OK! Next problem:

When the slug gets hit with rain it goes red (separate sprite - sSlugScream) so i'm

Code:

if(place_meeting(x,y,oDrop))

{
sprite_index=sSlugScream;
}

if (sprite_index=sSlugScream)
{
if (timer<timer_max)
{
timer+=1;
}
else
{
sprite_index=sSlugR
}           

For some reason, it only goes red once. The following times it gets hit it doesn't change to sSlugScream anymore just stays normal.
Does anyone know why it's doing this?

You are missing a closing curly brace, that could be part of it. Also code is easier to read when tabbed

It needs to reset that timer each time, I'd assume - after saying 'sprite_index=sSlugScream;', add a line with 'timer=0' or whatever. Also, yeah, the closing bracket.

Thanks guys - that fixed it!

The bracket thing was my failure to copy the whole of the code - it's in there.

onwards and upwards until the next problem arises. : )
