hi I am makeing a break out game on game maker7 my problem is that I am useing multiple diffrent types of blocks, and I am having trouble geting it to change levels here is what I have tryed, one thing I tryed was this script:
if (instance_number(block_1_room_0) == 0) and (instance_number(blue_block) == 0)and(instance_number(broken_blue_block) == 0) and (instance_number(bomb_block) == 0) and (instance_number(missle) == 0)
then
{
room_goto(between_levels_room_1);
}


I also tryed makeing several objects with the instance count, that after counting the instance of one object it swaped to another object. oh and I have the plan version not upgraded.

oh and I was not sure if I sould put this in game paradise or tech support

oh your siginature right

ha ha that is funny

Your way of thinking should work, really. My memory's really fuzzy from not using Game Maker in a long time, but I don't see why using instance_count for each block in an invisible instance in the room that keeps track of instance_count wouldn't work.

Of course, to avoid messy scripts you could make up your own variable. I'm not positive this would work, but maybe...

1.) Create an invisible instance for a room. in Create, have it set a variable to however many blocks there are.
2.) Also in create, write a script (or drag n' drop if/then statements, this is sometimes easier for me since I forget GML easily) that basically says "if (variable=0) then (whatever the change room command is)"
3.) Have each block, upon destruction, lower the variable by 1

The only problem is I don't remember if variables can be room-wide or if they always have to be instance-specific.

yeah when ever I used variable I found the variable has to be mentioned in the script as b= a value before hand Inless there is something I do not know, which there probly is Oh and for the instance switch one I set it up so that that it would check it and then switch to the next instance in the list. but I will try with the variable a bit thanks

yeah I tryed useing the variable like you said but when I pressed L which is the cheat code I set to destroy all blocks, it does not go on to the next level. everytime I tryed something it did not work with that result or error in text which I always fixed.

I wish they would send me a confirmation email already so I could post this on their site.:mad:

you don't happen to have an accout on their offical site to post my problem on?

No, I don't.

oh ok::D: thanks
