I think I've got a good chunk of Functions figured out, but I'm having trouble working out how to pull the values from the parameters and plug them back into the instance variables they initially reference.

I have four different variables which are all checked in the same way to make sure they stay within bounds.

When a power-up is collected, the EXP variable is increased. When it reaches 100+, the LVL variable goes up by 1 and the EXP variable is reset to the [amount]-100. And, the LVL can't go higher than 4. (I forgot to add a check when the EXP is greater than 100 at LVL 4...I'll fix that later.)

As I understand it so far, the Function action "Set Return Value" does just that: sets the Return Value for that parameter. But I see that there is also a Return expression, and I believe that is how I would pull up the value that was set by "Set Return Value". However, I am unsure where to plug it in at - in the Function instructions or after the Function call?

This way, whether it's the speed, the fire rate, etc, that gets put into each of the two parameters upon the call to the Function, each instance variable is updated as if I created four sets of identical events for each variable (which...is rather what Functions help with, so...duh lol).

Thanks for the help!

Tetriser - I have not. I've been very busy with work and personal life stuff. I'll try to give it a look later on.

zenox98 - GOT IT! Thank you! That is SUCH a lifesaver! I'm back in business!
Nearly seven whole days of work was lost (well...not totally true...I also save different files as I make progress, so I basically create my own "backups", too).

Problem Description

I downloaded beta release 204 (April 27). Then, when trying to open a .capx file I saved (while using beta release 203), it gave me the following errors:

[quote:drhawpbo]---------------------------
Construct 2 Check failure - C2 Beta Release r203

---------------------------

Check failure! This is probably a bug:

cannot find animation frame either in last_path or project location

Condition: FileExists(GetProjectPath().c_str())

File: Projects\AnimationFrame.cpp

Line: 239

Function: class std::basic_string<wchar_t,struct std::char_traits<wchar_t>,class std::allocator<wchar_t> > __cdecl AnimationFrame::GetActivePath(void) const

Build: release 203 (64-bit) checked

Component: Construct 2 IDE

(Last Win32 error: 3)

Clicking RETRY (on the alert pop-up) yields the following:

[quote:drhawpbo]---------------------------
Error loading project

---------------------------

Failed to open project '\\?\C:\Users\Rhindon\AppData\Local\Temp\capM6WHGK\Gradient Run.caproj':

Cannot find object texture file 'ShipHit.png' in the project texture folder. Check the file has not been renamed or removed.

Under element: c2project \ object-folder \ object-folder \ object-type

Line 248, column 13

The file may be invalid. Try checking the file in a text editor (projects are saved in XML format).

Attach a Capx

Tokinsom - I'm AWARE of it, but I have no idea how long it's going on for. I'm just trying to help promote it. I didn't set the schedule. I'm actually just a participant.
