Okay, I'm new here. *waves*

So, I've made about 10 Fraxy bosses. None of them have events, and are therefore simple, but I am proud of them.

However, I've tried to make a boss, one with pretty simple events. My idea was to surround the main core with indestructible plates that become shadowed when the four main energy eggs (which I have found useful for bullet-hells) are destroyed. It's simple, easy and pretty straightforward, right?

It's basically like this:

Energy Egg events
[shrapnel event, of course. That part works fine]
If destroyed Plate 09's variable 1 +1 value (child parts, the other plates are included)

Plate events
If variable 1 ! 1, normal flag
If variable 1 = 1, shadow flag

So, when I finish with it, I select it the Fraxy game itself, and let'er rip (I'm Texan

). However, after I destroy a single energy egg, the main core somehow gets destroyed, and the boss is killed.

... The heck?

So, I made a smaller version with a single energy egg (added one for another event, mainly it activating as well when all are destroyed), and it still doesn't work.

I have no idea what's going on here, but I've uploaded my Fraxy boss to Megaupload. And I have no idea how to link on this forum, so I'll just give the raw URL: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=J9BH3Z8K So, can anyone fix my problem?

Please and thank yous all around.

Mirai,

I have made a functional emulation of what you were attempting to create. The boss has been uploaded to the site here: http://acmlm.kafuka.org/uploader/get.php?id=3298

Diagnosed problems:

1. In game, destruction of child parts damages the parent part. Thus, destroying the energy egg ID 5 caused the core to also be destroyed due to insufficient hp.

2. I don't know why, but the variables were not functioning in game for energy egg ID 4. During troubleshooting, I rerouted the commands through the main core to track the variables. Apparently it works now.

Happy days.

Ah, that works perfectly. D: I see now.

Thank you both.
