More Spinning Cherries

[Loilkas]

Okay, I been trying to use Sudnep's code from the original Spinning Cherry topic, and it is not working. I am almost certain I have done everything correctly but hey, I have no coding experience, so you might be able to see an error I've made that I can't.

Code: [Select]

with(delicious_fruit) { scrMakeCherrySpin(objCherry,384,320,5,1,900,5) }
Also, where do I put this script? I am making a boss using alarms, should I put it in there?

Also also, if I can get this to work, is there a way to merge it with the applesplosion script?

Do you have the scrMakeCherrySpin script set up properly too? That's sort of important.

Turns out I completely glossed over the step event code, now I have that in, I get this error

Code: [Select]

I don't know if it is to do with the fact I am using the Yoyoyo engine.

I'm fairly sure it's an error with the original script. It should be radiusDev not radiusDevdiusDev. The first is called by the script but the second is never mentioned anywhere else.

Okay, that's that fixed, but now I get yet ANOTHER error

Code: [Select]

Sorry I keep adding to the list of errors, I can't seem to fix them myself.

So this is another simple fix, and probably comes from the fact that studio acts differently to gm8/8.1

When in studio you have to set a variable to true or false, whereas in older versions it defaults to false.
The fix would be to do the following:

After "if orbitRadiusMax > orbitRadius { orbitRadiusDec = true }" add "else { orbitRadiusDec = false }"
and
After "if orbitRadiusMax < orbitRadius { orbitRadiusInc = true }" add "else {orbitRadiusInc = false }"

(Apologies I don't know how to do code formatting here and the button seems broken for me)

Thanks guys, its working now.
Sorry for my ignorance when it comes to coding.

It's okay. No one starts knowing everything. Learning to read error messages is very useful though. I recommend looking at this in the future to see if you can figure it out: https://docs.yoyogames.com/source/dadiospice/002_reference/debugging/runner%20errors.html
