M.C Problem

[bartymany]

Okay, I have a variable of health, and i want to make it so the movieclip goes to frame 2 when health is 50, but when i put the code in the movieclip it doesnt work, do i have to put a duplicate variable in the movieclip also or something?

What code ?

Just do

function onEnterFrame(){
if(Health<50){
MC.gotoAndStop(2)
}}

Thats AS2 of course but most of it its virtually identical to AS3

That will not go to frame 2 if Health is 50.

It had nothing to do with that it was in AS2, you just need to use your brain.
When Health is 50, Health is not less than 50.

onEnterFrame = function(){
	if(Health == 50){
		MC.gotoAndStop(2)
	}
}

That's what you meant to put.
Greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to would also work.

That wasnt the assumption, most of the time when someone needs code like that its because they want the charcters face to change when his health gets lower. under 100 is happy face , under 50 is sad, under 25 is beaten up etc so i thought he was looking for something with less than , unless he had 100 different states :P but yes <= would have been better but honestly how often do you need health to = an exact number ?

Fantastic; glad you got that all set up.
Next time, though, just give him what he asks for.
It's up to him to describe what exactly he needs.

He didn't say what his intentions were with it, so don't assume.
