because you've made no toggle like i did...

in your case both events fire and thats why it sets timescale to 0 and then instantly to 1.0 again :)

here is a quick example of a pause toggle button:

Well, upgrade to 1.8 then :D

Install it to a seperate folder if you don't like beta's

and ofcourse i can make him fly backwards instead:

should be quite straight forward....

player on collision with enemy

enemy.x > player.x

-->

player.x = player.x - 10

player.y = player.y - 10

EDIT:

quick example: dl.dropbox.com/u/45711709/knockback.capx

Sure...

Not a great example but should help :D

You need a global "empty" sprite and the snapshotcanvas function... that's all

Thanks for the effect :)

However i found that when i create a layer (gui for example) above the layer with the alpha threshold effect, it won't work anymore :(

you should read my topic here:

scirra.com/forum/efficient-text-parsing-for-textadventure_topic56478.html

i got some excellent help in there :)

Post your scrapped projects here... i know you've got some ;D

i'll start with one of my old projects:

Plinko, a clone of... ;)

stuff.ize.dj/Plinko

controls = left mb

Wow thanks alot guys, alot cleaner and easier than my approach! :D

no one?

where is Kyatric when you need him? <img src="smileys/smiley19.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Hey,

i was wondering if someone has an idea how to do efficient text parsing for textadventure games?

Maybe you saw my test "game" here:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/45711709/INside/index.html

While this works, it's ALOT of work to setup the events and i have no idea how to save / load the game once it gets bigger because i'd have to store all variable and group states :O

Here is a realtime version of my parser so you can see how it works currently and what i could change / redo / add to make it better:

Solution: take key, unlock door with key, open door

Thansk in advance for any input / ideas you guys can give :)
