« on: January 27, 2009, 05:34:18 pm »

here i expect people to join as programmers to this project

if you can handle Game Maker (if you can handle any language you can with GM) write an AI script or write it in other language and i'll translate it.
 here is my project , i haven't updated it since last time, it features earthling cruiser and vux intruder:

I hate RARs... Mostly because they do essentially the same thing and they need a stupid shareware program (or freeware program cluttered with adware) in order to extract them. Maybe they compress better, but RARs are much more bad than they are good.

not bad. I would be willing to help, but:
1. I'm too busy with Amber the Dragon: Reclamation of the Throne
2. You're using too much drag&drop (I hate drag/drop, mostly because it is extremely time-consuming to duplicate)

what drad and drop?
AI don't use drag and drop

this is the cruiser AI:

{
    //AI script for earthling cruiser
    //sergio klefenz 12/12/08
    //pursue enemy until in range,
    //then stop pursue and shoot
   
    script_execute(scr_tracking,obj_control.ply1,turn*power(0.9,limpets));
    //check if need to shoot PDL
   
    //check for potential targets
    if instance_number(obj_destructible_parent) > 1
    {
        //temporary movement to avoid self-targeting
        x += 1024;
        //define the identity of the nearest target
        sdtgt = instance_nearest(x,y,obj_destructible_parent);
        //check target distance
        if point_distance(x,y,sdtgt.x,sdtgt.y) < 128
        {
            //try to shoot PDL
            script_execute(scr_PDL,id);
        }
        //restore position
        x -= 1024;
    }
    //PDL code end


    //check if pointing target
    if abs(direction-tgtdir) < 10
    {
        //if target if far close up
        if point_distance(x,y,tgtx,tgty) > 1024
        {
            vecx += cos(direction*pi/180)*acc*power(0.9,limpets);
            vecy += sin(direction*pi/180)*acc*power(0.9,limpets);
            //activate propulsor
            prop = 1;
        }
        //try to fire a misil
        else
        {
            //deactivate the propulsor
            prop = 0;
            //check energy
            if energy >= 9
            {
                //check cooldown
                if shoota = 1
                {
                    //fire a misil and set the cooldown
                    global.multi = instance_create(x+lengthdir_x(96,direction),y+lengthdir_y(96,direction),obj_mx);
                    global.multi.tgt = obj_control.ply1
                    global.multi. direction = direction;
                    if alarm[2] > 3 {alarm[2] += 4;}
                    shootb = 0;
                    shoota = 0;
                    alarm[0] = 15;
                    energy -= 9;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    //limit speed
    script_execute(scr_speed_limitation);


maybe you didn't see into the scripts folder

I understand you aren't using only drag/drop, but you are using drag/drop.

ERROR in
action number 4
of Create Event
for object obj_button_ship:

Error in code at line 4:
           case 1: sprite_index = spr_ico_guardian; break;

at position 33: Unknown variable spr_ico_guardian


(and that's only the first error in a long stream of similar errors)

A quick glance at your GMK file shows me that indeed the graphic resource does not exist (or is improperly named). If you look at the code in the create event for obj_button_ship, any line in the switch/case statement where the resource name doesn't change to the color purple means the graphic resource isn't present or is missnamed.

Oh and thanx for putting it in .zip format and finding a better host!

Uh, you know that you can cut-n-paste long lists of D&D code don't you? Also, if you use a parent object, all daughter objects will run the same code in the events of the parent. Thus it's often not nessicary to duplicate D&D or GML code in the first place.

7-zip also does RARs....
