Is there any way to make this faster? Considering some games, 100 it too slow. I've tried messing around with the "fast loop" extension but to no avail. Has anyone found a way to overcome this problem? I've been stuck on this for about 2 days now. Any help is greatly appreciated! Beach Invasion II will come out if you are lucky.

If not, use the x/y positions to test if the shot hits instantly. Otherwise, maybe try very large (or long, rather) invisible bullets moving at 100. n/a
Andy G Registered 07/07/2002 Points 860	9th November, 2003 at 04:47:23 - Yeah I've tried both of them. Unfortunately I do have obstacles that'll block the bullets. Beach Invasion II will come out if you are lucky.

Mutantleg Registered 15/05/2002 Points 244	9th November, 2003 at 10:55:13 - well, it skips 5 pixels but if you want to, you can copy the event like 10 times and change the bullets position only by x:1 y:0 per event n/a

It's a blast to the past, the age was marked as 14 when I found it. If you know where to look, you can track me. Au revoir.
Radix hot for teacher Registered 01/10/2003 Points 3139	9th November, 2003 at 15:55:28 - I thought of a very interesting (and complex) method last night that doesn't necessarily need fastloop. I'll test it out and post an article. n/a

Grazzum - Scorpion E Registered 25/10/2003 Points 918	10th November, 2003 at 16:31:45 - Anyone got one for MMF? n/a
Andy G Registered 07/07/2002 Points 860	12th November, 2003 at 16:43:50 - Thanks Roman, I think that helped a lot. I'm gonna mess with it now and see how I can impliment it. Thanks again. Beach Invasion II will come out if you are lucky.

Grazzum - Scorpion E Registered 25/10/2003 Points 918	14th November, 2003 at 13:44:43 - ahhh I didn't know. I'm new to this! n/a
Weston L Registered 16/12/2002 Points 1603	14th November, 2003 at 23:17:17 - Speed 100 is too slow? n/a
Grazzum - Scorpion E Registered 25/10/2003 Points 918	14th November, 2003 at 23:46:18 - 100? Hell I could dodge that myself with a gimp leg and a blindfold n/a

Andy G Registered 07/07/2002 Points 860	17th November, 2003 at 03:16:21 - It's extremely slow considering what I'm trying to do. 'Eh I guess I'll find a way around it. You never know. Beach Invasion II will come out if you are lucky.

DeadmanDines Best Article Writer Registered 27/04/2006 Points 4758	18th November, 2003 at 09:13:19 - The events in MMF/TGF take about 0.02 seconds to run, which people have always thought is very slow. So, the 'fastloop' was invented. This runs any events with the 'on loop' condition, and it keeps running them again and again and again. You can start a loop from the actions in the 'special' object (it's put in your MMF frame the moment you start). You assign each loop a name and a number of loops to do. Then, you insert the 'on loop' condition, again from the 'special conditions' object, and type in the name of the loop (such as 'move'). You can name a loop anything you want. 191 / 9999 * 7 + 191 * 7

Btw why not juts make it 360^ while you at it, if you are using trigonometry.
