Hey ya'll,

I haven't been around the forum for a while, been busy with exams and whatnot.

Following Caspis Sinclair's tip, I had a look at Ashley's Instant Hit Laser example and after some tweaking and trying, I pretty much got what I wanted all along(So, I guess thanks to Ashley and Caspis )

Anyway, here's the "demo" for those who want to check it out(the green enemy is just for target practice, so don't worry, when I'm finished, the enemies will be a lot more challenging I hope . Plus, in order to influence him, you need to hover over him with your cursor. I had to do it like that, because collision detection just took to many resources when walking AND blasting at the same time. ):

Thanks for the tips.

I tried out the laser whip thing, but I just couldn't get it to work like I wanted.

Plus, since I added the light effects, the beams looking pretty good.(Although, I must admit that I've been looking at it a lot lately, so my impression may be a little off.... )

Here's the new version. I added a big green dot with some very early capture effect.

I'm working on another approach, though....

Thanks all!

This really helped me out!!!

Wow, thanks, man. That pretty much answered all my questions.

Hey, I searched the forum, but couldn't find any answer on this.

Does anyone have an idea how to make an object move in a circle around a defined center.

I looked at the available behaviors, but I'm not sure if any of them is capable of doing just that.

Can anyone shed some light on that?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply.

I just dropped the sprites completely and just went with particle effects.

I think that I pretty much nailed the look and feel of the proton beam.

Thanks for the feedback.

Anyone have an idea how to make the stream look more like a stream.

What I'm currently using are just little, round, colored sprites and I shoot them out in quick succession so I can us the sine behavior.

But, it just doesn't look entirely right...

Hey, I started making a Ghostbusters engine just for the hell of it.

So, here they are, the very first steps....

Hey, I used Construct for the first time today. I did the Ghost Shooter tutorial and made a flame thrower just to play around a little ......
