  • Why don't we make a game like Super Smash Bros. but with Scirra characters, items, and levels? Just some ideas I'm throwing out.

    I'm thinking of taking the best of the series and improving on it - for example, there could be an Adventure Mode where you go through levels before fighting your next opponent, only the levels are skippable.

    And there could be coins or stars or whatever that you win after every fight and after beating the final boss(s) to unlock new modes, minigames, characters, skins, levels, items, menu backgrounds, music, etc.

    I'm not sure how this would get started, though. Just ideas.

  • //Example 1//

    Key Down "Up" >

    Simulate Up

    Set Animation to "up"

    //Example 2//

    Key Down "Up" >

    Simulate up

    Set direction "up"

    if direction="up">

    Set animation "up"

    -----

    If that doesn't work then you have something wrong and need to post a CAPX for us to see what exactly is messing up

    That worked, thanks everyone :)

  • Make sure the object's properties, the "Default Controls" is set to "NO"

    I set default controls to No. I tried the alternative controls again - new keyboard events instead of subevents. My character moves, but doesn't change animation frames.

  • Hey nickkname

    you need to do simulate constrol aswel.

    like this

    <img src="http://i.imgur.com/tci0beo.png" border="0" />

    I made a new event with simulated controls. My character goes to new animation frames - when I press W for Up, he becomes the WalkUp frame - but I can't move my character.

    So I made the simulated controls a subevent under the keyboard controls, but my character could neither change frames or move.

    I made the Keyboard event into "Or" blocks and added WASD and IJKL controls, but when I tested it out, the player doesn't move.

  • It's probably off screen somewhere. Go to "File -> Preferences" and click "Reset dialogs". That should take care of it.

    It worked! Thanks :)

  • I used this animation tutorial: scirra.com/tutorials/413/direction-based-sprite-animation

    But I can't find the List of Animations window. Here is what I mean. Left is the tutorial, right is what I have. Clicking on the Animation window does not bring up the List of Animations window.

  • I accidentally delete my game file and didn't back it up. Is there a way to download my game file from the Arcade?

  • 1. A behavior or feature that makes the transparent parts of GIF images non-sold when the image has a Solid behavior (good for mazes, bridges, etc.)

    2. A behavior or feature that makes objects glow and illuminate the layout

    3. A motion control object - for Kinect, Wii U, and PS Move

    4. A laptop touchpad object - like the mouse, keyboard, etc.

  • nickkname - try the alternative torrent download instead.

    I updated to the newest stable release and still can't update or upload my game - I tried both, neither works. I get this error:

    <img src="http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/827/20798092.jpg" border="0" />

    The webpage stops loading and the bar next to the Browse button goes blank.

  • I got this error message when downloading r131, because once again I can't update my game:

    <img src="http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/9145/capture2hy.jpg" border="0" />

    I tried updating my game before r131 but the window wouldn't load. I tried downloading r131 two times and got the same error message (above).

  • Ok, you are setting your Text object to show the score on the Start of Layout. That only happens when the layout first starts. What you want to do is the add code to show the score in the text object either every tick, or when a score is updated.

    Thanks!

  • I have r130 and I can't upload the newest version of my game. The window just freezes.
