Ok.... i am making a 3D platform type game... and i want to know what the code is to make it so that when object 1 (the player) collides with object 483 (finish box thingy)... then the game uses this code
destroy [object 1]
destroy [object 2]
etc...
gosub_level_2

... how would i do that?

You've done some indenting, but not enough.

One good thing about indenting your code is that 'something is wrong with my ending thingy' errors are a lot easier to spot.

Here's what you posted, but correctly indented:



You might not have posted all the code, but you've a stray return in there.

You really shouldn't intermix code between procedures or functions either. For example the following code appears to between two procedures:



Notice that the first If statement has no Endif.

Instead, list all procedures and functions at the end of your program.

In fact, looking more carefully at your code, it does have some more serious layout problems. You are Gosubing to _level2 - which is actually the next executable line! What's that all about?

On return, it will simply execute the procedure again, but have nowhere to return to.

May I suggest that you read parts 1 to 4 of my tutorials for beginners? In particular, part 2 covers the aspects of program layout which will help you avoid the problems you have run into.

(There's a link to the tutorials in the stickies at the top of this board).

I seriously suggest you use the code template from my tutorial and start your program again from scratch - before it gets any bigger and even harder to manage!
