Hmm I dont think it should slow down that much that fast though....if you want you could send the cap to me at and I'll have a look over it

Haha now that you mention it your right it is creepy. Its the suspense because ur expecting they will fire at you at any moment

You may or may not have noticed that in layer properties theres a field for 'inherrit layer'. If you tick this it means that layer will be given all the objects on that layer as well. This is an IDE side thing only, and was implimented originally so if you have like 20 levels in your game, and each level has a layer which contains the health, score, current weapon, etc, you could make a separate layout called 'scraps' or something, and make all the levels inherrit various layers from 'scraps' which are common between all the levels.

Anyway, this example demonstrate how you can exploit this feature to make a parralaxing screen

Very nice Small suggestion : Make the set y of sprite this:

Sprite2.y+('y')+ min(0,(sin(Sprite.angle)*40))

Makes the arms not move away as much and looks better when facing down. I presume u'll limit the directions so if it passes 90 degrees it turns around etc.

The maths for the pipe was a real mind f***

Not bad but I feel flamethrower effects are achieved better with particles of flame being fired, and rotating and growing. However...perhaps that plus the plasma object could create an interesting effect. I might give it a go brb

LOL

As a fellow Australian you should have known better! Being Australian means your automatically loved by all other nationalities

I put the two animations next to each other, the original feels like it has more frames because of the skin revealed on the tighs...it makes the leg in the foreground and the leg in the background more distinguised...

I had a look at the original angel animation and its 10 frames.....and yet so is urs...why doesn't it run as smoothly as this

BTW where do you get sprites as gifs like that ?

Sorry I totally forgot to comment on the game itself! Its got potential but I kind of feel the running animation is missing a frame or something....maybe its just me...but the hand stand is cool and the blood effects are pretty sweet.

Oh and new rule, people who fight on these forums will have their avatar changed to this:

You've been warned

Yeah if your played goo tower you'll notice that where you can place the blobs is somewhat restricted...its probably to prevent the spring from 'beating the crap' out of the rest of the tower.

Some ways I've thought about reducing the events is to allow the pairer plugin to handle automatic repositioning, stretching, and angling of objects. Would be kind of cool if you could just tell a sprite to draw as a line between 2 other sprites, and the plugin would automatically change the width, position, and angle accordingly.

Also I added the springs as an action which you must call each frame....might be good at add another action to allow them to be like hinges where you just create the spring and you dont need to worry about it no more.

I might be able to reduce it to 2 events then....

Na its not one event Its 5 events.

However you've set me a challenge now... There must me a way to make it 1 eventable !

Oh in the layout properties I've checked 'no scroll boundary'. The layout itself is actually only 640x480 heh. However, the stars in the background are 1134x969... dunno why I went for those numbers And they scroll really slowly due to parallaxing, allowing them to stay on the screen for ages.
