  • Update: I've implemented combat mechanics with different types of damages (physical, elemental, magic), armors, dmg reduction, special skills and other stuff. Also, I'm trying out some stylistic choices for the game :)

    Oh my gosh, amazing job man. I love how well your project is coming along and looking. I really like games like this that makes me want to explore it and fight monsters in a turn base battle.

  • Thanks so much for your help and your time doing the coding events. it works now and also thanks for a better coding then what I had for my events.

  • Oh okay. But they are inside the "pursue" state event. When I run the code that way, they just stop moving. they will wander, but when it switches to pursue, they move to the bottom of the screen and just stay there...

    this is the code of event 24-25 being inside State= "Pursue"

    and when I put 24-25 event in like this, the enemies just ignores the player

  • Ah, I understand what you mean now. Thank you very much. It works now. I changed event 23 to trigger once, and now it works. I appreciate your help a lot.

  • In the short example you shared to me, the bullets also uses everytick in your demo as well. So do I change that event then to something else for my project?

  • Thanks so much! That's exactly what im trying to accomplish! I followed the coding but the enemy doesnt fully follow the player. They will go back and forth and follow the player, but they won't actually go up or down to fully go to the player...

    this is the coding of it

    in event 23, I changed the event to "Each enemy" instead of "Enemy on create". I tried both and a few other different event such as "Enemy on screen" and "pick all, enemy" but they dont seem to work.

  • Im back again to tell another story of yet another one my projects that is sent to the grave(RIP). This game is called the Castle of Death.

    Castle of Death was a side project that did not go NO WHERE at all lol. It was game planned to be a platformer game with lots of traps that the player have to avoid and find their way out of a the deadly castle. The name was cliché and it was a very cheesy and cheap idea of a game. I actually only made the title and the background of the "game" and never bothered to do anything else with this project or even reopen this project within 3 years of me starting construct. Though this project is for sure dead and gone, I have already reinvented the idea and made a much better side project of a similar but better idea of a game then this. While I did like the skulls I made, this overall just wasn't something I would be investing my time in for.

  • Hope everyone had a merry Christmas! Im back working on my project and was wondering how I could get my enemies to move in a 90 degree movements towards my player. My enemies keep moving in angles when going towards him.

    I have them move the way I want them to move in my wander state, moving in the degree of 0, 90, 180, and 270. But when it comes to targeting the player, they just cut across the screen to target him and not move in, 0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees towards him. How do I get enemy using the bullet behavior to move towards player in 0, 90, 180 and 270 degree movements?

    This is move my code I have for their wander state.

    This is the code I have for the enemy pursue state.

  • Yes! I got it to work now using the Time Behavior. It's kinda janky, so I still got to do a little editing to make it smoother. but I got it to finally delete when there's no full connected trap or if it is a full connected trap but no enemies are in it, delete itself when necessary.

  • I wanted to make a thread where people can share their abandon projects/work or ideas that went bad and never got to see the day of light again (R.I.P).

    Also* Give a little background as to why you stopped working on it and tossed it out.

    Well today, I will start off with mine. To give a little background, I have ADHD and I can get bored of things real easily, especially projects that I have started but feel like it will be boring or just a waste of time. So in order to keep my mind going, I do projects that I find that are creative and very interesting to try to make. During last year of making my first major game, I made side projects of games I would like to make afterwards. But becoming a more serious developer, Im looking to make more wider styles of games that would attract more and not just arcade types. This project, I started at the time has been sent to graveyard. (R.I.P)

    Battle Front was one of my arcade games/projects at the time, that I thought would be interesting to make. It was a war game where the player has to shoot the opposing side. You could continue to shoot the wall to destroy their barrier and vice versa. Player could crotch down and hide behind wall if enemy was shooting and even throw grenades' that could explode a full section of a wall and vice versa.

    The background of the mountains where going to change too when the player advances more and more throughout the levels to simulate the time of day and to give the impression that these were long battles like an actual war. And the boss for this game was an actual tank every 10 levels.

    I haven't touched or opened this project since the end of 2019. But looking back on it. It would be a lot of work for me of my own and to try to get the sprites to do what I want them to do would be a lot. Im not that advanced, but I would go for it if it was really something I wanted to know. On top of that, this game probably wouldn't do well if I was to release it because not many people care for these types of games anymore in this type of style.

    So im back and I found many events that work, I also used your suggestion, but it deletes too fast to even process the line or even make a trap.

    My problem now is trying to figure out a way of making them delete reasonably and check if the trap has no enemies. Thanks once more though for your help

  • Similarly, you can add an event to stop the fill function and call the clear function if your flood fill algorithm reaches an edge or boundary...

    I kinda understand what you mean but im not sure how that would work for part 1. But I think I got a way of how I can get the line to auto-delete by making a point mark for them. For ex, there will be a point A and B sprite. Player will spawn point A on the press of the key of drawing the line trap. On key release, Point B will spawn, but if Point B is not overlapping Point A, set tile (0,0) 100x100 to tile 0 ( back black to what it was).

    Good to see you are making progress with this project :)

    Thanks! Im getting there!

    For the second part, deleting the tiles if there are no enemies trapped in the completed section...

    Thanks for your help and advice for this. I will try it out to see if it works
