How do I…
How do I make a value get added to an array at the push of a button?
What is the expected result
When I press the up arrow, the controls external event sheet states that the value 1 is to be added to the player object’s array, “action,” which is empty at the start of the scene. Whenever the object boolean “tick” is true, the value at child 0 of the “action” array is read, and in this case, is interpreted to mean “move 8 px upwards,” based on the external events sheet “movement.” After receiving this info, the player object removes child 0 from the array, causing child 1 to take its place, and so on down the line. I’m pretty sure.
What is the actual result
The interval-based turn system, established in the external event sheet “tick intervals” works, so far. But only for adding 45-degrees to the object’s angle whenever “tick” is true. However, this new system of sending commands to the player object’s to-do list array doesn’t seem to work. When the arrow key is pressed, the text object that’s supposed to display the value of entity.action[0] only displays “0,” and the player object doesn’t do anything.
