Hi. I'm a 'Newbie' and this is my first article so I hope that everything is clear. Well, here it goes!


This system will activate a cheat in the middle of a game by simply typing it in without entering it in a password box or such. For this system to work you need an active object (which will be represented by x) so you can use its variables. Now, go into the Event Editor and creat the following actions- I am going to use a cheat that's in one of my games as an example (the cheat word is FLAGS).

Upon pressing 'F'::set (x) object alterable value A to 10

Upon pressing 'L'
(insert the following)
(x) object alterable value A =to 10:: set (x) object alterable value A to 9

Upon pressing 'A'
(insert the following)
(x) object alterable value A =to 9:: set (x) object alterable value A to 8

Upon pressing 'G'
(insert the following)
(x) object alterable value A =to 8:: set (x) object alterable value A to 7

Upon pressing 'S'
(insert the following)
(x) object alterable value A =to 7:: (have your cheat do what it does like give you an extra life.)


If you followed this example correctly, your cheat should work!

P.S. A couple things I forgot to add. You might be able to do this using a global value instead of a an active objects value but I'm not sure 'cuz I haven't tried. And '::' means everything after that is the conditions actions.

HOPE IT HELPED!
