Animation Triggers For 8 Direction Movement?

Tried adding physics ?

Simply apply impulse at an upward angle, and the gravity wwill pull it down again.

lennaert i tried this method and it makes my character shake while walking,I also tried to make a smooth impulse and it did not work correctly,I must be doing something wrong.

Im really just trying to find out the right steps to take to make my character jump.

Sorry not been around over the weekend

In a streets of rage type game as long as there is no platforming involved you can give the impression of a "jump" simply by having your animation frames origin points lower than the base of your sprite, this would have an added benefit of keeping your Y position constant,but your character going up...

thats actually a good approach :) might require a couple eextra frames for smoothness, but should work decent :)

pixel perfick lennaert there will be platforming availible to the player.

Thats why i need to know.I actually want him to jump.

He will be walking down a wide street and cars will be on the sides of the road for the player to jump onto.

Ive seen no games on C2 with this effect.

RookieDev it should still work, ensure you set your collision box above your characters feet and as lennaert said add a few extra frames to smooth it up...I will have a go at a capx tomorrow if you get no joy with it...

pixel perfick I would love to see a visual representation of what you are talking about regarding the origins of the animations to make something similar to a jump.

If you do create something do you mind if i would place it inside the capX tutorial section?

I would really love to learn how to do this the right way,Ive been able to make everything else work correct but this.Thanks Pixel perfick

pixel perfick do you mind showing me how this works?

I have been trying for a few days to get it correct and im getting nowhere fast.Thank you for your previous replies.

Hi, sorry not been about, hope this explains better than written description...

I used 8 direction for speed, take note of the origin points in the animation frames, with refinement it may do what you need...

pixel perfick thank you for showing me this capX file,I really am lost when it comes to this type of movement.I will be away for a few days because im moving,but i wanted to know, if i come across an issue with this file do you mind if i ask you for help?

Thank you once again Pixel perfick! i owe you one

Yeah sure, no problem...

Add 8 animations to Sprite which also has 8 dir motion

walk0

walk1

walk2

walk3

walk4

walk5

walk6

walk7

These should each have the frames for the directional movement.

Then: (simplistic approach)

every tick

sprite set animation:

"walk"&ceil(8*(1+Sprite.8Direction.MovingAngle/360)-0.5)%8

play from current frame

Voila ....

This is such a simple way of doing 8 way animations. Though I am having an issue with figuring out which of the walk0 - walk7 handles what direction animation.

Is there an order of the directions.. Like walk0 = up, walk1 = down ?

I assumed that from 0 - 7 it would be:

0 = up

1 = up-right

2 = right

3 = down-right

4 = down

5 = down-left

6 = left

7 = up-left

But when I implement it it seems almost backwards or off.

Never mind, I figured it out.

0 is right and it goes clockwise after that.
