Switching to platform.Vector Y solved the issue - thanks =]

The comment block where it says "Wall Jumping 2.0 by BluePhaze" is all that i got from his tut

I'm using the steam version - and its bugged - and not allowing me to opt into beta =[ I'll try recoding it w/out the bullet behavior though >,> also over complication is my curse lol the right side works =p Thanks for the reply =]

I'm using the steam version of construct 2 - so...I can't check your capx lol

are you using the beta version?

create family genEnemy -- Families let you make make stuff affect multiple objects - enemy a the flier - enemy b the slug w/e

instance variables

-maxSpeed

-slowTimer

genEnemy on created

- set max speed to genEnemy.maxSpeed

- set genEnemy.slowTimer to 0

on genEnemy hit

- genEnemy set max speed to ((genEnemy.maxSpeed*(8/10)) - for 20% decrease

- set genEnemy.slowTimer to 20

if genEnemy.slowTimer = 0----invert --- i.e. if slow timer does not = 0

-set genEnemy.slowTimer to (genEnemy.slowTimer - dt) -- might need to be a sub event ---- system - every tic - set genEnemy.slowTimer to (genEnemy.slowTimer - dt) --- not positive though =p

else

-set genEnemy max speed to 400

This is driving me nuts... I'm trying to make a megaman zero/fortune summoners inspired game, and i want the player to be able to wall jump ++ wall slide

so i fiddled for a while and got both working for the right side

when you try it on the char's right - it works perfectly

however, left side has a bounce when the player collides with the wall

player collides with wall and is smoothe on the right side

players collides with wall on left and bounces before becoming smoothe

https://www.dropbox.com/s/67oy72qojqm4plq/bounceBad.png?dl=0

I can't figure it out.

This is a temp char - who only has the wall jump + wall slide code - the wall jump code does not affect it

Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: added urls for images since the forums don't feel like displaying them

Edit 2: Capx -- added the code to the platformer template - still has glitch

Also - something that's been nagging me - how do i stop keyboard input? - like

if gamePaused = True - accepting keyboard input = false

because time scaled based pausing doesn't stop the player from being able to act =<

Sweet after causing a black screen from having an the parent the container spawn an object in the container - I unbroke it and it works perfectly!

I'll still try the tint method for smaller enemies, but containers, fixed the problem I'd have with larger enemies, and gave me some ideas for modular boss designs

I'll update the original post with the final code to achieve this result.

Thanks for helping =]

I didn't actually notice the effects stuff...

I'd seen containers, but had no idea what they were for, thought it would be something like a more specific family, i/e not something that would fix the issue I'd had

But I will definitely look into both methods

thanks for the reply =]

This doesn't work <img src="smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

what happens, is it's either at 0 opacity or max

and even when the valkyrie should have full health, it's at max opacity

I knew why it was having trouble connecting each valkyrie to it's damg version, but I don't see how to fix it. I figured it'd be something with the uid's, but even then, when one valkyrie was low on health, all of them were displaying as heavily damaged

I'm going to have to look up a tutorial on For Each, I've never used it lol

Also

With what I was trying to achieve -- more damg = more opaque, a percentage based method makes more sense, since the opacity is based off a range of 0 invis - 100 opaque

besides I took a simple problem

20 out of 100 you'd want 80

10 / 100 you'd want 90

15/35 you'd want 57.1ish

ect

I'm going to have to play with that before I grasp it fully and see what it'd be useful for

However...I broke my brain again... I added multiple enemies, and I can't figure out how to get the enemy to spawn the damage version and have it only be affected by the enemy that spawned it

Valkyrie A B and C spawn

ValkyrieA spawns DamgValkyrie

ValkyrieA loses 20 health of 35

ValkyrieA should be the only one with a damg version showing

however, A B and C are all becoming Damaged =/

Valkyrie - on created

>>Valkyrie - spawn ValkyrieDamg

>>ValkyrieDamg - set position to Valkyrie

>>Set Angle to Valkyrie.Angle degrees

>> ValkyrieDamg set affector to self.UID

>> Valkyrie set affectorCall to ValkyrieDamg.UID

Valkyrie - health < self.maxHealth

-ValkrieDamg self.Affector = Valkyrie.affectorCall

>> Set Opacity -- Self.initialOpacity+((valkyrie.maxHealth-valkyrie.health)/valkyrie.maxHealth)*100

Edit: Haven't figured out what that expression would be useful for lol

//(3 - 2) * (15 - 8) / (7 - 2) + 8 //

gives 9.4 - first I'd though maybe range of damage verse armor, but then you'd prob use something like

-damg = random(2,8) -armor = 5 -pierce of 20%

so something like damg-armor+(pierce*damg)= dealt damg

so base 7 - 5 + (0.2 * 7) = 3.4 total damg

Because my brain is broken, this took a moment to figure out, so for funsies, I'll release the final result I came up with....

System Every Tick >> heliBossDamage - Set Opacity >> Self.initialOpacity+((heliBoss.maxHealth-heliBoss.health)/heliBoss.maxHealth)*100

I come from a background of game maker and there is a function you can call or script yourself that changes the color through programming

I figured there would be something similar in Construct 2 that would allow the same affect.

However, just using opacity is a perfectly good way + you got me to look up blend modes. And for what I'm trying to achieve that method works perfectly fine.

Witch is why I edited my original reply =p
