I don't have an inventory system yet.

The final items would be best as objects with instance variables describing the modifiers and name.

Suppose I would make the prefixes and suffixes also as objects with modifiers and name as instance variables. How do I create a random object from a list of possible outcomes?

I want to be able to drop "Kings Sword of Haste" or "Godly Plate of the Whale"

Prefix and suffix that means different modifiers.

How would you go about and do that? Where do I store all the info?

I am using construct 2 but i hope the answer will be applicable for me as well.

It worked, thank you!

1. I create a 'tiled background' object, fill it with green color.

2. Place the object in game window.

3. Launch the game.

Expected Outcome: Everything is green.

Actual Outcome: Only original object is green.

Do I miss any step?

Thank you dop2000!

Right...

any other workarounds?

the interface for multiple animations in one sprite is quite hard-worked.

Could I use numbers as names for animation and change animation via math formula with angle as input?

Controls

move with WASD

aim with mouse, throw bombs with right click

restart on space when dead

5 different weapon combos (press 1,2,3,4,5)

number 5 also requires left click

Thanks!

Thats an upgrade, to use the animation frames instead of changing animations

I guess the frames can be the result of a formula, mapping every degree to a frame number

Hi!

In my previous top down games, the character looks at the crosshair and the image is rotated accordingly

Now i want to have a view with slight angle (imagine starcraft view), so i need to change character picture depending on what direction the character is looking, not only rotate the character sprite

Brute force solution would be to define single picture sprite animations for each rotation and go

If angle is blabla, set animation blabla

one condition for each picture

Is there a more convenient way to do this?

Say I have three object types.

Player, weapon, bullet.

Then I want to have a variable in player for the currently used weapon, and a variable in weapon for the bullet type it uses.

example

player.weapon = lasergun

lasergun.bullet = laserbullet

if left click

player spawn player.weapon.bullet

How should i program these kinds of situations as simple as possible?

I have a top-down game.. I want enemies to group like in starcraft, not overlapping each other.

To achieve that, I make the enemies solid and make them use 8-directions movement to have them be effected by solid.

I move enemies forward using "Move forward" action.

It works super well, except when it get's crowded.. then the squeezed enemies "teleport" to the edges of the group.

Anyone have experience with overcoming the teleporting glitch in this kind of setup?

Any tips or ideas are welcome
