I have been coding an Mk48.io game where it's a scrolling background, the player (purple) stays at (0,0) and the bot launches torpedoes. However, when you increase speed, the torps stop launching from the bot. Please help.

I think this works?


in your “Bot” sprite:

when I start as a clone :: cat
show
set [Bot Health v] to [50]
set [Bot X v] to (pick random (-300) to (300))
set [Bot Y v] to (pick random (-200) to (200))
forever
set [Bot Turning v] to (pick random (-5) to (5))
repeat (5)
turn ccw (Bot Turning) degrees
go to x: ((Bot X) - (Scroll X)) y: ((Bot Y) - (Scroll Y))
change [Bot X v] by (([sin v] of (direction)::operators) * [1])
change [Bot Y v] by (([cos v] of (direction)::operators) * [1])
+set [Bot X - Torp v] to (Bot X)
+set [Bot Y - Torp v] to (Bot Y)
if on edge, bounce
end
end

Thank you. I do ask if you know how to fix where the torpedoes go, as they now go off-screen, not to the player.

I think there're two problems, one is that the “Bot” you spawned is a clone, and that go to block makes it goes to original sprite instead of the clone

when I start as a clone :: cat
show
+go to x: ((Bot X - Torp) - (Scroll X)) y: ((Bot Y - Torp) - (Scroll Y))
point towards (Bot Torp Aiming v)
set [Bot X - Torp Mov v] to (Bot X - Torp)
set [Bot Y - Torp Mov v] to (Bot Y - Torp)
...

the other is that the “Bot Torp Aiming” sprite wasn't on your player

when green flag clicked :: cat
hide
forever
+go to (Player v)
end

or use

go to x: ((Player X) - (Scroll X)) y: ((Player Y) - (Scroll Y))

or

go to x: (0) y: (0)
