You might make a good point. While i am playing through my lvl, he i seem to loose track of him a bit sometimes with the busyness. Although i did lighten the background images and set the background to scroll at a different pace. It made a big difference. But now you got me thinking about changing some character colors. I think you make a good point.

Thank you for the suggestions. And i definitely will look into applying different scroll rates. I have not done that. I think that might help a lot. But i am Going to go through and try to make the background colors a little lighter To bring out the active layer.

And i appreciate the compliment. This is my first game and have never really tried to draw anything like this before. I feel like i have spent my last two weeks doing nothing but inkscape =)

Was wondering if you guys had and tricks or tips for making the active layer you play on. stand out a little more then the background. I recently started redrawing everything (I am really no artist but have been trying my best.) But to me it looks like all the colors are just kind of mashing together everywhere. And my interactive elements and enemies are just kind of blending in. And thoughts?

Thanks.

So i have a Animation through Spriter. I made one called "duck"

My Playerbox that my animation is set to, has a size of 32x90

I really want to make my character be able to duck under oncoming bullets.

This is kind of how i have gone about it so far. I can get the playerbox to avoid bullets fine. but my animation is not playing correctly. I think it has something to do with maybe while the Arrow is being held down it is playing over and over?

Any suggestions?

I have animated my player sliding down the wall. But when i jump off he stays in the slide pose. Any ideas. This is my set up so far.

Hmm, seems every time i try to upload capx it refreshes the page to blank. Is it a reputation thing?

I would love some help, but im a little embarrassed by how spastic and unorganized all my stuff is. Its kind of a organized chaos. I am not sure i know how to set up a function like that. only been working with the program a couple weeks so still trying to figure stuff out. So i would defiantly use the help. I am going to go try and neaten everything up a little.

I will give that shot. Have not used timers much. But if it is more common to use timers for text. I will learn to do it! thank you

Here is how i have it currently set up feel like something is a little wrong. Because it should be working smoother?

I messed it up more somehow and now its not working well at all i must be missing something.

After some tinkering I was able to figure it out. Thank you.

Hi guys, I have set up check points throughout my lvl, when these checkpoints are hit it adds one to a variable that i set to play certain texts for each check mark. (the only way it made since to me)

It is working fairly good except if you get to the second check point before the first text is over.

It plays both of the texts at the same time. Is there a command i can put in to cancel out the first text once the next check box is hit.??? and suggestions would be appreciated. thanks
