I'm working on a sort of like a this space fighter type of game(like the arwing missions in starfox 64). unfortunetly i'm having trouble with the function that creates the missile. heres my code. [edit] took off little # signs


the problem i'm having is is that i can't make an object called missile# even though it equals 2. i tried using val but i didn't really get what it did. if anyone could help me that would be great.

The variables you define in your main program can't be used within functions. So what's happening is you define the variable missile in your main program as 2, but in the function you have another variable also called missile, but by default it is defined as 0. You need to either add a parameter to the function like:

request_shot(missile)

Or you can write your function as a sub routine and then return back to your main loop once its finished.
