This is the relevent code from the Action which is connected to a model in WED. Code: my.Skill41 = float(random(2)-1); my.Skill42 = float(random(2)-1); my.Skill43 = float(random(2)-1); my.Skill44 = float(1.5); ERROR: Code: Error in 'MAIN' lime 35: 'Skill41' : is not a member of 'ENTITY' The best games are the games you create yourself.

It has been replaced by floatv in lite-c. You code should look like this... my.skill41 = floatv(random(2)-1); my.skill42 = floatv(random(2)-1); my.skill43 = floatv(random(2)-1); my.skill44 = floatv(1.5);

Another question, how can I draw a black panel? Can I just use 1px black panel and stretch it or something? The best games are the games you create yourself.

Create it in MS paint or another graphics program and then use normal panels but don't set the OVERLAY flag. I wouldn't recommend you draw it using code when loading an image is easier and effective.

I will use a 1px image, but I thought I read somewhere that you can scale it to a specific size. I want it to be 1024px x 30px. The best games are the games you create yourself.

A more experienced 3DGS user will have to confirm/correct this...
