Indie Day 25 - So You Know That Thing I Said I'd Do?

magic. i made magic.

that blue bar represents mana, it recharges over time due to this code in the step event.

if (mana < maxmana){

if instance_number (obj_magic_missile) = 0 {

mana=mana+10;

}

}

and you can only fire off one bolt every quarter of a second or so, due to this code, also in a step event.

if (magictimer > 0)

magictimer = magictimer-1;

if (magictimer < 0)

magictimer = 0;

and that works in conjunction with the code that actually creates the magic instance, in a global left mouse button event.

if weaponnumber = (2){

if (mana > 19){

if magictimer = 0{ 

instance_create (x,y, obj_magic_missile){

mana = mana-75

magictimer = 15;

}

}

}

}

that weaponnumber variable is basically a scale in which i can set 10 settings to, any more and i run out of number buttons.

all of this makes a little purple thing go pew pew.
