So yeah, here's me (on the left) rockin out with my mate(s) playin Overture 1928 by good old Dream Theater (curse their incorrect spelling).

To see my insane bass player buddy you may need to actually save the image as its late and I can't be stuffed resizing it heheh.

To access the tileset import options, start by adding a completely empty sprite (I'm not doing pictures right now as I have a killer migraine...), now go to the animator tab which is typically on the right hand side of the work area somewhere. Click on the empty frame with the number '1' underneath it and click on 'import'

You are then given a file browser to choose what you want to import. You can use this to either import many images (for example, a sequence of images), or you can use it to import a tileset image (or both if your heart desires)

Once you have selected the image(s) you want, press enter/ok and this fancy little import window will appear (give it some time, with many images/large images it has to load)

On this window are all the options you need to split an image into tiles and stuff. You'll have to play around with it yourself as I haven't done it in months and like I said earlier, I have a whopper migraine...

I hope that was of some help

The way I would do it, would be to create some simple laser shooting system (that I don't have the time to think up right now) that only shoots in a straight line (without bounces as such), as soon as it hits an obstacle, spawns another version of the laser at the new bounce angle, which proceeds to go in a straight line again until it hits an obstacle.

I'm sorry I can't help much more than that, quite busy at the moment, however this cap I made might help you get the angle of bounce that you want

I really like this

Its a -little- unforgiving, but what post apocalyptic world isn't

My one gripe is I can't seem to shoot as fast as I would like, and sometimes, probably due to the frame rate, my bullets go through enemies without killing them.

I do appreciate the amount of work that must have went into this and I think its awesome. i give it, 4.5 stars (out of five don't worry)

I'm jumping up and down and eagerly looking forward to it XD

I always thought an exterior tileset would be cool

Check this out :O

Woohoo personal best!

try the system condition 'for each object' thusly:

For each child

if child is overlapping school

-->set child pv to 1

Well I actually -did- post something earlier along the lines of, 'yeah sure' but I deleted it cause I wanted to see how it would play out

I was talking to my brother about TC the other day (he loves it too), and we were saying its totally the kind of game that could have some pretty mad lore behind it and stuff. Not to mention the atmosphere is awesome, my wife gets uneasy on the lava/gas music haha

Towerclimb is one of the coolest games I've ever played. I just wish the revive potion wasn't so bugged

That's exactly what I was thinking when I was making it haha

Glad I could help

I could be wrong as I don't know the real reason behind the size of your plasma object, but this might help

I suppose if you needed it on a per object basis you could apply the same principle to multiple, smaller plasma objects

The ONLY easy way to do isometric is to not involve height in the game, and then its just a glorified top down game in essence. The other way is like driving nails into the soft parts of where your little toe joins onto your foot...
