  • When you have an object selected, under Properties you'll have the option to select the initial visibility. You can also change the visibility of an object with events in the event sheet.

    As for your save game question:

  • AoE - just have big circle sprite spawn right where the projectile landed. Make the sprite as big as you want your AoE to be and everything within that circle will take damage. And obviously you're going to make that circle invisible.

    Melee - create a rectangle, as big as you want your melee range to be, make it invisible and have it always in front of your character. Now if an enemy is overlapping that rectangle and the player presses the attack button, deal damage to that enemy.

  • I made my version of the thumbstick.

    I really rushed through this, so I didn't put any comments or even rename some of the sprites, sorry.

    Hope it easy enough for you to understand. (Start with setting the "MovementTest" layer and the white "Sprite" sprite to 100 opacity)

    I only put mouse controls, but you can easily add touch controls.

    Hopefully I'll have touch added and tested by the end of the week.

    EDIT: I am aware that I could have used only one sprite instead of the 9 used on the MovementTest layer, but I guess this makes it easier to understand.... or something.

  • Works great, thanks.

  • Thanks, totally missed that thread.

  • I'm having trouble with changing the movement of an enemy via numb variables.

    Move = 2 easily sets to Move = 1 when overlapping, but doesn't work vice versa.

    Also using boolean works fine.

  • A new question appears: why didn't I try this before?

    Thanks.

  • What's the best way to make every single instance of a sprite do an action when the main character is near that sprite?

    Simply having:

    Character x < Enemy.x + 100

    Character x > Enemy.x - 100

    ----------------set Enemy X to Enemy.x + 1

    would make every instance of Enemy move if the Character is 100 pixels in front or behind of the first Enemy added to the layout.

    It doesn't check the conditions for every instance of Enemy individually.

  • Upload your capx file not your game.

  • What exactly happens if you don't add the keyboard events?

    Upload your .capx and I'll see what I can do. EDIT: Tomorrow.

    Hopefully I'll be able to explain the steps to you.

    Also:

    Use sub-events when you need to use the same event multiple times.

    Put your events as subs on groups to add them to the group.

    I used two different animations for the left and right animations because I made that prior to the r69 release. You can use the mirror property.

  • The keyboard events are here because, most likely, you set on key press set animation to "walk".

    Without the keyboard events as sub-events under Platform is falling, pressing the left or right arrow keys in air will result in looping the walk animation.

    You need to take in account all the possibilities that can occur during each step of action where you need to change the animation of the sprite.

  • Actually the 1 pixel difference was most likely caused because I forgot to edit the collision polygon for the sprites.

    Pixel rounding didn't seem to help much, but it is funny how they both always spawn at the same position, even if it is at 311.1045.

  • Thanks.

    It would be nice if it was constant at 311, but 1 in every 10 jumps sprite.y stops somewhere in between 311 and 312, adding up to 4 decimals.

    I guess it can't be helped.

  • So I have two sprites of the same height.

    I've added the event Sprite1 on collision with Sprite2 and the sub-event Sprite1 Y = Sprite2 Y.

    The action is Destroy Sprite2.

    Shouldn't walking with Sprite1 into Sprite2 on the same platform (same height) trigger the event?

    Example:

  • That's exactly what I did (plus added the arrow keys are down condition) and it works fine for me.
