easy!


Thank you!


Sorry for the double post ... So if i have questions they go here in -> js/plugin support?

 

[Andar]

no, only if it requires a plugin. In cases like those above where it can be done with eventing, it goes to general MV support


I've moved this thread to MV Support. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.

You don't need to use two actors.  Just have one actor and use the Change Actor Images command to make them look different.

Actualy i,m using a script that uses external images for actors... the change actor command allows me to only change the sprite. Besides, if i want to have a showdown between the two sides of the characters... 


Thx for the reply though.
