My fish won't grow, shrink, or die.

#1 Are you using the latest TGB? I vaguely recall having problems accessing the console several versions ago but they went away with recent updates.

Also, is your fish moving at all? I don't see any calls to set the size with what you've posted. If it's not moving, make sure the fish's script field is set correctly in the editor. (It looks like the class field should be set to Fish).

#2 Thanks for looking it over. I am not using the latest TGB. I posted the fish code though and not the player code <feeling sheepish>.

function PlayerFish::onLevelLoaded(%this, %scenegraph)
{
$FishPlayer = %this;

moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "up", "fishPlayerUp();", "fishPlayerUpStop();");
moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "down", "fishPlayerDown();", "fishPlayerDownStop();");
moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "left", "fishPlayerLeft();", "fishPlayerLeftStop();");
moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "right", "fishPlayerRight();", "fishPlayerRightStop();");
moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "space", "fishPlayerBoost();", "fishPlayerBoostSop();");

%this.lowerLife();
}


function fishPlayerUp()
{
$FishPlayer.moveUp = true;
$FishPlayer.updateMovement();
}

function fishPlayerDown()
{
$FishPlayer.moveDown = true;
$FishPlayer.updateMovement();
}

function fishPlayerLeft()
{
$FishPlayer.moveLeft = true;
$FishPlayer.updateMovement();
}

function fishPlayerRight()

}

function fishPlayerRightStop()

}

function fishPlayerBoost()
{
if($FishPlayer.dead)
return;

%flipX = $FishPlayer.getFlipX();

if(!%flipX)
{
%hSpeed = $FishPlayer.hSpeed * 3;
} else
{
%hSpeed = -$FishPlayer.hSpeed * 3;
}

$FishPlayer.setLinearVelocityX(%hSpeed);
}

function fishPlayerBoostStop()
{
$FishPlayer.setLinearVelocityX( 0 );
}

function PlayerFish::updateMovement(%this)
{
if(%this.dead)
return;

$FishPlayer.setLinearVelocityX( -FishPlayer.hSpeed );
}

$FishPlayer.setLinearVelovityX( $FishPlayer.hSpeed );
}

}

if(!%this.moveUp && !%this.moveDown)

}

function PlayerFish::modifyLife(%this, %dmg)
{
%this.life += %dmg;


if(%this.life > 100)
{
%this.life = 100;
} else if (%this.life < 0)
{
%this.life = 0;
}


if(%this.life <= 30)
{
%this.dead();
} else
{
%this.updateLifeSize();
}
}

function PlayerFish::updateLifeSize(%this)
{
%lifeMultiplier = %this.life / 100;


%newWidth = %this.maxWidth * %lifeMultiplier;
%newHeight = %this.maxHeight * %lifeMultiplier;

%this.setSize(%newWidth, %newHeight);
}

function PlayerFish::dead(%this)
{
%this.setFlipY(true);
%this.setLinearVelocityY(-10);
%this.dead = true;
}


function PlayerFish::lowerLife(%this)
{
%this.modifyLife(%this.lifeDrain);

if(!%this.dead)
{
%this.schedule(500, "lowerLife");
}
}

#3 I suggest you download a demo of Torsion and load the game project in that, it should quickly tell you which script is faulty. You can also set breakpoints with it, and step through the code.
