  • Can't believe I missed this.. :/ Good luck to all who entered though!

  • Just browsing your posts trying to catch up with your progress! Doing this game to take a break from doing Insanity's Blade? hahah Wish I had that creative energy...

    Didn't this game have some huge arsed crab as a boss or something?

  • Man, can't believe the progress you made on this. Looking lovely.

    You got a release date for this yet? (soz if I missed that post.. just browsing.. ;) )

  • Create a layer.

    Draw the shape that you want to be a mask.

    Create another new layer above that one.

    Then hold ALT while moving the mouse pointer BETWEEN the 2 layers and you'll see the icon change.

    Click LMB.

    Now whatever you draw on the newest layer, it'll be restricted to the shape of the one below.

    OR...

    Create a new layer.

    Where you clicked the new layer icon on the layers palette / window, you'll see an icon that looks like a rectangle with a circle in the centre.

    Click that while on the new layer.

    This adds a layer mask to that layer.

    Now, make sure the layer mask is selected for the layer.

    Select BLACK colour to draw and hide parts of the layer.

    WHITE colour shows parts of the layer.

  • anthonykojima, thanks! Glad you liked my version. Feel free to use it for a sequel (hint hint) if it's any easier for you.

    I may add AJAX / XML loading to it now that I'm comfortable using those. Let me know if that's something that would interest anyone. I tend to be more motivated to do stuff for other people than I do for myself ;p

  • nothaseo, sorry man. Been away. I can't seem to find the fixed version. I remember it was something simple and stupid ;p I'll try and get round to fixing it shortly when I have my coding head on!

  • Tokinsom, ah I was just pissing about with the Flashback clone ;p Good to know it works. Working imperfectly is better than not working at all! I might have a bash over the weekend to check fast moving objects as I've never had the need to check those. Working on a game now that may require it though so who knows.. ;)

  • nothaseo, hmm don't know tbh. Never exported to anything but html5 for Chrome to preview. Hopefully someone knows why!

    I've had a few drinks so it won't be today I get the fixed version / fix it myself again. Remind me tomorrow the same way :D Sorry man. I hate promising stuff that I fail to deliver :/ Better I let you know than ignore you eh ;p

    As for the file appearing in osX but not Windows.. again, don't know man. I just imported the file into the project through the project panel :/

  • nothaseo, no problem. Hope it helps :) The only problem with it is, with very few questions, you may see a question repeat (only because it reloads them and happens to choose the same one from the previous round). I did fix it, but can't remember where I put the fixed capx - was something simple anyway. It would be a very slim chance of it being noticable if you had loads of questions. However, if you want me to look it out, I'll search tomorrow.

  • nothaseo, here's a version I knocked up for someone else, which loads a text file through AJAX..

    Quiz

  • Notepad then? ;D

  • Completed. Good luck man!

  • Awww damnit! I spent the last 3 hours coding up a Flashback clone just for you! ;p

    Glad you got it sorted though. So the detector falling with the player at high speeds was ok?

  • Seems you haven't used the forums in a while too ;p You posted in the HELP WANTED section (as in people paying for work). You want the HOW DO I forums ;)

    Anyway..

    Smiley -> Set Position (Self.X, Mouse.Y)

    That what you want?

  • Depends on the style of the intro.

    You want comic style? beufreecasse's suggestion is the way to go.

    You want the same style as ingame (sprites with with speech bubbles etc)? Checkout out the timeline plugin in the Plugins section. That will help you with the timing of dialogue etc.
