How make Afterimages when i jump.

youtube.com/watch

I watched the video, then tried it out on an old platformer test I did ages ago and got it working in a couple minutes...

I cloned the playerimages object (that has all the animations in it). Renamed the cloned object afterimages, set its opacity to 50, and gave it the Fade behavior.

Then I added an event: playerobject Platform is jumping

then added actions:

playerimages Spawn afterimages

afterimages set animation to playerimages.AnimationName

afterimages set animation frame to playerimages.AnimationFrame

afterimages stop animation

afterimages Move behind playerimages

then added a subevent checking if playerimages is mirrored

then added the action afterimages set Mirrored

I found that made too many images (makes one every tick), so I added a delay variable to slow that down, which looks better. Setting delay to a bigger number makes less images...

if you want to create images while the player is falling as well as when he is going up (the second half of a jump is considered falling), then make the event where you check if the player is jumping an Or block, and add another condition checking if the player is falling.

That's a fantastic waste of VRAM there. I'll admit I used to do that back in my MMF2 days though lol. In C2 you can use the paster or canvas object by R0j0hound.

+Every 0.05 seconds

+Player is NOT on floor

-Create Paster at Player.x , Player.y

-Paste Player object

+Paster opacity > 0

-Subtract 240 * dt from Paster.opacity

+Paster opacity < or = to 0

-Destroy Paster object

THANKS!!!
