Flashback, Prince of Persia type of movement?

Hi!

So basically, Ive been working on the proof of concept of my game project.

Now, after adding many features and getting to understand C2 a bit more, I arrive to a total knockout corner <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy">

I've been trying to figure out a way to do something like what is described here:

I know I should switch to Custom movement. I fiddled with it a bit but I'm struggling to get something properly done.

So basically what I need is for someone to point me out towards information, tutorials or anything that could help me.

Thanks in advance!

By the way, what I did was create a variable called GridSize and set up to 32. Also a currentxPos variable which is updated with the current position on x of the Player. I got a simple grid movement working but only if I use On keyboard pressed and not Down. if I change it, the Player starts to behave strangely. So I assume it's something relative to how I'm using the expression. For now I'm simply adding the gridsize to the x pos of the player.

Cinematic platformers are quite tricky to do.

This should give you some head start with movement.

Hey shinkan, never saw this .capx file before, but it's quite helpful since there's a good amount of comments.

This should definitely help me a better understanding. Thanks!

Your welcome.

I have two projects, both with movements and animations working. But they are quite old and complicated. Probably I would make them very differently if I had to remade them now . They are abandon project, so I can show you some stuff from them. PM me if you are intereseted.

Flashback was one of my favorite games, along with blackthorne, another world etc.

Good memories.

Reven managed to get the movement right - wish I could pick these guys brains.
