im trying to make it before-game there is a functin where it goes 'Ready' 'Set' and 'go'. i thought i had it alright;

Code

Information about object: Next_level

Sprite: <no sprite>
Solid: false
Visible: true
Depth: 0
Persistent: false
Parent: <no parent>
Mask: <same as sprite>

Create Event:
set variable level_start to 0
set Alarm 5 to 0

Alarm Event for alarm 5:
play sound Game Beginning; looping: false
sleep 6000 milliseconds; redrawing the screen: true
if level_start is equal to 1
        sleep 3000 milliseconds; redrawing the screen: true
if level_start is equal to 2
        sleep 3000 milliseconds; redrawing the screen: true
if level_start is equal to 3
        sleep 3000 milliseconds; redrawing the screen: true
if level_start is equal to 4
        sleep 1000 milliseconds; redrawing the screen: true
destroy the instance

Draw Event:
set the font for drawing text to font_levelcomplete and align center
set the drawing color to 16777215
if level_start is equal to 1
        at position (0,0) draw text: Ready
if level_start is equal to 2
        at position (0,0) draw text: Steady
if level_start is equal to 3
        at position (0,0) draw text: Seriously?
if level_start is equal to 4
        at position (0,0) draw text: Go!

The variable game_beginning is what i used as the controller

Can anyone tell me what i did wrong?

someone told me on the GMC i have to use an 'stop code' or something like that

But i dont know what that is

All hail the bunnies!

I can help.
create an object and call it "ready_set_go" and make a variable in the create event and call it "part" and set it to 0. in the create event also put alarm 0 to 90 (remeber that 30 steps = 1 second if the room speed is 30)
create the alarm 0 event and put this code in it.

Code

if part=0
{part=1 alarm[0]=90 exit;}
if part=1
{part=2 alarm[0]=90 exit;}
if part=2
{part=3 alarm[0]=90 exit;}
if part=3
{instance_destroy() exit;}

then make a draw event and make this code

Code

draw_set_font(font_readysetgo)
draw_set_color(c_yellow)
draw_set_halign(fa_center)
draw_set_valign(fa_center)
if part=1
{draw_text(room_width/2,room_height/2,"Ready")}
if part=2
{draw_text(room_width/2,room_height/2,"Set")}
if part=3
{draw_text(room_width/2,room_height/2,"Go!")}

that should make it work, just put the object "ready_set_go" in every room.

EDIT: also, do you want to not be able to move while there is ready set go? and the enemies not move either?

yes, yes please. at the start, can you make the 'ready set go' start earlier. i just think it should start a second after the theme song, not 3 second's after
but you can keep the 3 second interval
thnx in advance biggrin
