Making A Bomb Fire From Under My Boss?, in a 2d platforming game?

[Zonar Games]

I'm made a script in the step event of the boss where my boss fires a bomb from right under the ship. But it does'nt work the bomb fires in different places of the room. And I want the bomb to create from under the ship. Here is 2 samples of the code: And also i'm using Game Maker 6

if ( can_bomb = 1)
{
   instance_create(obj_eggman.35,obj_eggman.50,obj_bomb);
   sound_play(bombdrop)
   alarm[0] = 10;
   can_bomb = 0;
}[/CODE]

[CODE]if ( can_bomb = 1)
{
instance_create(view_xview + 35,view_yview + 50,obj_bomb);
sound_play(bombdrop)
alarm[0] = 10;
can_bomb = 0;
}[/CODE]

But it just fires in other places of the room can anyone help me with this?

"instance_create(obj_eggman.35,obj_eggman.50,obj_bomb);"

obj_eggman.35? Heh, seems like you mixing semantics.

Anyway, to get a variable stored in a different object, it's "object_name.variable_name", so for obj_eggman's x variable it'd be "obj_eggman.x". Of course, that's not needed if this code is being operated from the object "obj_eggman", you'd just say "x".

Here's what the code should look like:

if ( can_bomb = 1)
{
   instance_create(obj_eggman.x+35,obj_eggman.y+50,obj_bomb);
   sound_play(bombdrop)
   alarm[0] = 10;
   can_bomb = 0;
}

dont forget your semicolons

sound_play(bombdrop);

[Kain]

There are a couple of cases where semicolons are needed (maybe more):

-After the var statement (ex: var xx; )

-In for loops (ex: for(x=0; x<10; x+=1))

-Sometimes whenever you're using an explicity ID# to get its variables (ex: (100101).x)

Generally semicolons are optional in GML, but it's probably bad habbit to not have them since they can cause very weird and hard to tracable errors in very rare cases.
