Programming players

How can you program a player to walk a certain amount of steps and then "die?"

 

We are having a difficult time trying to make this happen, as simple as it sounds. Thanks!

I'm guessing that the difficulty is because you want this to happen in a collision, and yield isn't allowed in collisions. What you need to do is something like:

In the collision:

- set the color of the agent to something, maybe red or blue, to indicate that it is about to die (if the agent's shape has a "skin" you won't see this difference, so it's just an internal marker)

In the main forever code for that breed:

- if color = red (or whatever you use) then

    - repeat 10 (or some number)

         - forward 1

         - yield

    - (you might want add another repeat/yield loop here with something other than movement, like a say block or something)

    - die

Does this help?
