[Plugin] Time-Action Recorder and Player

Time-Action Recorder and Player (TARP)

(Update: 2013/05/01)

This is a WorkSheet -like plugin, to record the time-action list then play this list.

The different between TARP and worksheet is, TARP record action in plugin , worksheet reocrd acton by external editor like notepad.

User need to install timeline first. (Update timeline plugin if user already had)

Demo

• drag at gray area to draw something
• press "Play" to play previous trace

Capx

(This capx need to install canvas.)

Usage:

A. setup

Connect to timeline by action: "Setup" (event 1)

B. recorder

1. call action: "(recorder) Start" to start recording. (event 4)

2. call action: "record" to record action with current time. The interface of recorded action is the same as function object. (Call this function with these parameters) (event 5)

C. player

1. action: "(player) Load" to load time-action list (Expression: "RecorderList") (event 6).

User could save RecorderList into webstorage then load it at next time.

2. call action: "(player) play" to play time-action list. It will run action by call function object.

Another taptap capx.

So, this can be used to record the players movements, then replay them?

It records actions by storing "function call" (function name and it's parameter). Not to save the full moving path (sprite.X ,sprite.Y).

Cool, that could be usefull for asynchronous online multiplayer battles.

uhm, this is very interesting :)

Forgive my ignorance, i downloaded your examples with timeline and canvas plugins and i got

Ooops, I will check the plugin later.

I had updated these two capx, please download them again.

Thanks!

I edited TapTap version, at first it's missing setup timer.

So both examples worked.

I would like to know, is possible to download JSON where i record gameplay as platform and put JSON code in demo scene?

Joannesalfa

The record data could be got by "Expression:RecorderList". It's a JSON format string.

WOW, that is really very nice, this can be used in racing games like to record the race. <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Just an idea.

Thanks.

Update

• Support save/load system
• User does not need to assign timeline object if there is only one timeline object in the environment.

rexrainbow's TARP - TapTap.capx is awesome for music games like Dance Revolution, but how synchronize music and tarp? When start playing music then start tarp. And how record more than one tarp??...

Thanks!

The recorder is a level design tool for music games, to record the key press (or something else). You could save the result to a file. Put each record list into different file.

Then create another capx to be game-play application. Get these saved files by AJAX.

ok...I synchronize my song and recorded session...and I'm a noob...when I run recorder layout and record keys...where RecorderList save? How I play same recorded session more than once?? How save session?
