Here is the code:


In this simple game, you control a sphere that is falling at a constant rate. The object of the game is to dodge all of the cubes. I want it so that when the sphere passes the first group of cubes, it destroys them so the game does not lag when the next batch is created. I have tried to do this, but there is an error. The error occurs at line 44, it says that the object doesn't exist. Please help me, I have tried to fix this problem by myself but I cannot seem to do it. Thanks, I have the trial version of DBPro, so there is not tutorial I can go to to get help.

Well first of all I'd write this bit like this

If Object Position Y (10)<-10000
for x = 11 to 300

rem - ERROR ORIGINATES HERE -
delete object x
rem - ERROR ORIGINATES HERE -

next x
endif


and then you'd need to position your sphere back to the top and create more objects to replace the ones you just deleted. Maybe something like the following?

I remed out one of your collision lines in that code btw. Also it's not a good idea to delete or create objects on the fly mid game as it can take a fair bit of time to do so. Your better only creating and deleting objects when loading a new level for example.

Thanks for your help! It works perfectly now. And, if you don't mind, how do you create new levels? I'm really new, so I don't know a lot of the basics yet. Thanks again.
