Shooting Problems

Hello,

As the name suggests, I have been having trouble with shooting my game. I use a Terraria style bow shooting. The shooting itself works perfectly (I haven't added the arrows yet) but the problem is the player's animation. I basically try to round the player's attack frame to the angle of the bow. I have attached a pic below of the programming. Any help why this is not working will be appreciated.

Sorry for the double post, but here is what is happening: The player's frame is always the first frame (Image below).

Bump.

Angles are weird, I think C3 will read "is between 345 and 65 degrees" backwards because it likes you to put the smaller angle before the larger one

I'm not sure if that's why this is happening but I would change that and also add an 'else' to each condition checking the angle

so

Is between angle a and b

ELSE

is between angle b and c

ELSE

is between angle c and d

etc

Thank you I will give that a try!

Tried it, Didn't work :(

Any other suggestions?

Add debug output to your events, for example in event 40 add Browser Log "Not mirrored, frame 0" and so on. If you have other events which change player appearance, add logging there too.

Run the game, open browser console (F12) and see what happens.

I have used the debugger but with no success. The event is reaching the condition, but not the action. For some reason I think Construct is not registering the condition. Anything else to try?

Thanks.

Well, that's your problem. Try to find why none of the conditions are triggered - put Browser Log Player.angle in parent event.

Hmm...

Should I file a bug report?

No, I'm sure the problem is in your code. Browser Log can help to find which events are triggering and which not, and why are they not triggered.

I guess I'll try it. It is opened using the f12 key? And what would I be looking for?

So you haven't tried it yet? Then how do you know that conditions don't work?

Press F12, select Console tab, you should be able to see messages which you output with "Browser Log" action.

Thanks.

I used the debugger and breakpoints to figure out if events work.

So do I use the Browser action 'Log'? And where do I put it and what text do I put?

Thanks
