  • I have to go do Easter activities but you have made enough effort that its only fair I give my capx. (FYI I am using the beta release like I said early you can get the same version I have by downloading the beta at the bottom of the page.)

    HERE OF SOME NOTES::

    1. You only need the arm pinning to the player not them both pinning to each other.

    2. Take the no arm animation and make it the topmost animation for the arms so that it will be the default animation and you won't see the attack animation at the start of the level.

    3. I think it may be something with the origin points that is setup in the animation cause you will see in my .capx I was able to just pin and I didn't have to keep updating the position of the arms.

  • Yes you have to set the animation to loop in the animation editor

  • First thing I have one sprite object for the arms. And in that object I have 3 animations "Idle","Running","Attack" I have name this way so when the state is set I don't have to retype the animation name I just put the playerState variable as the animation to play.

    That is why you see the event at the bottom that as long as the playerState is set to something it will set the animation to that set state. So each sprite animation are name corresponding to make it work. Player object has an Idle and Running animation. Having multiple objects isn't the best method.

  • Yes, you at least know its possible.

  • Great cause I really don't do giving .capx cause having the person implement the instructions helps them to learn their way around C2. FYI: You can also get the beta one it at the bottom of the page. Its not just for license owners it has the same restrictions as the stable release. Also remember to remove the idle arm to make it separate to be the base of the arm animation

  • The link from earlier has been updated with your sprite.

    This go into how I handled you character

    It could be cleaned up in some areas but its a start, no?

    UPDATE

    After I fix the origin points and stuff I didn't need the armMount Variable to keep updating so if origins and imagepoints are setup right these are not necessary

  • NP It always take second eyes to help.

  • Also to be consistant the idle arm should be alone also. That just my Opinion but I will download your sprite and play with it. So the arm with have three animation stages. idle, running and attacking

  • UPDATE:Yea I tried enlarging them and shrinking the other text. That should be better. With the license you would have the option of families you could just make a player family and mirror them in one event.

  • I threw this together its quick and dirty see if this help you get started. I did before you provided you sprite so I will check into that.

    With the example I just used the animation speeds for idle and moving. I don't really have my software for screenshots with me sorry if its a bit blurry.

    Here is an example of it running--

  • I am so sorry. I didn't forget you just have classwork and lectures that I am dealing with . Is there a sprite that you are using to test what your trying to do out.

  • Don't have skype but I can set something up to help.

  • Not near my computer but it sounds like on the player object make an image point for the arms object to pin it. So set the arms origin point where you would mount it on the body and then add the 'PIN' behavior to the arm object. Then in the arm object layout have two animation set one for running another for throwing. After that go to the eventsheerr and the on start of layout event and have the arms pin itself to the player body.

  • I think that is something you would have to ask Ashley. But I haven't really seen people talking about something like that. Most are focus on IAP, Leaderboard integration etc etc. First I saw someone mention this.

  • Are you trying to get it to close? If so what you can do is "Browser on suspend" execute javascript close() and close it that way.
