Make a Castlevania-like Whip

Hello everyone !

This time I need help for doing a whip like Castlevania... What do I mean ? A whip that can be use at 8 directions... but also for hanging on hooks... Here is an example :

I hope that you can help me...

Sorry to double post, but can someone help me please ? I tried with a line object but it can't use it properly !

One way you can do it is just by using a whip animation. At the end of the animation check if the end of the whip is colliding with a hook. If it is, disable the current movement scheme and start a pendulum swing. At the end of the swing revert back to the original movement.

Here is one way to go about it:

If you want a more realistic whip you can try physics objects hinged together:

Thanks a lot ! I manage to do the hooks hanging, but I still can't do the whip attack at 8 directions...

Hi Folks, I am using Construct 2 and can't open the .cap files. Can you help me out, I am also looking for help with whip mechanics.

Thanks

If you install construct classic you can open the cap file and look at the events. It should look much like c2 events so you usually can copy everything over. I don't have access to either software right now so I'm unable to do it or even see what I did.

On the other hand this is a pretty old solution and you'd probably get better solutions by posting in the c2 section of the forum instead. There's a lot of creative c2 users that may just not read topics in the construction classic section.

groovy, thanks for the advice.
