Im using a ball movement with the following code (for moving up) Every 1 second Set alterable value of Monster Random(6) Only when event loops +Alterable Value of Monster = 1 Create Curser 0,-32 from enemy Set direction to UP Movement Start Y Position of Monster = Y Position of cursor Set alterable value of Monster to 0 Desrtoy Cursor Alterable Value of Monster = 0 Movement Stop It works fine once and then when it comes to move up again it ignores the cursor and carrys on into the night? Whats the matter with my code? n/a

Code looks like it should work. Edit: Even though that seems a little wierdly coded, I would do it differently. Try a different way.

Change Y("Monster") == Y("Cursor") event to: Y("Monster") <= Y("Cursor")+ 2(or whatever margin of error you want) +Y("Monster") >= Y("Cursor") - 2 Set Alterable value("Monster") to 0 Set Y("Monster") to Y("Cursor") Destroy Cursor Alternatively, do both the movement and checking one pixel at a time in a fastloop.
